Simple, stylish and timeless. From its origins in the Golden Era of hip-hop to the versatile look it is today, the fade haircut is a staple style for men of the modern era. Taper, scissor, skin, faux-hawk – the list goes on and on when it comes to the evolution of this haircut. With so many variations stemming from the original hi-top fade way back in the 1980’s, it’s a style that can achieve any look from understated to bold.

Our standard fade or clipper cut service includes skin fades with an optional bay rum and moisturiser, plus a complimentary drink. This service is for basic fade work on the sides and back and does not cover complete restyling or scissor work.
This consultation covers any fades, tapers, scissor cuts and other styles that require scissor work. We’ll help you choose the best cut based on your lifestyle and hair type and will give you advice on styling products and techniques to procure the same look at home.
