BALD
FADE.

A timeless, liberating look that eliminates hair maintenance entirely. The clean-shaven head suits all face shapes and exudes confidence and masculinity. Maintenance involves regular shaving every 1-3 days, daily moisturizing, and SPF 30+ sunscreen protection. Style with a well-groomed beard for added dimension.

Originating from Southern U.S. barbershops in the early 2000s, the Burst Fade features a dramatic semicircular fade radiating outward from behind the ear like a sunburst. This medium-difficulty cut requires skilled blending and works best for men with curly or textured hair and round or oval faces. Style with light pomade to enhance natural texture; maintenance every 2-3 weeks recommended.

A sophisticated fade where the hairline "drops" behind the ears, creating an elegant curved silhouette. The seamless gradient blending makes this a versatile choice that suits oval, square, and round face shapes equally well. Perfect for professional settings requiring a polished appearance. Maintain every 2-3 weeks; style with matte clay or light pomade for a natural finish.

A harmonious style that seamlessly blends a drop fade into a full, well-groomed curly beard, creating a continuous flow from head to face. Popularized in urban barbershops, this look exudes masculinity and sophistication. Best for men with naturally curly hair and beards who want a cohesive look. Use beard oil daily and curl cream for definition; maintain fade every 2-3 weeks and beard trim every 1-2 weeks.

A refined skin fade that curves downward behind the ear, following the natural hairline for an elegant arc. This modern classic delivers maximum contrast between the skin-level sides and longer top, creating a clean yet contemporary silhouette. Suits most face shapes, particularly flattering for round and square faces. Requires touch-ups every 1-2 weeks to maintain the crisp skin line; style with pomade or matte clay.

A bold, high-impact style where the skin fade starts approximately 2 inches above the ear, creating dramatic contrast with messy, textured styling on top. The high placement elongates the face, making it particularly flattering for round faces while adding edge to any look. Popular among athletes and urban professionals. Style with texture clay for separation and movement; maintain every 1-2 weeks.

The most conservative of skin fades, beginning just above the ear for a subtle, professional-friendly transition. This versatile style works in corporate environments while still offering a modern edge. The soft transition suits all face shapes and can soften angular jawlines. Can stretch 3-4 weeks between barber visits compared to higher fades. Style with light pomade for a polished finish or texture powder for casual days.

A refined style combining a medium skin fade with the elegance of a natural hair parting. Unlike hard-lined parts, this softer approach follows your hair's natural growth pattern for an effortlessly polished look. Perfect for professional settings and classic style enthusiasts. Suits oval and oblong face shapes well. Style with light pomade or styling cream; comb while damp for best definition. Maintain every 2-3 weeks.
