Fade Specialist in Surry Hills
I take fades seriously. Every fade I do is built from scratch, no guard-and-go. I use a combination of clipper-over-comb and freehand techniques I picked up across salons in Paris and Sydney. Whether you want something clean and corporate or sharp and creative, I’ll get the blend right.
Skin Fade
Taken down to the skin at the sides and back, blended seamlessly into length on top. Clean, sharp, low-maintenance.
Taper Fade
A more gradual transition. Works well if you want something professional that still has edge.
Drop Fade
The fade line drops behind the ear, following the natural curve of the head. Great for textured or curly hair on top.
Mid Fade
Starts halfway up. The sweet spot between a skin fade and a taper, versatile and suits most face shapes.
Burst Fade
Radiates around the ear in a curved line. Pairs well with mohawks, mullets, or longer styles on top.
Not Just Fades
Fades are what people ask for most, but I’ve been cutting men’s hair for two decades. If you want a classic scissor cut, a textured crop, a French crop, or something you saw on Instagram and want to try, bring it in. I’ll tell you if it’ll work with your hair, and if it won’t, I’ll suggest something better.

Why Come to Samir for Your Cut
Not a barber shop. Not a salon chain. Just a French-trained hairdresser who takes the time to get it right.
My French training emphasised precision, shape and how hair moves. I bring that attention to every men’s cut, whether it is a skin fade or a classic scissor cut.
You get one person, me, from the first consultation to the final detail. No handoffs, no juniors finishing your cut.
Men's Cuts: Quick Answers
How often should I get my fade redone?
Most fades look their best for two to three weeks. If you like it razor sharp, come in every fortnight; if you're happy for it to soften, every three to four weeks is fine.
Can I add a beard trim to my cut?
Yes — add a beard trim when you book and I'll shape it to match the cut. You can select both services in one booking.
Do you cut kids' hair?
Yes, boys and girls cuts are on the menu. I'm patient with first haircuts — bring them in.
Do I need to book or can I walk in?
Walk-ins work when the chair is free, but Wednesday to Friday fills up. Booking online takes a minute and guarantees your time.
