Many barbering quarters, barbershops and hair salons offer these types of haircuts and services today.

Barbershops are sometimes better at giving a fade haircut, but many hair salons today can give a pretty decent fade, just take the picture of the haircut and show it to the stylist or barber.



There are different types of fade haircuts. The skin fades or bald fades, low fade, half fade, and also fade haircuts using much larger clipper cutting guides such a number two or three, sometimes even a number four guard is used on the sides. Various clipper cutting techniques can also be used to achieve these results. There are free hand blending techniques, scissor over comb, clipper over comb, and techniques using the clipper guards, which today are the most popular techniques used by barbers to fade hair.

As trendy as the fade haircut is, it can also be worn in a more conservative way. This haircut can also be worn with a business suit, but for a more professional look, is best to square off the back of this haircut. This gives the fade haircut more professional look, and works well when wearing a suit.

There are a few different techniques to outline the back section of the fade haircut. You can blend out the neckline, this is great for people whose neckline is sensitive and irritates easily, and it gives the haircut a trendier look. You can also round off the back of the neckline, this is also very popular, or you can square the back of the neckline for that more professional look.

You can use the same fade technique to create various types of haircuts, such as the popular blowout, otherwise called the brook or taper fade. Use the fade techniques to create different designs and dimensions within a single haircut. When you master the fade or the techniques used to perfect this technique, you can do almost anything with the hair clippers.
