Every great haircut starts with the details, and nothing demands more precision than a fade. At Barberhood in Liberty Village, fades are not just a service. They are our signature. Our barbers have spent years perfecting the art of seamless blending, working with Wahl and Andis clippers to create transitions so smooth they look airbrushed.
“Precision fades with seamless blending. Skin fades, taper fades, drop fades, and burst fades.”
We offer every fade style you can think of. Skin fades that taper down to bare skin for the cleanest possible finish. Taper fades that keep a bit of length at the bottom for a more subtle look. Drop fades that arc behind the ear following your natural hairline. Burst fades that curve around the ear in a rounded, semi-circular shape. Low, mid, and high variations of each, depending on how dramatic you want the contrast.
What sets a Barberhood fade apart is the consultation. Before any clippers touch your hair, your barber sits down with you to discuss your face shape, hair texture, lifestyle, and the look you are going for. A round face benefits from a high fade that adds height and angles. A longer face looks best with a low or mid fade that keeps width at the sides. Curly and textured hair holds fades beautifully, but the blending technique needs to adapt to the curl pattern.
Peter, our founder with over 12 years of experience, built this shop on precision fades. Mike is known across Toronto for his skin fades. Oscar brings 8 years of clean fades and tapers, and Nick works confidently with every hair type and texture. Whether you are walking in from Queen West, commuting from Trinity Bellwoods, or live right here in the neighbourhood, you will leave with a fade that turns heads.

The best fade depends on your face shape and features. If you have a round face, a high fade adds height and creates the illusion of a longer face. Oval faces work well with almost any fade style. Square faces look great with a mid fade that softens the angles. During your consultation at Barberhood, your barber will assess your face shape, hairline, and hair texture to recommend the most flattering fade for you.
Most fades look their sharpest for about two weeks. We recommend booking a touch-up every 2 to 3 weeks to keep the blend clean and the lines crisp. Skin fades grow out faster than taper fades, so if you prefer a skin fade, leaning toward the 2-week mark will keep you looking fresh. At Barberhood, a fade starts at $40 and a lineup between visits starts at $25.
Absolutely. Curly and textured hair actually holds a fade longer than straight hair because the curl pattern disguises the grow-out. Our barbers adapt their blending technique for every hair type, using different guard sizes and blade angles to create a seamless transition through the curls. Peter, Mike, Oscar, and Nick have extensive experience with all hair textures, from tight coils to loose waves.
A taper gradually reduces hair length as it moves down the sides and back, but it never goes down to the skin. The shortest point still has visible hair. A fade takes that transition further, blending all the way down to bare skin (in a skin fade) or very close to it. At Barberhood, we offer both styles and everything in between. Your barber will help you decide based on how clean and sharp you want the finish.
We operate by appointment to give each client full attention. Book online; same-day and next-day slots are usually available.
