Hello! Fade, Taper and Undercut are distinguished by the transition between longer and shorter hair:
- Fade has a clear, gradual transition that disappears into the skin (can be low, mid or high).
- Taper is more subtle, with a gentle transition around the neck and ears - elegant and discreet.
- Undercut has a sharp contrast - the top part is longer, and the sides are short without a gradual transition.

Dear Sir, I have a round face and naturally curly hair. I have a hard time finding a hairstyle that looks good on me and doesn't add even more volume to my face. What hairstyle do you recommend and can I come to you for a consultation?

Good day, I would like to grow my hair, but I am worried that it will not look neat during the growth. Is there a way to keep my hair looking neat while it's growing out, and how often should I get a haircut during that process?

Hi! I have a question for you – I had a fade done at your place a few days ago and my hair is great, but I'm wondering how to keep it looking fresh for as long as possible?
