What is a mid fade?

The mid fade is the most versatile fade height. It sits halfway up the side of the head, giving you a noticeable blend without the dramatic look of a high fade.

It's the default choice for clients who want something modern that still works at the office, and it pairs with almost any top: crops, pompadours, curls, twists or a short buzz.
