Skin Fade Maintenance Guide
How Long Does a Skin Fade Last?
Skin fades look best for about 1 week, then start growing out. Budget for cuts every 1-2 weeks if you want to keep it razor-sharp.
Maintenance Tips:
- Edge up your hairline at home with a trimmer between cuts
- Use quality styling products to maintain the look on top
- Book your next appointment before leaving the barbershop
- Consider a standing appointment for consistency
