TAPER: Noun.

A transition in thickness (i..e, hair length) from from longer to shorter.

A “taper fade” contours- and fades the back of the head and sideburns only (versus a regular “fade”, which fades all around the head)

You can also ask us for a “taper with NO fade” if you don’t want to show skin at the base of your neck and sideburns.

Recommended for:

-Clients who have thick hair that lays flat against the skin

-Clients looking to add a more flattering contour/shape to their head or hairstyle. (e.g., “Edgar cuts” require a taper, but not all taper fades are “Edgar cuts”)

NOT recommended for:

-Clients who want the shortest possible length of hair on the sides

-Clients with hair that sticks straight out from the skin

Price includes a scissor cut for hair on top.
