Fades have come to define contemporary men’s hair. So much so that they’re pretty much the default setting whenever a barber approaches a short haircut. They come in many shapes and forms – taper fades, high fades, low fades and drop fades to name a few – but the skin fade (also sometimes called a ‘bald fade’) is the most visually dramatic.
With its surgical precision and razor-sharp detail, it’s the perfect way to bring classic cuts up to date and can be added to any short or mid-length style you could think of.
