Barely There Fade
The most understated fade option, with such gradual transitions that the haircut appears almost natural, as if the hair simply grows that way. Ideal for conservative corporate environments, traditional settings, or men who prefer subtle grooming. The very gentle gradient suits all face shapes and requires minimal styling. This low-maintenance cut can last 4-6 weeks between barber visits. Style with minimal product or none at all.

HISTORY_&_ORIGIN
This ultra-conservative approach represents traditional barbering at its most subtle, harking back to pre-fade era when haircuts aimed to enhance natural hair growth patterns rather than create dramatic contrasts. It appeals to men who want well-groomed hair that doesn't look "done" or styled, embodying understated elegance.
MAINTENANCE
The ultimate low-maintenance cut. The gradual transition means regrowth is virtually invisible, allowing 4-6 weeks between barber visits. Daily styling is optional - many men wear this cut completely product-free. A simple comb-through after showering is sufficient.
