Finding Your Barber

What to Look For

  • Temple fade specialists: Check Instagram for crisp temple line examples
  • Taper fade experts: Look for smooth 3-4 guard transitions in portfolios
  • Certifications: Andis or Wahl certified barbers typically have advanced fading skills
  • Tools: Quality barbers use cordless clippers with sharp blades

Questions to Ask

  • "How many temple/taper fades do you perform weekly?" (Ideal: 20+)
  • "Can I see before/after photos of grow-out patterns?"
  • "What's your recommended maintenance schedule?"
  • "Do you use foil shavers for sharpest lines?" (Best for temple fades)

Geographic Trends

  • Urban areas: More temple fade specialists (NYC, LA, Chicago)
  • Suburban areas: Better for traditional taper fades
  • Barber schools: Atlanta, Houston, and Phoenix have top fade programs
