The Fade You Didn't Ask For

You said no fade, but the clippers went high and short anyway. Now you’re stuck growing it back.

Bulky, Uneven Scissor Work

The sides puff out over the ears and the back goes heavy. A rushed scissor cut shows every mistake as it grows.

Build Your Perfect No Fade Haircut

Every head is different. These are the core options we use to build your no fade cut, dialled in for your hair and your routine.

Classic Short Back and Sides

Clipper sides and back at one clean length, blended into a scissor-cut top. It’s the traditional look, sharp and simple. Book this one as a Men’s Cut.

  • One even length on sides
  • Clean, blended top
  • Smart and professional
  • Quick to maintain

Full Scissor Cut

Cut all over with scissors for a softer, more natural finish. It’s perfect if you want length on the sides or have hair that sits better without clippers. Book this as a Scissor Cut.

  • Scissors all over
  • Soft, natural shape
  • Keeps length on the sides
  • Great for thick hair

Classic Cut With a Tapered Neckline

We keep the sides at length but taper the neckline and around the ears for a cleaner edge. You get a tidy finish without a fade. It’s our go-to for blokes who want neat but not short.

  • Length kept on the sides
  • Tapered neckline
  • Tidy around the ears
  • No skin, no fade lines
Our 4-step process

How We Get Your No Fade Haircut Right

No guesswork. Here’s the plan every time you sit in our chair.

The Plan

First up, we talk. We figure out the exact length and shape you're after and confirm there's no fade before we touch a thing.

The Shape

We set the length on the sides and back with clippers or scissors, depending on your cut. This is the foundation that decides how it grows out.

The Craft

We blend the sides into the top with clean scissor-over-comb work and take out bulk where it builds up. Then we tidy the neckline and around the ears.

The Finish

We style it and show you a few simple tricks to keep it fresh at home. We check it with you in the mirror before you leave the chair.

Your No Fade Haircut Questions, Answered

If your question isn’t here, give us a call on 0426 693 033.

What exactly is a no fade haircut?

It’s a cut where the sides and back keep some length instead of blending down to the skin. Think a traditional short back and sides or a full scissor cut. It looks clean and grows out softer than a fade.

A classic clipper and scissor cut is booked as a Men’s Cut, from $50, and takes 30 to 35 mins. If you want scissors all over, book a Scissor Cut, from $60, which takes about 50 mins.

A scissor cut uses scissors for the whole cut, which gives a softer, more natural finish and suits longer sides. A clipper cut is quicker and gives a more even, uniform length. We’ll recommend whichever suits your hair.

Most regulars rebook every 3 to 4 weeks. Because we build the cut to grow out well, it still looks good if you push it out a bit longer.

Absolutely. It’s the definition of a clean, professional look. It’s smart and tidy without being too trendy.

Yep. Our barbers are skilled with Afro, Asian, European, thick and fine hair. We adapt our technique to your texture and density so the shape sits right.
