A barber for textured and curly hair
Textured, curly and coarse hair is one of our strengths, and it’s a big reason clients drive down from Malibu. We understand how it grows and cut it right, from clean skin fades and fresh tapers to sharp razor line-ups and straight-razor beard trims.
How it works
How we cut your fade
Every fade and taper is cut in three steps, starting with a conversation about your hair.
The consultation
We talk through how your hair grows, how it lays and how you wear it day to day.
The fade
We set the height and blend to suit your head shape, so it keeps looking good as it grows out.
The finish
We sharpen the edges with a razor line-up, and you leave knowing how to style it yourself.
Fade or taper
What’s the difference between a fade and a taper?
A fade takes the sides and back down short, often to the skin, and blends up into the length on top. A taper keeps more length on the sides and shortens gradually at the sideburns and neckline, so it grows out softer. Book either one as a Gentlemen’s Haircut, and if you’re not sure which suits you, we’ll work it out together in the consultation.

Is there a barber for textured hair near Santa Monica or Malibu?
Yes, we’re in Venice Beach, CA, just south of Santa Monica, and textured, curly and coarse hair is one of our strengths. It’s a big reason clients drive down from Malibu for their skin fades, tapers and razor line-ups.
Should I go short or keep some length?
It depends on how your hair grows and how you style it, and we’ll tell you straight which makes more sense for your hair. A taper keeps more length on the sides, while a skin fade gives you the cleanest, shortest finish. Bring a photo if you have a look in mind.
