Bald Fade with Ice Pick Sideburns
An edgy, distinctive style featuring a complete bald fade with sharply pointed sideburns that taper to ice-pick points. The dramatic contrast between the clean-shaven head and precisely sculpted sideburns creates a bold, geometric aesthetic. Best suited for men with defined jawlines who want a head-turning look. Requires precise barbering and regular maintenance every 1-2 weeks to keep the points sharp. Works particularly well paired with a beard.

HISTORY_&_ORIGIN
Sharply pointed sideburns have appeared throughout history, from 19th century Victorian gentlemen to 1970s punk rockers. The ice pick variation represents an extreme, artistic interpretation popular in urban barbershops. When combined with bald fades, it creates a striking geometric contrast that's part classic, part avant-garde.
MAINTENANCE
High maintenance style requiring touch-ups every 1-2 weeks. The pointed sideburns grow out quickly and lose their sharp definition. Daily maintenance is minimal, but frequent barber visits are essential to maintain the look.
