Just read a study on how many guys actually ask for a skin fade

I was looking at some numbers from a barber survey site called Shear Stats yesterday. They said over 60% of men under 30 request some version of a skin fade now. I had no idea it was that high, it feels like every other chair in my shop is doing one. Makes me wonder if we should all be practicing our fade game even more. What's the most common cut you guys are seeing walk through the door these days?

Notice any difference in how they ask for it?

That 60% number is wild. Are you seeing the same trend with older guys, like over 40?

My buddy's dad is pushing 50 and just got ghosted after three dates, blair_webb. The over-40 crowd isn't safe either, they're just better at hiding the pain behind talk about lawn care and their fantasy football picks. Saw a guy at the diner the other day staring at his phone for ten minutes waiting for a text back. It's a universal crisis, just with different coping mechanisms.
