What it is
Everything on the head buzzed down to a uniform shadow, with a low fade running out to skin behind the ear and around the nape so the outline stays sharp. The front hairline is edged straight across and the beard is the real feature, carved with a high cheek line and connected into the sideburn. Length overall is minimal, which puts all the shape into the two edges.
Who it suits
Works for any hair texture, including thinning or receding hair, since the buzz makes density irrelevant. A good option if you want the lowest possible upkeep on the head and would rather invest the time in a beard. Suits strong jawlines because the beard line does the framing.
How to ask for it
Ask for an all-over 1 with no guard change on top, then a low fade taken to skin from behind the ear around the nape. Set the fade line level with the ear opening. Edge the front hairline straight and carve the beard cheek line high, connecting sideburn to beard.
Upkeep
Run the clippers over the top yourself every ten days if you like. Get the fade and beard line redone every two weeks, since both go fuzzy quickly at this length.
