The temp fade haircut, also known as the temple fade or Brooklyn fade, is one of the most popular types of fades for men. Along with the high skin fade haircut, modern temp fade styles offer guys the chance to experiment with a variation of the classic taper fade. Although temp fades were traditionally exclusively a fade for black men, the unique and stylish design has become a cool look offered by barbershops around the world.

What Is A Temp Fade?
The easiest way to explain a temp fade is to imagine a high skin fade with a shape up. Your barber will fade your hair up to your temples with a small clipper size, and then use a trimmer or razor to cut sharp edges into your hairline. This sharpness results in a clean and fresh line up that really highlights a man’s masculine cheeks and chiseled face.
Because of the detailed trimming required for temple fade haircuts, we highly recommend you get your haircut with an experienced barber. A talented stylist will make sure your temp fade flows perfectly with the rest of your cut.
