Hey everyone!

I’m thinking of getting a taper fade, but I’m a bit unsure about how short to go. I want something clean and fresh, but not too drastic. I’ve seen some guys go short on the sides and back, and others keep it a bit longer.

What’s the best length for a taper fade if you’re looking for a subtle, yet stylish look? Any advice on how short is too short, or how to tell your barber exactly what you want?

Appreciate your thoughts!

Thanks!

Hey! For a subtle, stylish taper fade, I’d recommend keeping the sides at a #2 or #3 guard length, which gives a clean look without being too short. This length blends well into the longer top, creating a smooth transition. If you want to keep it even more natural, ask your barber to start the fade higher up (around the temples) rather than low near your ears, so the fade isn’t too drastic.

For a balanced haircut, just let your barber know you want a "low to medium" taper. Be clear about how much length you want on top, and communicate if you prefer a more gradual fade or something with a sharper contrast.
