Choosing the Right Fade: Skin, Drop, or Burst?

Asking for a 'fade' is just the beginning. The style of fade dictates the entire shape of your haircut.

The Skin Fade

Also known as a bald fade, this cuts the hair right down to the skin at the lowest point. It offers the highest contrast and a very sharp, modern look.

The Drop Fade

This fade drops behind the ear, creating a smooth arc. It leaves more weight at the back of the head, perfect for those wanting a less aggressive, more classic silhouette.

The Burst Fade

Tapering only around the ear to create a circular 'burst' effect, this leaves the neckline long. It pairs excellently with mullets or mohawks.
