Types of Fades We Offer at 37st

We specialize in six signature fade styles, each tailored to match your face shape, hair type, and personal look.

1. Low Fade

Subtle and sleek, the low fade begins just above the ear and gradually blends downward. It keeps the top length while giving the sides a clean taper.

Best For:

• First-timers

• Professionals

• Receding hairlines

• Longer styles on top

Pairs Well With:
Textured crops, side parts, slick-backs, pompadours

2. Mid Fade

Starts at the temples for a balanced look that works with nearly every face shape. It’s the “just right” fade—noticeable, but not too bold.

Best For:

• Oval or diamond faces

• Structured looks

• Men who want versatility

Pairs Well With:
Quiffs, slick backs, textured crops, pompadours

3. High Fade

For maximum contrast and a bold statement. Starts high on the head and drops fast. Great for guys who want attention up top.

Best For:

• Angular features

• Long face shapes

• Thick hair

Pairs Well With:
Pompadours, textured crops, quiffs, slick-backs

4. Skin Fade (Bald Fade)

A high-impact fade that blends right down to the skin. Clean, modern, and razor-sharp.

Best For:

• Clean-cut professionals

• Athletes

• Guys who want the freshest possible look

Pairs Well With:
Comb-overs, crops, slick-backs, pompadours

5. Drop Fade

This one follows the curve of your head, “dropping” behind the ear for a smooth, contour-hugging shape. It’s modern and a little more unique.

Best For:

• Defined cheekbones

• Strong jawlines

• Clients who want something a little different

Pairs Well With:
Pompadours, quiffs, longer styles, textured crops

6. Taper Fade

Classic and clean, the taper fade keeps more length on the sides and gradually blends down. It’s the most subtle fade—and one of the most timeless.

Best For:

• Professionals

• Low-maintenance gents

• Men who prefer a more traditional cut

Pairs Well With:
Side parts, pompadours, textured crops, slick backs
