A crisp fade with a zigzag temple line

A high, textured top rises above closely faded sides, giving this haircut a clear contrast in both length and surface. On the visible side, a pale zigzag line cuts through the darker hair near the temple. Its angular path echoes the lifted, pointed strands above, bringing a graphic element into an otherwise familiar short-sided silhouette. The beard follows a precise outline, with a narrow mustache and a fuller lower section that frames the jaw. In the barbershop setting, the client is shown in profile while chairs, counters, and tools remain in the background. The busy room offers context without competing with the haircut. From the front hairline to the beard edge, the look relies on clean transitions and deliberate geometry.
