A great fade deserves a great beard. At The Dominicans Barbershop, the beard trim and fade combo is one of our most popular services - a precision skin fade paired with a sculpted, lined, and conditioned beard that frames your face perfectly.
Our 24 barbers don't just trim beards - they sculpt them. We evaluate your face shape, beard density, and personal style to create a beard that complements your fade and enhances your overall look. Then we line it up sharp, condition it with professional products, and finish with a hot towel.
The beard trim and fade combo starts at $60 ($40 for the fade + $20 for the beard trim). We're at 3601 Capital Blvd, Raleigh, NC 27604. Open 7 days a week from 8:40 AM to 9:00 PM.
What's included in the beard trim & fade combo
Our beard trim and fade combo includes: Precision skin fade - hair blended to the skin with a sharp lineup, tailored to your head shape and hair type. Beard assessment - we evaluate your face shape, beard density, and desired style. Beard trim - clipper and/or scissor work to uniform length and shape. Beard lining - crisp definition of cheek lines, neck line, and mustache. Beard conditioning - professional oils and balms to soften and add shine. Hot towel finish - relaxing hot towel to open pores and soothe the skin.
The full combo takes about 45-60 minutes. You walk out with a fresh fade, a sculpted beard, and a look that stays sharp for weeks.
Want to add a hot towel shave for the neck and cheeks? Ask your barber - we can customize the service to exactly what you want.
Popular beard and fade styles in Raleigh
The most requested beard and fade combinations at our shop include: Skin fade + short boxed beard - clean, professional, and low-maintenance. Mid fade + medium beard - balanced and versatile, works for any occasion. High fade + full beard - bold contrast between tight sides and a full, sculpted beard. Taper fade + stubble beard - subtle and natural for a low-key look. Skin fade + beard with design - creative lines or patterns in the beard or sides.
Not sure which combo works for you? Your barber will assess your face shape, hair type, and beard growth pattern to recommend the best style. Bring a photo or describe what you want - we'll make it happen.
How to maintain your beard and fade
A skin fade stays crisp for 1-2 weeks. A sculpted beard maintains its shape for 2-4 weeks. To keep your combo looking fresh, we recommend coming back every 2 weeks for a touch-up ($15 for lineup, $20 for beard trim).
Between visits, use a good beard oil daily to keep the hair soft and the skin underneath hydrated. Comb or brush your beard regularly to train the hair direction. And avoid trimming it yourself - it's easy to ruin the shape your barber created.
For the fade, avoid touching the sides with clippers at home. If the lineup starts to fade, come in for a quick shape-up - it's only $15 and keeps you looking sharp between full cuts.
