What Is Fade Haircut?
A fade haircut gradually transitions hair from a close or skin-level cut at the sides and back up to longer length on top, using clippers with multiple guards blended together seamlessly.

Skin Fade Request
Clients wanting the tightest possible gradient where the sides taper completely down to bare skin near the temples and neck.
Fade with Design
Men who want a sharp fade paired with a cut-in line, part, or geometric design added by razor or clippers at the hairline.
Curly Top with Fade
Popular Brooklyn style pairing a tight fade base with defined, longer curls or a sponge-finish texture kept on top.
Our Fade Haircut Process
Style Consultation
Barber confirms the fade level - skin, low, mid, or high - and where you want the top length left, ensuring a clear shared vision.
Rough Cut and Length Removal
Starting guards remove bulk from the sides and back while the top length is set before the detailed blending work begins.
Blending and Gradient Work
Multiple guard sizes are used in overlapping passes to create a smooth, seamless transition with no visible lines between lengths.
Detail Work and Edge-Up
Clippers and a straight razor clean the hairline, sideburns, and neck, and optional designs or hard parts are added at this stage.
Fade Haircut - Frequently Asked Questions
The numbers refer to where on the head the gradual blend begins. A low fade starts just above the ear and neck. A mid fade begins around the temple. A high fade starts near the top of the head, leaving very little length on the sides overall.
Most clients find a fade looks its best for the first ten to fourteen days. After two to three weeks, the gradient softens as the hair grows. Many Brooklyn clients book a quick touch-up every two weeks to keep the skin or low fade crisp and defined.
Absolutely. Dense and coarse hair actually holds a fade shape very well once the blend is executed correctly. Our barbers adjust guard tension, blending technique, and finishing approach specifically for thicker textures, which are common throughout Brooklyn.
Yes. Every fade at Heritage includes a clean edge-up along the hairline, sideburns, and neck using a straight razor. We do not treat the edge-up as a separate charge - it is considered a standard part of completing any fade properly.
