Prestige Barbers offers fade services from zero-guard skin fades to subtle low tapers. Our barbers use blending, feathering, and graduated hair lengths based on the requested style.
A true fade specialist understands seamless blending across different hair types, textures, and densities. At Prestige, our barbers focus on those techniques, and customers share current feedback on our public profiles.

Skin fades (bald fades), low fades, mid fades, high fades, taper fades, burst fades, drop fades, temple fades, shadow fades, and combination fades. Choose a subtle taper or a dramatic skin fade.
The difference between a good fade and a great fade is in the blending. A great fade has zero visible lines — the transition from short to long is so smooth it looks like a natural gradient. Our barbers achieve this by using multiple clipper guards in half-guard increments, flicking and rocking the clipper at precise angles, and finishing with detailer trimmers for razor-sharp edges.
Thick, dense hair requires more aggressive blending with tighter guard progressions. Fine hair needs a gentler approach with wider guard jumps to avoid over-cutting. Curly and coily textures demand specialized techniques that account for curl spring and density variation. Our barbers assess your hair type before starting and adjust their technique accordingly.
A fresh fade typically looks best for 1-2 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. Most of our fade clients visit every 2-3 weeks to maintain the clean look. Between visits, keep the neckline clean with a trimmer and use a light product to style the top. Avoid heavy products that make the fade line more visible as it grows out.
