Your Questions About The Taper Fade Answered
How much does a taper fade cost and how long does it take?
Our Fade services, which cover every type of taper, start from $45. We set aside 40 to 50 minutes for each appointment. That gives us plenty of time for a proper chat and a precision cut, so we never have to rush. You’ll always know the final price before we start.
What's the difference between a low taper fade and a skin fade?
Think of a taper fade as a classic, clean finish around the edges that leaves more length. A skin fade gives you that high-contrast look by blending the hair right down to the skin. The best part about a taper is its range we can go low, mid, or high depending on your style. We’ll help you figure out what’s right for you.
How often should I get my taper fade touched up?
To keep those lines looking extra sharp, most of our regulars re-book every 3 to 4 weeks. But because we build the cut to last, it’ll still look good as it grows out, holding its shape for longer. It’s one of a few low-maintenance styles for men.
Is a taper fade a good professional or office-friendly haircut?
Absolutely. A taper fade is a timeless, versatile cut that’s always a sharp choice for any professional setting. Whether you go for a more conservative low taper or something a bit higher, the look is always clean and polished. It’s a classic for a reason.
Can you do a taper fade on my hair type?
Yes. We’re genuinely passionate about this. Our barbers are highly skilled with all hair types including Afro, Asian, and European. We have the experience to give you an amazing taper fade that works with your natural hair texture, not against it.
