Fade vs. Scissor Cut: What’s Right for You?

Not sure what to ask for in the chair? Here's a simple breakdown of two of the most requested styles — and how to know which one's right for you.

Fade Haircuts

Fades are all about clean, gradual transitions. Whether it’s a low fade, mid fade, or skin fade, this style delivers a sharp, modern look that keeps things tight around the edges.

Scissor Cuts

Prefer something more textured or longer? A scissor cut allows for a more natural finish and more versatility — perfect if you like some movement or want a low-maintenance grow-out.

How to Choose

If you're after something defined and structured, a fade will give you that edge. If you want something softer or more custom, scissor work is your go-to. Still not sure? Ask your barber — we’ll walk you through it.
