How to style a low taper fade?

Styling a low taper fade involves accentuating the clean lines and smooth gradient of the cut. Use a dime-sized amount of pomade or matte clay for hold and work it through damp or dry hair. Comb it for a sleek finish or use fingers for texture.

Do I need to book an appointment, or do you accept walk-ins?

We highly recommend booking an appointment to guarantee your preferred time and barber. Walk-ins are welcome when available, but slots fill quickly — especially evenings and weekends.

Fade Artist Barber Lounge

The Local Spot for Men Who Want to Look Sharp

Barrie is one of the best places to live in Ontario. Friendly neighbours and pleasant community activities aside, it is also where you can find the perfect man cave for all your grooming needs. In the same manner that this small town blends city life with rural living, Hair Salon Barrie combines traditional with modern hair and beard styling.

Traditionally, men go to a barbershop to have their hair cut short with a clipper. Nowadays, most people go to a hair salon, where a hair stylist cannot only cut short hair but also offer more services. The line between both types of shops is blurry, but one thing is clear. They are a sanctuary where you can relax and have a hairdresser take care of your hair and beard, making you look good.

Haircuts

From short to long hair and anything in between, our stylists can do it for you. If you prefer the traditional look, we can cut your hair short with a clipper, without the use of scissors. Perhaps you would like your hair cut using only shears, ask, and that is what we do. You even have the option of having your hair washed.

Shaving

Although you can choose to get shaved without a hot towel, we highly recommend that you do so. It is an incredibly comfortable shaving experience, so relaxing that many of our clients end up falling asleep. Getting clean-shaven using this method has its benefits. For one, a hot towel shave opens up your skin’s pores, making it easier to remove oil and dead skin. Also, it reduces skin irritation.

Beard Trims

Numerous studies have established that many women find well-groomed men more attractive. Instead of doing it yourself and going through the hassle, let our hair stylists do that for you. We can also help you choose the most appropriate style to make you look good, based on the shape of your face, and proceed to give you the best beard trim and line-up you’ve ever had.

Note: Each of our barbers sets their own rates based on demand, but we all share the same goal—offering fair pricing while delivering top-notch results you’ll love!
