What is a skin fade?

A skin fade is a haircut where the hair at the bottom of the sides and back is taken down to bare skin, then blended upward into longer hair with no visible line.

What is a taper fade?

A taper fade gradually shortens the hair at the sideburns and neckline only, leaving the rest of the sides longer. It is the most subtle and conservative fade.

What is the difference between a fade and a taper?

A fade blends hair all the way down to skin or near-skin across the sides and back. A taper only shortens the sideburn and neckline area and keeps the rest of the side length.

How often should men get a haircut?

What is a hot towel shave?

A hot towel shave is a traditional straight razor shave where hot towels soften the beard first, followed by shave oil, lather, razor passes and a moisturizing finish. At Fade Society it is $30 for 30 minutes.

How long does a fade last?

A fade looks its best for 7 to 10 days and stays presentable for about two to three weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows and how short the fade goes.

What should I tell my barber for a fade?

Say where you want the fade to start (low, mid or high), how short the bottom should go (skin or a guard number), and what length to keep on top.

What is the difference between a beard trim and a beard shape up?

A beard trim shortens overall length and reshapes the beard. A beard shape up only cleans the edges — cheek line, neckline and mustache — without removing length.

What is a shape up haircut?

A shape up, also called a line up or edge up, is precision trimmer and razor work that squares off the hairline, temples and sideburns for a sharp, defined edge.

How do you maintain a beard?

Wash it two or three times a week, condition or oil it daily, brush it to train direction, and get the edges cleaned professionally every two to three weeks.

Is a luxury barber worth the money?

Yes, if the price buys time and finishing. A $30 cut with a 45-minute appointment, hot towel and line-up delivers better value than a $20 cut in 15 minutes that you have to fix in ten days.

What is the difference between a barber and a hair salon?
