Classic Taper
A classic taper haircut is a bold and modern alternative to short pixie or bob haircuts. It adds volume and flatters any face shape. You can create different looks by adjusting the taper’s starting point and length. It works well with accessories like beards or quiffs. Taper cuts gradually change the size and can be styled with a comb-over or side-swept fringe. A texturized brush-up adds extra appeal.
Long Taper
Enhance a classic taper with skin or low fade on the sides and back for a smooth transition down to the neckline. This style is particularly suitable for women with curly natural hair, as it makes styling easier. Communicate your preference for a high taper with your stylist.
Short Taper
Get a sharply defined hairline without a full fade effect with a classic short taper. Communicate with your barber where you want the line to stop. This style can create an 80s look with the addition of pomade for a polished appearance. Regular maintenance is necessary, so bring in a desired shape image and inform your stylist of your preferred maintenance service.
Brush Up
Brush Up hairstyles feature medium-length locks styled upward and backward, while the sides and back are trimmed into a low or medium taper, bald fade, or undercut cuts. This look works well on natural hair with texture and can be enhanced with different waxes.
Scissor Crop
A scissor crop is a stand-out style that showcases natural texture. Medium-length hair is brushed back and styled in an eye-catching scissor crop, creating contrast for a head-turning look. This haircut features a high taper fade and a more extended crown, allowing customization. Provide specific instructions to your barber, such as preferring rough ears.
Long Taper with Beard
A skin taper haircut adds sophistication and can be paired with a stylish quiff. This look is ideal for maintaining sleekness throughout the day and can be easily maintained with regular trims and a wash-and-go routine. It pairs well with wide-brim hats for sun protection.
Long Taper with Sides
Combining the long top of a tapered haircut with a fade at the back and sides creates an eye-catching style. The even fade draws attention to the top hair, which can be styled side-parted or backslide for a polished finish. Customize the taper with your stylist for a pleasing outcome.
Tapered Mohawk
Try a spiky mohawk with a taper fade on the sides for a textured and stylish look. This haircut balances any slight balding and works well with curly natural hair. It is suitable for black women seeking a modern and professional look. The style features an all-over-one-level cut with parting and a sponged top for maximum styling potential.
