Skin fade styles we cut

"Skin fade" just means the hair blends all the way down to bare skin. Where that blend starts is up to you:

• Low skin fade — starts just above the ear and neckline. Subtle and smart; the easiest to grow out.
• Mid skin fade — begins around the temple. The most popular all-rounder — clean but not extreme.
• High skin fade — sits high on the sides for maximum contrast with the length on top. Bold and sharp.
• Skin fade + beard — we blend the fade straight into a shaped, hot-towel-finished beard so the whole look connects.

Not sure which suits you? Tell your barber the vibe you're after and how much upkeep you want — we'll recommend the fade height and length on top that works with your hair.

How often should you get a skin fade?

Because the shortest part sits at skin level, a fade starts to blur as it grows. Most blokes book every 2–3 weeks to keep it crisp, or every 3–4 weeks if you don't mind a softer grow-out. Straight hair tends to show grow-out faster than curly or thick hair.
