What is a Skin Fade?
A skin fade haircut (also called a bald fade) features the most dramatic transition of all fade types - from hair on top gradually blending down to completely bare skin on the sides and back. The fade is so seamless that it appears to vanish into the skin.
Popular with Woodside's diverse, trend-conscious community, skin fades create maximum visual impact and modern edge. This bold style works across all ages, professions, and hair types when executed by skilled barbers who understand proper blending techniques.
At DIDA NYC, we complete 700+ skin fades monthly, giving our barbers unmatched experience with the precise clipper work, seamless blending, and attention to detail that perfect skin fades demand.

What is a skin fade haircut?
A skin fade haircut features a seamless gradient from hair on top to bare skin on sides and back. Also called a bald fade, it creates the most dramatic contrast of all fade types. The transition is so gradual it appears to disappear into the skin, requiring expert blending technique and precision.
How much does a skin fade cost at DIDA NYC?
