Mid Fade

The mid fade starts the gradient about halfway up the head, creating a clean and balanced transition. It's versatile enough to pair with almost any style on top.

What to Tell Your Barber

I'd like a mid fade — start the fade about halfway up, skin or #0 at the bottom, blending up to a #3 at the mid point. Leave about 3-4 inches on top so I can style it back or to the side.

Maintenance Tips

  • Get a cleanup every 2-3 weeks to keep the fade sharp
  • Use a light pomade or cream for hold without stiffness
  • The fade grows out faster than the top — don't wait too long between cuts

Styling Tips

  • Blow dry the top back and slightly to one side for volume
  • Use a medium-hold pomade for a natural, movable finish
  • For a sleeker look, use a fine-tooth comb while drying
