Skin Fade & Bald Fade Haircuts in Cypress
A skin fade takes the hair down to bare skin at the bottom and blends it upward with no visible jump between guards. It's the most technical cut we do and the one clients travel across Cypress for. You choose the height — low fade sits just above the ear, mid fade around the temple, high fade near the parietal ridge — and we match the top length to it.
Walk-ins welcome 7 days a week · Not happy? We fix it before you leave.

The process
How We Do The Skin Fade
Pick the height
We mark where the fade should start against your ear and temple.
Baseline
The bald section is taken down first so the blend has a true starting point.
Blend
Guards and clipper-over-comb work erase every line between skin and top length.
Line-up
Straight razor edges the front hairline, temples and neck.

FAQ
Skin Fade Questions
How long does a skin fade last?
It looks freshly cut for roughly two weeks and acceptable for four. Most skin fade clients rebook every two to three weeks.
Will a skin fade irritate my scalp?
Rarely. We finish with a hot towel, and if you're prone to razor bumps we can stop one guard above the skin instead.
Low, mid or high — which should I pick?
Round faces usually suit a mid or high fade; longer faces suit a low fade. Your barber will say which balances your head shape.
Can I get a fade with long hair on top?
Yes. A skin fade pairs well with anything from a crop to a longer quiff — we keep enough weight on top so the contrast looks intentional.
