Description

This minimalist, sporty, and highly functional men's cut relies on maximum sharpness and cleanness. The dominant element is the High Skin Fade – an uncompromisingly high fade with clippers that starts from complete zero (skin) and rises high above the temple area. The hair on top of the head is cut into a very short, compact texture that gently falls forward and follows the shape of the skull. This fierce look is perfectly balanced by clean stubble lines along the cheekbones.

Who is it for?

Created for men and athletes wanting a zero-maintenance style with no morning prep. A great choice for thick, coarse hair. It looks best on those with a symmetrical head shape and an oval or square face. Due to the high fade, it requires a barber visit every 2 weeks to stay sharp.
