Fade Haircut Charlotte NC | Viking Barber Studio

What's included

Every fade includes the full service

Every fade haircut at Viking Barber Studio is a complete service — not just a quick taper. Your barber spends a full 40 minutes making sure the lines are sharp, the blend is seamless, and your style is finished properly.

Included in the $40 price: consultation about your face shape and hair type, the fade itself (low, mid, high, skin or bald — your choice), neckline and sideburn line-up, hot-towel finish, light styling product, and a clean send-off. No surprise add-ons.

Six ways to wear a fade

Not sure which one is right for you? Your barber will recommend the best fit based on your face shape and hair type. Here are the most-requested styles in Charlotte:

Low fade

Starts just above the ear. Subtle, work-ready, professional. Most popular with Charlotte's Uptown corporate clientele.

Mid fade

Starts at the temple. The most balanced option — great for round faces and the most universally flattering.

High fade

Starts above the temple. Emphasizes length on top — best for pompadours, textured curls, and bold styles.

Skin fade

Tapers all the way down to skin. Maximum contrast, sharpest look. Requires more frequent visits to maintain.

Taper fade

A subtle fade only around the ears and neckline. Keeps more length overall — clean look without a dramatic blend.

Drop fade

Curves down behind the ear instead of straight across. Modern and stylish — pairs well with longer hair on top.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

How often should I get a fade haircut in Charlotte?

Most clients keep a fresh fade by visiting every 2 to 3 weeks. The sharper you like the lines, the shorter the gap. Past 4 weeks the taper starts to grow out and the contrast disappears. If you work in Uptown Charlotte's corporate scene, every 2 weeks keeps you camera-ready.

What's the difference between a low, mid, and high fade?

A low fade starts just above the ear and stays subtle — work-ready, professional. A mid fade starts at the temple, the most balanced option and great for round faces. A high fade starts above the temple and emphasizes length on top — best for textured styles, curls, or pompadours.
