Style created by our team in Japan.

Choosing between a skin fade and a taper? At HIROGINZA Sydney CBD, we use references to establish skin visibility, the area being shortened and the coverage you want to retain.

Compare the photographs

In a skin-fade reference, identify where the skin-visible section ends. In a taper reference, show whether short detailing is concentrated around the temples and nape. These visible boundaries communicate more than a label alone.

Discuss the connection

Do you want the top strongly separated from the sides or connected more softly? Show the back as well as the front, and explain if you wear your hair in different directions.

Our team can explain the intended outline before cutting and show the completed shape from several views during the final check.
