Ember Low Fade
The gradient begins low above the ear and stays there. Conservative from the front, unmistakably barbered from the side.

Why it
works
A low fade is the most under-rated shape in the archive because it keeps its work below eye level. From the front you read weight and shape; from the side you read a clean ramp from skin to length that never touches the parietal ridge.
It suits people who need their hair to behave in formal rooms but still want something built rather than trimmed. It also grows out kindly — the blend softens rather than shelves.
We cut the Ember with clipper-over-comb for the first two guards, then take the blend to scissor work so the transition never looks machine-made.

A guide, not a rule. Bone structure matters more than the outline of your face, and that is what the consultation is for.
Styling approach
- 01
Blow-dry the top back and slightly across before any product.
- 02
Cream for control, clay for shape — in that order, never together on wet hair.
- 03
Book a three-week neck-and-edge tidy between full cuts.
