How to Cut a Taper Haircut | Easy Clipper Method And Scissor Cutting Walkthrough

Hey everyone, Michael here! With 25 years of barbering experience under my belt, in this tutorial I'm walking you through how to create a clean, classic taper fade for a sharp, professional look. I start off with basic clipper work using a simple curving "C motion" around the base of the neck to set up a smooth weight line, and then use scissor-over-comb techniques to seamlessly blend the sides into the top while keeping the ears and fringe protected. Next, we'll keep enough length on top so the hair can sweep back naturally, trim away any damaged ends, and use a high-speed hair dryer before doing a quick dry "polishing" pass with scissors and detail trimmers to really make that taper pop. To wrap it up, I'll show you how to take away any fluffiness and style it using a little bit of wax pomade worked through with a wide-tooth comb or just your fingers for a sleek finish
