Fades in Brooklyn
Brooklyn’s Destination for Clean, Balanced Fades
At Two Brothers Barbershop, fades are one of our signature specialties. Located in the heart of Brooklyn, we deliver fades that are smooth, symmetrical, and built to last. Whether you prefer a skin fade, a low fade, or a mid or high fade, our barbers craft each transition by hand—layer by layer—for a clean, natural result.
A proper fade isn’t rushed. It’s a technique of precision and patience, blending short to long in perfect proportion. Our clients return because they know they’ll leave with a fade that grows in evenly, feels comfortable, and looks sharp from every angle.
What Is a Fade Haircut?
A fade is a haircut where the length gradually decreases from the top of the head down to the neckline, creating a seamless transition. It requires steady clipper control, clean sectioning, and awareness of your hair’s growth direction.
Fades can be subtle or bold, depending on your style and head shape. The technique enhances your overall haircut—whether you’re going for a classic taper, a modern textured top, or a short military look.
At Two Brothers Barbershop, we don’t use shortcuts or templates. Every fade is custom-built to fit you.
Types of Fades We Offer
Skin Fade
A clean, bold look that blends down to bare skin. We fade from the scalp up into longer lengths, ensuring no harsh lines or steps. It’s crisp, professional, and works with nearly any hairstyle on top—from crew cuts to textured crops.
Low Fade
A subtle fade that starts just above the ear and gradually blends upward. This option keeps a more natural appearance while maintaining clean edges and a modern finish. It’s perfect for men who want a polished yet understated style.
Mid Fade
A balanced choice that begins between the temples and ears. The mid fade is versatile, offering the contrast of a high fade but the subtlety of a low fade. It’s ideal for most head shapes and hair textures.
High Fade
A sharp, high-contrast cut that starts near the temples and tapers down quickly. It creates a bold, defined look with strong lines and smooth gradients. The high fade pairs well with short, cropped styles or bold top lengths.
Taper Fade
A low-maintenance fade that focuses on the sideburns and neckline. It’s a great option for men who want a refined finish without losing much length elsewhere. The taper fade is clean, classic, and perfect for professional environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a fade haircut last?
Most fades look their best for two to three weeks before a touch-up or shape-up is recommended.
Are fades good for all hair types?
Yes. Fades work well with straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair. We adapt clipper speed and technique to each texture.
Do fades require special styling?
Not necessarily. We can recommend simple daily routines or light styling products to keep your fade fresh between visits.
What’s the difference between a taper and a fade?
A taper focuses only on the sideburns and neckline, while a fade blends the entire side and back of the head.
Can I combine a fade with another haircut?
Absolutely. Fades pair well with buzz cuts, crew cuts, pompadours, textured crops, and many other styles.
Maintaining Your Fade
To keep your fade sharp, schedule a touch-up every two to three weeks. Use a gentle shampoo and avoid over-washing to maintain scalp health and texture. If you wear hats often, give your hair time to breathe daily to preserve your fade’s clean shape.
We also offer quick tape-ups between visits to maintain edges and keep your fade looking tight longer.
