Answer
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.
Every fade is technically a taper, but not every taper is a fade. The difference is how much of the head is involved and how short the shortest point goes.
Choose a fade for contrast and a taper for subtlety.
