Description

This classic, highly masculine, and sporty cut relies on absolute cleanness and contrast. The upper part of the hair is cut to a very short, compact length, while the fringe above the forehead is gently combed to the side and slightly lifted. The key element is the Mid Skin Fade – a medium-high clipper fade that starts from complete zero (skin) roughly at the midpoint of the temples and above the ears, from where it rises smoothly and with a perfectly clean transition into the top section.

Who is it for?

Ideal for men and athletes seeking a practical, low-maintenance style but wanting the option to style their fringe. A great choice for thick, coarse hair, it suits oval, square, or rectangular faces. Due to the skin fade, it requires a barber visit every 2 to 3 weeks.
