How it is cut
- Skin fades require careful blending because every line shows.
- Ask for a lower or higher starting point based on face shape.
Maintenance tips
- Expect the cleanest look for the first 7 to 10 days.
- Use balm if freshly faded skin gets irritated.
- Book frequent trims if you need the fade to stay sharp.
