LOW FADE WITH BEARD - 45 min (30 Entries Allowed)

This competition features the every-day-cut that is all about precision. The low fade must be a true low fade and not a mid or high fade. The length on the top must be no lower than 3/16”, 4.78 mm, or no lower than a #3 guard. Transitioning from a “Triple 0 guard” or lower. It must be a clean transition. The model will be judged on the fade transitions, the shape up, the beard’s symmetry, and definition, as it related to the overall cut.
