A good skin fade is all about the blend, not just how short the sides go. We take the time to work the transition gradually rather than leaving a visible line between lengths.
Fades are worked to match whatever length you are keeping on top, whether a short crop or something long enough to style. We check the blend from a few angles before you leave the chair, not just in one mirror.
If you are new to fades and not sure how short to go, we would rather start conservative on a first visit and take more off next time than take too much off in one go.
