Fades and tapers

Short sides that blend into a longer top: the cuts most asked for at the barber.

Low fade

The sides fade from skin to short low around the ears, with more length on top. Clean, and easy to grow out.

High skin fade

Skin at the sides up to the temples, with a short top. Sharp, and it needs a trim every two or three weeks.

Try it on →

Taper fade

A gentle taper at the neckline and around the ears that keeps the rest natural. The most office-friendly fade.

Before you see your barber

Show your barber a photo of yourself with the cut. It explains the length on top, the fade and the fringe better than a photo of someone else.

Your beard stays as it is: only the hair on your head changes. The preview works best when your hair in the photo is close to the length you want, so long styles from short hair come out shorter than they would really grow.

Thinking about a new color too? Try it with the AI hair color changer. For women’s cuts, see hairstyle ideas for women.

Frequently asked questions

Still have a question? Visit the help center →

What hairstyle looks best on men?

It depends on your face and your hair. A fade with a textured top suits most faces, a quiff or a pompadour adds height, and longer hair softens a square jaw. The surest way to know is to try a few on your own photo.

What is the 3-2-1 haircut rule?

It is barber shorthand for clipper guards in a fade: a number 3 at the top of the sides, a 2 in the middle and a 1 at the bottom, for a soft blend. Barbers use it a little differently, so show your barber a photo too.

Which men’s haircut is easiest to maintain?

A buzz cut, a crew cut or a French crop: they need little styling and look neat as they grow. Fades look sharpest with a trim every few weeks.

Can I try a haircut on my own photo before the barber?

Yes. Press “Try it on” on any idea: the AI hairstyle changer opens with that cut, you add your photo and you see the result in under 20 seconds. It is free to try, with no sign-up.

Does it work if I have a beard?

Yes. Your beard, face and expression stay as they are; only the hair on your head changes.

Can it make my hair longer?

It works best when your hair in the photo is close to the length you want. From short hair, long styles usually come out shorter than they would really grow.
