Skin fades in Glendale, AZ: what to ask for in the chair
How to ask for a skin fade at JayJ's Barber Shop on N 51st Ave in Glendale. Height, blend, and line-up notes — plus the $35 Squire price.
A skin fade is the cut most people mean when they search for a barber in Glendale, AZ. At JayJ's Barber Shop — 7408 N 51st Ave — it is a 30-minute service for $35. You can walk in any day from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM or lock a chair on Squire.
The useful part is not the name. It is telling the barber three things before the clippers start: how high the skin goes, how tight the blend is, and what you want on top.
Low, mid, or high
Low sits just above the ear. Mid starts around the temple. High opens more scalp. If you are unsure, start low. You can always go higher next visit. Bring a photo from our gallery or Instagram @jayjsbarbershop if you have a shape in mind.
Ask for the blend you actually wear to work or school — not the sharpest photo on your phone, unless that is the point.
Line-up and extras
A skin fade usually includes a shape-up. If you only need the edge later in the week, Edge Up / Line Up is 15 minutes for $14. Pairing a fade with a beard is the Haircut & Beard Trim combo: 45 minutes, $45.
Kids who want a fade fall under Kids Haircut (8th Grade & Under) at $30 if they are in that age range — say so when you book so the chair time is right.
How to book it
On Squire pick Skin Fade, then a barber or Any professional. If you are already in the lot off 51st Ave, walk in and ask for the next open chair. Call (623) 242-7909 if you want to know the wait.
