Low fade haircuts are dominating in 2025. They are a clean choice for any hair length or type, but not all fade cuts are the same. Struggle & Style offers the best fade haircuts in Vancouver.

Check out 15 cool low-fade haircuts that are currently trending:

1. Classic Low Fade

The classic low fade is perhaps the cleanest hairstyle for professionals. The fade begins just above the ear and narrows gradually to form an even transition between the longer top hair and shaved sides. This hairstyle goes well with short textured hair. 

2. Low Taper Fade

The taper fade is the most conservative fade, with the hair transitioning slowly into the skin without extreme contrast. It maintains the transition near the neckline and ears for a natural appearance. It's a wonderful choice for someone looking for a fashion-conscious yet easy-maintenance haircut.

3. Low Skin Fade

You can pick a low skin fade for a more dramatic appearance. The hair transitions entirely into the skin at the sides and back for a clean finish at the bottom. It is an edgy and contemporary style that suits wavy or curly hair.

4. Low Fade with Crop Top

It is an interesting combination of the famous French crop with a low fade. The hair on the top is trimmed short and textured with a messy appearance. The low fade gives a tidy finish while keeping attention on the top. 

5. Low Burst Fade

The low burst fade is a bold hairstyle that follows the natural curve of the ears to provide a rounded fade look. It maintains the fading focused lower on the head. Low-burst fades actually look great when paired with mohawks.

6. Low Fade with Side Part

A low fade with a side part is a good choice for those who prefer a clean and structured hairstyle. The defined part brings in the sophistication factor, while the fade makes it trendy. 

7. Low Fade with Waves

A low fade can really set off the texture for men with natural waves. It places the attention on the waves to make them appear more defined. A bit of styling cream can improve the curl pattern. 

8. Low Fade with Design

Want to try something unique? Add some designs to your fades. Your barber can shave in shapes and designs into the faded area for a customized look. It's a great way to showcase your personality. And the best part is that you can try something different each time you go to the salon.

9. Messy Low Fade

The messy low fade is yet another clean hairstyle for those who prefer a simple outlook. The barber leaves the top slightly uneven and textured whereas the sides are kept neat. It’s a great option for guys who want a low-maintenance style that looks cool.

10. Afro Low Fade

Afro low fade pairs a full top with a delicate fade on the sides. The barber will cut the afro to fit your face shape and blend the fade perfectly. It's a statement-making bold look that's ideal for men who want to celebrate their natural hair.

11. Spiky Low Fade

Want to give your look some extra height? Try out spiky low fade. Here, the top is trimmed short and styled into spikes with a strong-hold gel. The sides are faded low for contrast.

12. Low Drop Fade

When it comes to low drop fade, the fade slopes downward at the back of the head. This mimics the natural curve of the cranium. A low drop fade has a more striking contrast and is appropriate for men who desire an eye-catching cut.

13. Low Fade Buzz Cut

A buzz cut with a low fade is a good choice for busy professionals who don’t have much time for hair maintenance. The fade brings a bit of depth to give a clean look with contemporary vibes. You just need to trim it occasionally to keep it fresh. 

14. Low Fade with Pompadour

The combination of low fade with pompadour creates an interesting mix of retro and contemporary vibes. The sides are tapered neatly while the top is styled high and full of volume. You need professional products to hold the pompadour in position.

15. Low Fade with Faux Hawk

The faux hawk is a trendy and edgy haircut in which the hair is longer in the middle and gets progressively shorter towards the sides. A low fade takes this look up a notch by providing a crisp gradient that allows the eye to remain on the longer strip of hair in the middle. It's an awesome substitute for a full mohawk.

Trends come and go, yet the perfect cut is the one that suits your face shape and hair type. That’s why choosing the right cut is important.
