What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • Skin fades require careful blending because every line shows.
  • Ask for a lower or higher starting point based on face shape.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • 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.
