Low taper fade, tried on your own face

Before: selfie prior to the low taper fade try-onAfter: low taper fade rendered on the same face by Lineup
Real Lineup render: same face, same lighting, only the hair changes.

The low taper fade keeps length on top and tapers the hair gradually just above the ears and neckline. It is the most requested cut in barbershops right now because it looks sharp without being as aggressive as a skin fade.

Because the taper sits low, it frames the face less dramatically than a mid or high fade, which makes it the safest fade to start with. The photo above is a real render from Lineup: same face, same lighting, new cut.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between a low taper fade and a regular fade?

A low taper only shortens the hair around the ears and neckline, while a full fade blends the whole side of the head down to the skin. The low taper is subtler and grows out more gracefully.

What should I ask my barber for?

Ask for a "low taper fade with texture on top". Showing your barber a photo of the cut on your own face removes the guesswork, which is exactly what Lineup renders.

How does the Lineup try-on work?

Upload one selfie, pick a style, and Lineup renders it on your own face in 5-15 seconds with identity-preserving AI: your face, skin tone, and expression stay exactly as they are. Your first render is free.

Is Lineup a subscription?

No. Lineup uses one-time credit packs starting at $2.99: 1 credit = 1 render, credits never expire, and there is no weekly fee, ever. A failed render never costs a credit.
