Taper Fades in Little Ferry, NJ

A taper shortens the hair gradually at the sideburns and neckline only, leaving the rest of the sides fuller. It looks sharper than letting your hair grow out and more low-key than a full fade.

Taper or fade?

A fade blends the whole side of the head. A taper only cleans up the edges. If you want a softer outline that still looks fresh after a few weeks, go taper.

Who it suits

A taper works with almost any top because it only touches the edges.

  • Longer tops, curls, twists, and locs
  • Work and school settings where you want clean but not dramatic
  • Anyone who wants a cut that grows out without a hard line

How to ask for it

Say low taper (just the sideburns and neckline) or high taper (climbs a little higher), and whether you want it down to the skin or with a little length left. Then tell your barber how much to take off the top.

Questions, answered.

How much is a taper fade in Little Ferry, NJ?
It's booked as our Basic Haircut at $65, with facial hair and eyebrows included. Add a hot towel or black mask for $75, or both for $85.
Can I get a taper with long hair or locs?
Yes. A taper only works the sideburns and neckline, so the length you have on top stays.
How often should I get a taper touched up?
Every three to four weeks keeps the edges clean. Tapers grow out softer than skin fades.
