Fade for CBD & Warehouse District
A fade is a technical taper cut where the hair is blended from a longer length on top down to a very short — sometimes skin-level — finish at the sides and back. Done right, it's one of the most versatile cuts available: professional enough for a boardroom, clean enough for a night out in the Arts District. The blend is everything — no visible lines between guard lengths, smooth transitions, and a razor-finished edge at the neckline. CBD professionals often opt for a low or mid fade to keep things conservative on top while still having a noticeably sharp silhouette.
- Low and mid fades ideal for professional settings in the CBD
- High skin fades available for clients who want maximum contrast and a bold look
- Straight razor neckline and ear cleanup on every fade service
- Consistent results across hair types — natural, relaxed, straight, wavy
- Accessible from the CBD and Warehouse District without a cross-city trip
- Appointments available to fit around a professional schedule

"Top notch. Sharon and Carl are very skilled. If you’re a young person and you want your haircut high and tight with a fade, they’re the best. Or if you just get an old school “make it shorter”, they’re the best. They are also very nice and hospitable. You’ll make friends and you’ll be impressed by…"
"Sharon and Carl are pros. They’ve been cutting hair for decades and know all the professional tools: hot towels, straight razor, bad jokes, and — above all — super friendly service. Old school: call for an appointment but they will always do their best to squeeze you in. If you’re a tourist in New…"
FAQ
Fade in CBD & Warehouse District — common questions
Is a fade appropriate for a professional environment in the CBD?
Absolutely. A low or mid fade is one of the cleanest, most polished cuts you can get — it's sharp without being flashy. Many attorneys, finance professionals, and executives in the CBD wear fades daily.
Can I get a fade and a beard trim in one visit?
Yes — combining a fade with a beard trim or lineup is common and makes sense if you want your whole look dialed in at once. Let the shop know when you book so they can allocate the right amount of time.
How do I keep my fade looking sharp between visits?
A good edge-up at home with a trimmer can extend the life of the cut by a week or so. Your barber can walk you through what to touch up and what to leave alone so you don't accidentally ruin the blend.
What if I've never had a fade before?
First-time fade clients are welcome — just tell your barber it's your first time and what you're going for. They'll walk you through the options and make sure you understand what you're getting before any clippers come out.
