Fade Prices
The fade is a standalone service. Our other cuts are booked separately.
How We Cut a Fade
- Consultation. Tell your barber how short you want the sides, where the fade should start and what you want on top.
- Clipper work. The sides and back are taken down and blended from the skin up into the length on top.
- Hot towel and razor neckline. The neckline is prepped with a hot towel and finished with a straight-razor shave.
- Finish. A sharp line-up, product through the top and a style before you leave the chair.
A skin fade usually takes about 45 minutes.

Fade Questions
How much is a skin fade?
$42 for the Zero / Skin Fade, which includes a hot towel and a straight-razor neckline shave.
How long does it take?
About 45 minutes.
Can I walk in for a fade?
Yes, walk-ins are welcome. We recommend an appointment so you are not waiting for a chair; booking online holds your time.
How often should I come back?
About every three weeks keeps a fade sharp.
What’s the difference between a skin fade and a taper?
A skin fade blends the hair all the way down to bare skin. A taper shortens gradually but leaves some length at the bottom.
