View Men's Haircut Style CatalogueWhat This Service Is
A taper gradually shortens the hair around the ears and neckline while leaving length on top. It is a clean, versatile cut that works in any setting, from a professional office to a casual weekend. We shape it to your hairline and the style you already wear.
Our Approach
We listen to how you like it, then taper carefully around the ears and neck with steady, precise passes. We keep the transition smooth, shape the neckline, and finish with a crisp line up so the cut looks fresh and intentional.

Common Questions
What is the difference between a taper and a fade?
A taper shortens the hair gradually around the ears and neckline while keeping length on top. A fade takes the hair shorter, often down to the skin. We will help you pick the right one for your style.
Do I need an appointment?
No appointment needed. Walk in during open hours and the next available barber will take care of you.
Can I keep the length on top?
Absolutely. A taper keeps the length on top while cleaning up the sides and neck. Tell us how you like it and we will match it.
