What is a low fade?
If you want the clean look of a fade without dramatic contrast, the low fade is the place to start. The blend sits low on the head, just above the ear and following the natural hairline around the back.
Because so much length remains on the sides, low fades pair well with longer tops, side parts and slick-backs. You can finish it at a short guard or take it down to skin (a low skin fade).

Low Fade FAQs
Is a low fade noticeable?
It's the most subtle fade. From the front it often isn't visible at all; it shows from the side and back.
Can a low fade go to skin?
Yes, ask for a low skin fade and we'll blend it down to bare skin.
Low fade vs. taper — which should I get?
A taper only touches the edges; a low fade blends a strip around the whole head. Choose a low fade for a bit more definition.
What goes well on top of a low fade?
Side parts, quiffs, slick-backs, curls and textured crops all work.
