Men's Haircut Guide
The men's haircuts we do every day at Fade Barber Taksim: Low Fade, Skin Fade, Taper, French Crop, Buzz Cut, Pompadour and more.
The Sides & Back
How short the sides go and where the fade starts.
- Classic / Scissor Cut: Cut entirely with scissors. No skin showing, very natural look.
- Taper: A gradual trim only at the sideburns and the nape of the neck. The hairline around the ear (the arch) remains intact.
- Fade: A transition where the hair is faded down to bare skin. The hairline around the ear is removed (blended into the skin).
- Undercut: No fade or blend. Disconnected short sides with long hair on top.
Popular Top Styles
- Buzz Cut: Uniformly short all over (e.g., #3 guard).
- Crew Cut: Modern military style, slightly longer at the front.
- French Crop: Short back and sides with a textured, forward-fringed top.
- Quiff: The front is brushed upward and backward to create volume.
- Pompadour: Classic, high-volume style swept back (Elvis style).
- Slick Back: Combed flat and straight back.
- Side Part: Classic gentleman's cut with a defined parting line.
Fade vs. Taper Comparison
Main Distinction: Taper vs. Fade
The two cuts customers mix up the most.
Low, Mid or High Fade?
It depends on where the fade starts on the side of the head.
| Cut | How It Looks |
|---|---|
| Low Fade | The transition starts just above the ear. Keeps the neckline low. The safest option to maintain the head shape. |
| Mid Fade | The most balanced look. The transition starts at temple height. Suits almost all head shapes. |
| High Fade | The transition starts very high, near the top corner of the head. The sides are mostly skin. A bold, sharp look. |
| Low Taper | Only the very tip of the sideburns and the bottom of the neckline are cleaned up. A very subtle transition. |
| Mid Taper | The fade extends up to the middle of the sideburns. |
| High Taper | The sideburns and neckline are faded high up, but there is still hair above the ear (the arch is visible). |

Do you do beard trims and shaves?

What is the difference between a taper and a fade?
A taper takes only the sideburns and the neckline down to the skin and keeps the hairline around the ear. A fade blends the whole line around the ear down to the skin, which gives a sharper, more modern look.
