About the course

The fade is the most requested cut in modern barbering, and the one that separates good barbers from great ones. This workshop takes you through every stage, from set-up to the final blend.

You practise on live models with an experienced barber beside you, so you can correct your angle, pressure and guard choice as you go and leave with fades you are proud of.
