They sound similar but they're different cuts. Here's how to pick the right one for your look and your lifestyle.
A skin fade blends all the way down to bare skin at the sides and back. It's high-contrast, very sharp, and makes whatever you've got on top pop.
A taper keeps some length low on the sides and around the neckline. It's subtler, more conservative, and grows out cleaner.
Want bold and sharp, and don't mind coming in every week or two? Skin fade. Want clean-but-professional that lasts longer between cuts? Taper. Still unsure? A low or mid fade splits the difference.
