Fade
Mid Taper
The taper starts higher, around the temple, so you get more shape than a low taper without committing to a fade. A good middle step if you want definition but keep being told fades are too harsh on you.

What to say
Ask for it like this.
Barbers work from instructions, not vibes. These are the three things that decide whether you get this cut or something adjacent to it.
- Ask for a mid taper starting at the temple.
- Say you want the sides tapered, not faded to skin.
- Ask for the corners softened if you have a square jaw.
