A fade is judged on one thing: whether you can see where it changes. Jose's Barber Shop is the place people on the Northwest Side come for that blend — low, mid, high, taper or straight down to the skin, with the guard line worked out until it disappears into the length above it.
Fades are the service José is asked for most often, and the reason regulars come back on a schedule rather than when they remember. Bring a photo or bring a rough idea; the shape gets set at the start, checked in the mirror as it goes, and finished with a line-up so the edges are as sharp as the blend. If you're searching for a fade barber near you in 60641, this is a four-minute walk from the Six Corners shopping district.
