FRESH FADE: Why Every Guy Needs a Skin Fade This Summer

Summer in York is about making statements — and your haircut should be no exception. The skin fade has taken over the men’s grooming scene for one simple reason: it never goes out of style. Sharp, smooth, and effortlessly cool, this cut is built for men who want to stay fresh no matter the season.

At YFB HQ, located in York City Centre, we perfect the art of the skin fade. Whether you want a low, mid, or high fade, we tailor the blend to suit your face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle. We’re not about one-size-fits-all cuts. We’re about personalised barbering that brings out your best.


A good fade does more than clean up your sides — it defines your whole look. The tight taper gradually blends into longer hair on top, giving you flexibility to style it slick, messy, curly, or cropped. It’s the ideal cut for both professional sharpness and weekend swagger.

Bonus: fades are low-maintenance, meaning fewer touch-ups and more time looking fresh between appointments.
