Save your favorite style, then book a cut with Mateo Strang Barbershop in Meridian, just minutes from downtown Boise.

Low Fade

Clean and subtle, a low fade drops just above the ear. Perfect for sharp outlines with a natural top finish. Pairs with textured crops, pompadours, or side parts.

Mid Fade

A balanced choice that adds structure without going too high. Works with straight, wavy, or thick hair.

High Fade

Bold and athletic, a high fade removes bulk on the sides and spotlights the top. Ideal for defined curls or short textured looks.

Skin Fade (Bald Fade)

Razor-close sides blended to skin for crisp contrast. Modern, sharp, and always in style.

Burst Fade

Tapers around the ear in a circular “burst.” Great with mohawks, faux hawks, or curly tops.

Drop Fade

The fade line “drops” behind the ear, following your head shape for a custom contour.

How to Pick the Right Fade for Your Face Shape

• Round → High or skin fade adds height.

• Oval → Mid fade keeps balance.

• Square → Low fade softens angles.

• Heart → Drop fade adds fullness at the sides.

Maintenance Tips

Book every 2–3 weeks to keep edges clean.
Use a matte clay for texture or light pomade for sheen.
Brush daily to maintain the blend.
