I’ve always been intrigued by the sharpness and masterful blending of a fresh fade. It is a subtle art form that is a significant part of the community and culture I grew up in.    
But the barber’s artistry extends beyond the hairline, the barber is a visionary helping men of color reimagine themselves more fully. A fade is more than a self-expression. It is a boost of confidence, a fresh perspective, a new beginning.
