What is a Skin Fade vs. a Taper? A **skin fade** (or bald fade) gradually blends the hair from skin-short at the bottom up into your desired length at the top. This can be cut as a high, mid, or low fade depending on where you want the contrast line to start.

A **taper** gradually blends the hair at the sideburns and the back neck line only, leaving more length and weight around the rest of the sides. This is a softer, highly versatile look that grows out beautifully.

How Often Should You Visit? - **High-contrast skin fades & tight tapers:** Every 2 to 3 weeks to keep the skin contrast looking fresh and sharp. - **Classic scissor cuts & longer styles:** Every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain structure and weight distribution. - **Line-ups & quick clean-ups:** Every 1 to 2 weeks between full haircuts to keep your facial hair and hairline crisp.
