At The Land of Sunshine 88, we specialize in curly haircuts that are tailored to suit your look.

Let’s explore the differences so you can choose the best taper fade for your hair.

What is a Taper Fade?

A taper fade is a seamless transition from longer hair on top to shorter hair on the sides and back. The difference between a low, mid, and high taper fade is where the fade starts and how much contrast it creates. Each option offers a fresh, clean look while keeping your curls in focus.

• Best for: A softer, low-maintenance look.

• Fade starts: Just above the ears and nape.

• Why choose it?

  • Maintains length on top for full, defined curls.

  • Offers a natural, laid-back finish.

  • Easy to grow out and maintain.

Mid Taper Fade: Balanced & Versatile

• Best for: A clean yet stylish look with moderate contrast.

• Why choose it?
