Choose Taper If

You want subtle cleanup, softer growth, and less frequent appointments.

Tapers suit clients who prefer a cleaner neckline without dramatic side contrast.

Choose Fade If

You want sharper shape and stronger visual contrast around the head profile.

Fades are ideal for clients happy to maintain the cut on a tighter schedule.
