Let’s be real, a fade ain’t just a haircut. It’s a whole vibe. That clean blend, that sharp finish… it can change your whole look.
At Qs Barbershop Rotterdam, we’ve been doing this for years. We’ve seen every kind of fade walk through the door — low, mid, high, skin, you name it. And trust me, no two heads are ever the same.

So… what even is a fade?

Basically, it’s where your hair fades gradually from longer to shorter until it blends right into the skin.
Sounds simple, right? Nah. It’s all in the details — the pressure of the clipper, the blend line, the fade angle. You mess up one step, and you’ll see it. That’s why we take our time with it. Precision is everything.

Different Types of Fades (a.k.a. the line-up you should know)

1. Low Fade

Starts just above the ear, super clean, smooth finish, and it leaves more hair on top.
It’s the go-to for guys who want something sharp but not too loud. You can walk into a meeting or hit the club with this one, both work.

2. Mid Fade

Right in between chill and bold. It starts around the temples and gives that nice balanced look that just works on most people.
We do a ton of these at Qs. It’s kinda the “can’t go wrong” fade.

3. High Fade

Alright, now we’re talking. This one starts high up, near the temples or even higher, and gives that strong contrast.
It’s loud, it’s confident, and it looks fire when it’s fresh. You’ll catch people checking your fade out in the mirror behind you.

4. Skin Fade (a.k.a. Bald Fade)

This one goes all the way down to the skin. Nothing but clean.
The blend needs to be perfect, no lines, no steps, just smooth transition.
Our skin fades? Let’s just say, people come back every two weeks for a reason.

Which Fade Should You Get?

It really depends, your face shape, your hair type, even your job.
Some guys like that low fade because it grows out softer. Others want that high fade so it pops with a fresh beard lineup.
When you sit in the chair at Qs, we’ll check what suits you best. We don’t just cut hair, we shape your look.
