Fade Haircuts in Mountain View, CA
A fade shortens the hair gradually from the top down to the sides and back, so there is no hard line where the length changes. It is one of the most requested men's haircuts, and it comes in several heights: skin, low, mid, high and drop.

Popular With
- Men who want clean, short sides with length left on top
- Anyone who wants a sharp look that works with a beard
