Low Fade
Medium maintenance

Low Fade

The fade starts just above the ear, keeping more hair overall for a subtle, professional finish. The most conservative fade option — ideal for corporate settings.

What to Tell Your Barber

“Give me a low fade — start the skin or #0 just above the ear and blend up about an inch and a half. Leave the top 3-4 inches. I want it clean and professional, not too dramatic.”
