What Is a Taper Haircut?

A taper is a haircut technique that gradually reduces the length of hair from the top down to the neckline and sideburns. Unlike a full fade, which may involve cutting down to the skin, a taper offers a more subtle transition that keeps some length at the edges.



Tapers are ideal for clients who want a clean and professional appearance that still allows room for personal styling on top. They’re versatile, timeless, and easy to maintain.

Types of Tapers We Offer

At Bery & Lorent Studio Salon, we customize every taper based on your individual preferences and the natural growth of your hair.

Low Taper

This subtle taper starts just above the ears and follows the neckline. Ideal for clients who prefer a conservative, clean-cut appearance that’s easy to blend with longer hair on top.


Mid Taper

Starting around the temple area, the mid taper offers more contrast while maintaining a classic shape. Great for modern business looks or polished street style.


High Taper

Beginning closer to the crown, a high taper delivers sharp contrast and a bold edge. Works well with short crops or textured top styles.


Taper Fade

A combination of taper and fade techniques for a sleek transition down to the skin. Provides a sharp, defined edge without fully shaving the sides.


Neck Taper

Focused on cleaning up the neckline while preserving most of the length on top and sides. Perfect for between-haircut cleanups or longer styles.

Taper Styling & Maintenance Tips

Taper haircuts are known for their versatility and low maintenance — but a few tips will help keep your look sharp between appointments:



  • Use a matte styling cream or pomade for texture and hold

  • Maintain edges and neckline every 2 to 3 weeks

  • Shampoo and condition regularly to promote healthy growth

  • Avoid heavy gels that weigh down short styles

  • Ask your stylist for tips on how to adjust your look as it grows out

Our stylists will recommend products that match your hair type and explain how to recreate your desired finish at home.
