When asking for a taper fade, it’s all about clear communication. As a barber, I often ask follow-up questions to ensure clients get exactly the look they want, whether it’s a low, mid, or high taper fade.

If you’ve got curly or textured hair, we can easily adapt the taper to enhance your natural waves or coils. It’s always best to know what you’re aiming for, but don’t hesitate to ask for guidance—we’re here to make sure you leave with a sharp, tailored cut!

When milling or drilling, or creating a tool path for a CNC machine the feed rate must be determined. Materials have rated surface speeds for a given type of cutter. The harder the material the slower the speed. Given the diameter of the tool and the surface speed, the RPMs of the spindle can be calculated. Then if the tooth load for the cutter is know, and the number of teeth, the feed rate can be determined.

Tapering is a barbering technique that changes hair from one length to another. When it reaches the skin to blend in with it, the hair actually disappears or "fades." Tapering is so common in barbering that you will likely get one even if you don't ask for it.

Tapering can be achieved with thinning scissors and clippers. Both are usually needed to create a sharp and neat look without uneven lines or rough spots.

The low-level taper fade is ideal for beginners who don't like carrying a drastic fade where a large area above the ears is faded to show scalp skin.

If you want a low-maintenance haircut that will forgive a missed appointment or two at the barbershop, ask for a tapered neckline. A tapered neckline follows your natural neckline until it fades.

With a mid-taper fade, you get a defined line that goes about half an inch above and behind the ears. The barber will use the clippers to decide which is the most flattering length.
