At Classic Barbershop, we specialize in precise, stylish fades that suit every face shape and lifestyle. Whether you prefer a subtle blend or a bold, high-contrast look, understanding the difference between low, mid, and high fades helps you choose the perfect style.
Located near Tatum & Cactus in Phoenix, our barbers are experts in modern and traditional men’s cuts combining artistry, attention to detail, and decades of experience.
What Is a Fade Haircut?
A fade gradually tapers your hair from longer on top to shorter on the sides and back, creating a clean, blended finish. The technique can be adjusted in height and intensity to match your personal style whether you want a professional, edgy, or low-maintenance look.
The Three Main Fade Types
1. Low Fade: Subtle & Sophisticated
The low fade starts just above the ears and curves neatly around the neckline. It’s ideal for those who want a refined appearance without too much contrast.
- Professional settings
- Men with longer hair on top
- Classic or side-part hairstyles
Pro Tip: Pair it with a beard fade for a seamless, polished transition.
2. Mid Fade: Balanced & Modern
The mid fade begins midway up the head, creating a balanced blend between bold and conservative. It’s one of the most popular fade styles at our Phoenix barbershop.
Best For:
- All hair types and face shapes
- Textured crops or pompadours
- Those who want a versatile, everyday style
Barber’s Note: The mid fade offers the perfect mix of professionalism and edge making it a go-to for 2025 trends.
3. High Fade: Bold & Clean
The high fade starts near the temples, leaving little hair on the sides for a sharp contrast. It’s a bold, attention-grabbing cut that highlights the top portion of your hair.
Best For:
- Shorter or curly hair
- High-impact, athletic looks
- Men who like crisp, defined lines
Pro Tip: Combine a high fade with a skin or bald fade for the cleanest finish.
Choosing the Right Fade for You
When deciding between low, mid, or high fades, consider your:
- Hair texture (straight, wavy, or curly)
- Face shape (round, square, oval, etc.)
- Maintenance preference (how often you visit the barber)
- Work environment (professional or casual)
Our expert barbers can recommend the best fade based on your style goals and grooming habits.
