What Types of Fades Can You Ask For?
Not every fade has to look the same.
Depending on your hair, style, and preferences, your barber may recommend a different fade height or approach.
A low fade begins closer to the ears and neckline. It can provide a clean, subtle transition while leaving more length on the sides.
A mid fade begins higher and can create more contrast between the top and sides. It's a versatile option that works with many hairstyles.
A high fade creates a stronger contrast by beginning the transition higher on the head. It can produce a sharper, more dramatic appearance.
A skin fade gradually blends the hair down very close to the skin for a crisp, clean finish.
NY Style Kutz currently lists skin fades among its barbering services and describes them as detailed fades with precision blending.
A taper concentrates the transition around areas such as the temples and neckline while maintaining more hair elsewhere.
Not sure which one you need?
That's part of the barber consultation.
Bring a picture if you have one, explain the look you're trying to achieve, and let your barber help determine which approach works with your hair.

Your Hair Texture Matters
A good fade isn't one-size-fits-all.
Hair texture, density, curl pattern, growth direction, head shape, hairline, and the length you want to keep on top can all influence the finished cut.
That's one reason communicating with your barber matters.
Rather than simply saying, “Give me a fade,” talk about how high you want the fade, how much hair you want removed, what you want done with the top, and whether you want your beard incorporated into the finished look.
And if you don't know the terminology?
That's okay.
Show your barber the look you're trying to achieve.

Don't Forget the Lineup and Beard
A great fade can be the centerpiece of the haircut, but the finishing details complete the look.
A crisp lineup can define the edges of the haircut, while professional beard grooming can create a more cohesive transition from the haircut to facial hair.
NY Style Kutz offers both shape-ups and beard grooming in addition to its haircut and skin-fade services.
