The Hooligans standard by the numbers
We skip the sales pitch and focus on facts. Every head is different, but here’s what you can expect every time you sit in our chair.
Your Booked Time, Respected
A high fade gets a proper slot, so the blend is never squeezed in. We’re appointment-only and do our best to keep you on schedule.
Designed To Grow Out Well
We blend high up the head with structure, so the fade softens evenly as it grows. No awkward shelf line after a week.
Average Google Review Rating
Our rating comes from one thing, consistency. We listen and deliver the cut you asked for.
A High Fade That Stays Sharp
Time for the Blend
Our Fade service is booked at 40 to 45 mins. That's real time for a seamless blend, not a rushed one.
A Clean Grow-Out
Our work is blended to grow out clean. It keeps your look tight between visits.
The Mirror Check
We check it with you from every angle before you leave. Anything that needs a tweak gets sorted on the spot.
Leave Bad High Fades in the Past
A great fade looks effortless, but a bad one is impossible to hide. With a high fade, more of the blend is on show.
You leave with visible, chunky lines because the barber rushed the blend. On a high fade, there’s nowhere to hide them.
The barber doesn’t look at your head shape, so the fade sits too high or uneven side to side. It just feels off.
A poorly blended high fade looks like a train wreck after a week. It sends you back to the shop way earlier than it should.
It's Not You, It's the Lack of Skill
If that sounds familiar, the problem isn’t your hair. It’s barbers who rush the job and miss the details. We got fed up with seeing good blokes get bad fades, so we built a shop that does things differently.
A Bold, Modern Look That's Easy to Maintain
A high fade gives you strong contrast between the sides and the top. It’s sharp, modern and needs no styling on the sides. We tailor the height so it suits your head shape and whatever you’ve got up top.
Your fade is a perfect fit if you’re:
For the bloke who wants a sharp, high-contrast style.
For the bloke who wants to look sharp without the fuss.
For the bloke fed up with uneven, harsh lines.
For the bloke showing off a crop, quiff or slick back.
Where Quality Always Comes First
We built this space for good cuts and even better chats. Quality comes before quantity, so you’re never rushed out the door. Every high fade gets an expert’s touch.
Build Your Perfect High Fade Haircut
Every head is different. These are the core high fade styles we dial in for your hair, head shape and top.
High Skin Fade
The blend starts high around the temples and goes right down to the skin. It’s the boldest, sharpest version with maximum contrast. It’s best kept fresh with regular visits.
- Starts high on the head
- Down to bare skin
- Maximum contrast
- Needs regular upkeep
High Taper
A high taper starts just as high but leaves a little length at the bottom instead of skin. It’s a cleaner, softer take that grows out more gently. A great middle ground.
- High starting point
- Leaves short stubble
- Softer finish
- Gentler grow-out
High Fade With a Textured Top
We pair the high fade with a crop, quiff or textured top cut with scissors. The contrast makes the top stand out. Tell us what you’re after and we’ll shape it to suit.
- Fade plus styled top
- Crop, quiff or slick back
- Scissor-cut texture
- Shaped to your head

Your High Fade Haircut Questions, Answered
If your question isn’t here, give us a call on 0426 693 033.
What is a high fade haircut?
A high fade is where the blend starts high on the head, around the temples or the top of the sides. It gives strong contrast with the top and a bold, modern look. It can go down to the skin or stop at a short taper.
How much is a high fade haircut and how long does it take?
Book our Fade service, from $60. It covers skin fades and tapers and takes about 40 to 45 mins. Add your beard with Fade & Beard, from $70.
What's the difference between a high fade and a high taper?
A high fade usually blends right down to the skin. A high taper starts in the same spot but leaves a little length at the bottom, so it’s softer and grows out more gently.
How often will I need a touch-up?
To keep a high fade looking fresh, most clients come back every 2 to 3 weeks. With the blend sitting this high, grow-out shows sooner than on a low fade.
Can you do a high fade on thick or curly hair?
Yes. Our team works with every hair type, including thick, curly, Afro and Asian hair. We adjust our technique to your texture so the blend stays clean.
What if I'm not sure what height to go?
That’s what the consultation is for. We’ll talk through high, mid and low based on your head shape and style. If high isn’t right for you, we’ll tell you.
