High Fade for Westlake: Tight Sides, All Attention Up Top
A high fade starts its taper above the temple, shifting the visual weight toward your length and texture on top. Berny Diaz maps that starting line against your head shape before cutting, so the contrast looks deliberate rather than disconnected.

The High Fade Experience in Westlake FL
The defining detail of a high fade is where the taper begins: above the temple. From there, tight sides create a strong contrast with the hair left on top, whether you wear it textured, swept back or built into a pompadour. Placement matters more than simply taking the sides short. Set the fade too high and the sides can look flattened; set it too low and the cut loses its drama. Berny maps the line to your head shape first, then works toward the balance your chosen top needs.
For Westlake men with strong hair on top, this cut gives that growth a clear purpose. Length becomes the feature, not something lost between bulky sides. Fade Society offers a specific destination beyond the limited quality barber options in a fast-growing community: Berny Diaz, a 5.0 rating across 169 verified Booksy reviews, and Booksy Recommended status. Book the high fade under Hair Cut for $30 and 45 min. The appointment is at the West Palm Beach shop, with free parking on site when you arrive.

The Process
What Happens at Your High Fade Appointment
01
Set the Line Above the Temple
Berny starts by looking at your head shape and how much hair you want to keep on top. The high fade line is mapped above the temple, with its exact placement guided by your proportions. This avoids pushing the taper so high that the sides lose their shape.
02
Build the Contrast Through the Sides
The sides are worked tight beneath the mapped line, creating the contrast that makes a high fade recognizable. The transition needs to read cleanly without swallowing the upper sides. Berny keeps the relationship between the short sections and the remaining weight in view as the fade takes shape.
03
Give the Top a Clear Direction
With the sides reduced, the top becomes the main feature. Berny shapes that length around the look you discussed: texture, a swept shape or a pompadour. The goal is not automatically to cut it short, but to leave enough useful hair for the style you actually want.
04
Check the Shape as a Whole
The final check looks beyond the fade itself. Berny considers how the top sits against the tight sides and whether the silhouette holds together from different angles. You can discuss how you plan to wear it, so the finished high fade has a clear direction beyond the chair.
The Client
Who Gets a High Fade in Westlake
Westlake Residents Keeping Their Length
You want shorter sides, not a shorter version of everything. For Westlake residents growing or maintaining strong hair on top, a high fade separates those two goals. Berny maps the taper above the temple while keeping your preferred top shape in the conversation. The result is a haircut built around contrast, with length still doing the talking.
The Pompadour Wearer
If you live in Westlake and wear your hair up and back, the sides should support that shape rather than compete with it. A high fade puts the visual emphasis on your pompadour. Berny considers the height of the fade alongside the height you want on top, so removing bulk does not mean flattening the overall profile.
