The skin fade is the most-requested cut in Raleigh, and it's the one we're known for. A true skin fade blends the hair down to bare skin with no visible lines or patchiness - and it only looks right when the barber understands your hair texture and head shape.
At The Dominicans, our international team has been perfecting skin fades since 2006. Whether you want a low, mid, or high fade; a burst fade; a taper; or a drop fade, we'll match the blend to your style and finish it with a sharp lineup and hot towel detail.
Skin fades start at $40 and take about 30–45 minutes. Walk-ins are welcome, but booking ahead means you walk straight into a chair - especially on weekends when Raleigh is lining up for a fresh cut.
What Goes Into a Dominicans Skin Fade
Every skin fade starts with a consultation - we look at your hair type, growth pattern, and the style you're going for, then choose the fade height and blend that'll work best. From there it's clippers down to the skin, careful blending through the guard lengths, and a lineup that frames your face.
We finish with a hot towel to calm the skin, a neckline cleanup, and styling product suited to your hair. The result is a fade that looks sharp the day you leave and stays clean for two to three weeks.
Every Fade Style, One Chair
Low skin fade, mid skin fade, high skin fade, burst fade, drop fade, taper fade, bald fade - if it has 'fade' in the name, we do it. Bring a photo, describe it in English or Spanish, or just say 'make me look sharp' and we'll take it from there.
We also pair fades with any top style: textured crop, comb-over, pompadour, buzz, or a Dominican blowout finish.
