Fade, Taper, or Crop? How to Find the Cut That Fits You

Stepping into a barbershop without knowing what cut to get can be overwhelming —we get it. But that’s where we come in. At MensPlace, it’s not just about sitting in the chair and getting a trim — it’s about understanding your personal style, your routine, and the shape that works best for your face and hair type.
Let’s break it down:
- Fade: Clean, modern, and sharp. Perfect for guys who like a crisp finish with a bit of edge.
- Taper: More classic and low-maintenance, it blends gradually and grows out naturally.
- Textured Crop: Great for thick or wavy hair — shorter sides, longer top, and full of style.
Whether you prefer subtle and timeless or trendy and bold, we’ll help you choose a look that feels like you. Every great haircut starts with a conversation — and we’re always down to chat.
