Low Fade
A subtle blend that starts low around the ears and neckline. Clean and professional while keeping more length up top. The most versatile fade for work and everyday style.
Every Type of Fade, Done Right
Not sure which fade is you? Here's a visual guide to the styles our Denver barbers cut every day.
Mid Fade
The crowd favorite. The fade begins around the temples for a balanced, modern look that flatters every face shape. Pairs perfectly with textured crops and pompadours.
High Fade
A bold, high-contrast fade that climbs quickly for a sharp, statement finish. Looks incredible with beards and defined tops. Our most requested fade for a fresh, edgy look.
Taper Fade
A softer, classic gradient around the ears and neck that keeps length everywhere else. The most timeless option — clean without being dramatic.
Drop Fade
The fade arcs down behind the ear, following the natural curve of the head. Ideal for curly and textured hair, giving a rounded, contoured finish.
Burst Fade
A semicircle fade that bursts around the ear, popular with mohawks and mullets. A creative, high-detail fade for clients who want something distinctive.
