Men's Haircut

Men's fade is a haircut that gradually shortens in length from the top of the head down to the sides and back, often blending smoothly from a longer length at the top to a much shorter length or even the skin (a "zero") on the sides and back. The fade can vary in length and style, creating different effects. There are several common types of fades:

1. Low Fade The fade starts just above the ears and gradually blends downward. It’s a more subtle look.
2. Mid Fade The fade starts higher, typically around the temple area, offering a balanced, more pronounced fade effect.
3. High Fade  The fade starts much higher, usually above the temples, creating a more dramatic contrast between the top and sides.
4. Skin Fade (or Bald Fade)  The fade blends all the way down to the skin, often making it appear as though the hair disappears as it moves down the sides and back.
5. Taper Fade Similar to the fade, but typically a more gradual and subtle

By booking both services together, you can streamline your grooming routine, get a cohesive look, and often enjoy a discount compared to booking the services separately.

Beard Trim

a buzz cut is a very short, uniform haircut that is typically achieved using clippers with one or two different guard numbers. The guard numbers refer to the length of the hair left after trimming.

Guard Numbers: The number corresponds to the length of the hair left after cutting. For example:
A #1 guard leaves hair about 1/8 inch (3 mm) long.
A #2 guard leaves hair about 1/4 inch (6 mm) long.
A #3 guard leaves hair about 3/8 inch (10 mm) long, and so on.
Buzz cuts are often very low-maintenance, and the style can be customized by using different guard lengths for the top, sides, and back. For example, a #2 guard on the top and a #1 guard on the sides creates a simple, clean look. Some variations of buzz cuts, like the induction cut, use very short guards for a clean, close shave all over.
