East Village Barbershop • $52 Package
Fade and Beard Trim Combo in the East Village, NYC: $52 Package
A fade of your choice and a beard shaped to sit with it, by the same barber in the same sitting. One chair, one visit, the whole head done.
The Combo
One Chair, One Visit, the Whole Head Done
A fade and a beard are two halves of one look, and getting them cut on different days by different people is how the halves stop matching. The fade and beard trim combo at B & H Barber Shop is the shop's answer: a fade of your choice, a beard shaped and lined to sit with it, by the same barber in the same sitting, for a published $52. That is $32 for the fade and $18 for the beard trim done separately, bundled and finished together. This page explains what the package includes, which fades it covers, how a beard is trimmed to match a fade, how long it takes, how often to book it and what to say in the chair.
Quick Answer
The fade and beard trim combo at B & H Barber Shop, 60 Avenue A, New York, NY 10009 is a published $52 package: any fade (low, mid, high, taper or skin fade) plus a full beard trim with a shaped cheek line, neckline and length reduction, done by one barber in a single visit of about 40 to 50 minutes. Walk-ins are welcome and booking is available online. The shop is open Monday to Thursday 9:30 am to 7:30 pm, Friday 9:30 am to 4 pm and Sunday 10 am to 7 pm, closed Saturday. Call (646) 896-1090.
Included
What the $52 Package Includes
The Fade
Any fade on the menu. The shop's fade work is described in full on the fade haircuts in East Village NYC page, and the combo covers all of it:
A low fade starts just above the ear and the neckline and blends up a short distance, keeping most of the side length. A mid fade starts around the temple and is the most common request in the shop. A high fade starts near the parietal ridge, the widest part of the head, and leaves only the top. A taper fade is the most conservative: a short, gradual blend at the sideburns and neckline only, with the sides left fuller. A skin fade, covered on its own skin fade in East Village NYC page, takes the bottom of any of those down to bare skin with a foil shaver or razor before blending up.
The top is cut to go with it: clippers at a guard length, scissors for a textured or longer top, or left as is if only the sides need work. A hard part or a lineup at the hairline is included in the fade if asked.
The Beard Trim
The full beard service described on the beard trim in East Village NYC page:
- Length taken down with clippers or scissors to the length you want
- A cheek line defined and shaved clean above it
- A neckline set and shaved below it
- The mustache trimmed off the lip
- Stray hairs removed and the whole beard shaped so the outline matches the fade on the sides of the head
- A hot towel and a finish with oil or balm to close it out
What Is Not Included
A full straight-razor shave is a separate service at $32, or $65 with a haircut as the haircut and shave package. Hair color and gray blending are separate. The royal shave is priced on request.
The combo is a fade and a beard; anything beyond that is added at the posted price.
The Reason
Why a Fade and a Beard Should Be Cut Together
A fade is a gradient that runs from skin or stubble at the bottom to full length at the top. A beard is a second gradient, running the other way, from full length at the chin up to the cheek line. Where the two meet, at the sideburn and the temple, there is a transition that only works if one person cuts both sides of it in one sitting. The sideburn has to taper into the beard at the same length and angle the fade tapers into the hair. The cheek line has to be set at a height that suits the fade height; a high fade with a low, full cheek line looks lopsided, a low fade with a high cheek line looks sparse.
Cut separately, on different days or by different barbers, that transition is guesswork. Cut together, the barber adjusts both as he goes: a half-inch more off the beard length to balance a high skin fade, the cheek line dropped an eighth of an inch to meet a low fade. That is the practical reason the combo exists, beyond the $52 price. The result is a single shape instead of two.
Step By Step
How the Visit Goes
The whole visit runs about 40 to 50 minutes: a fade is a 20 to 30 minute cut and a beard trim adds 15 to 20.
01
The Questions
The barber asks three questions: how high the fade, how low the bottom (skin, a #0.5, a #1) and how much off the top. Then one for the beard: how much length to take and how high to set the cheek line. If you do not know, say so; "clean it up and keep the shape" is a complete instruction, and so is a photo.
02
The Fade First
The fade is cut first, sides and back with clippers and guards working up from the lowest length, blended with a comb and open clippers or a trimmer, the bottom taken to skin if that is the fade. The top is cut and blended into the sides. The lineup at the hairline and sideburn is done with a trimmer or razor.
03
Then the Beard
With the fade as the reference: bulk reduced with clippers over a guard or scissors over a comb, the cheek line set and shaved, the neckline set a finger or two above the Adam's apple and shaved, the mustache trimmed, the sideburn transition matched to the fade.
04
The Finish
Hot towel, product, mirror check, done. About 40 to 50 minutes from the chair to the door, with both halves of the look cut by the same hand in the same sitting.
Pricing
Prices and How the Combo Compares

Full menu on the services page. For context, published skin fade prices at other East Village and Lower East Side shops in 2026 run from about $40 to $47, before a beard, and a fade and beard pairing in the Lower East Side is listed at $55 at one shop. A $52 combo in Manhattan that includes a full beard shape is on the affordable end of the market, and the price is posted, which is rarer than it should be.
Clients
Who Books the Combo
The bearded regular on a schedule, mostly: the client who wears a mid or high fade with a defined beard, comes in every two to three weeks and wants both done in one stop. Also the client with a new beard who has never had it shaped and wants a barber to set the lines the first time, which is the single visit that makes a beard look intentional. Also the Sunday client, since the shop is open Sunday 10 am to 7 pm and closed Saturday, and a 45-minute combo on a Sunday afternoon is the East Village's most efficient grooming errand. And the groom, the interviewee and the headshot client, for whom a matched fade and beard on the morning of is the point.
Pairings
Which Fade Goes With Which Beard
The pairing is not a rule, but there are combinations the barbers in the shop reach for because they balance.
Skin Fade With a Short, Tight Beard
The sharpest version. The sides go to bare skin, the beard is taken to a quarter inch or less and the cheek line is shaved high and crisp. The skin at the temple and the skin above the cheek line read as one surface, so the transition is nearly invisible. This is the combo for the client who wants the look to be obviously fresh; it is also the one that needs the most frequent upkeep, every two weeks.
Mid Fade With a Medium Beard
The most common request in the shop and the most forgiving. A mid fade that starts around the temple, a beard at half an inch to an inch with a natural but cleaned cheek line and a defined neckline. It grows out evenly over three weeks and looks intentional at every point of that growth.
Low Fade or Taper With a Full Beard
The conservative version, and the one that suits an office. A low fade or taper keeps weight on the sides, which balances a fuller beard at an inch or more. The cheek line is cleaned but left where it naturally sits, the neckline is set and shaved, and the length is shaped rather than reduced. Three to four weeks between visits.
High Fade With a Shaped Beard
A high fade leaves only the top and reads as a lot of skin, so the beard has to carry weight: shaped, defined and a little fuller at the chin to anchor the face. The barber will often take the sideburn almost to nothing where the fade and beard meet so the two gradients do not compete. This is the combo most likely to need a barber's judgment rather than a client's instruction, and the reason to have both cut by the same hand.
New Beards
The First Beard Trim
A beard that has never been shaped is the single most rewarding thing a barber can do in fifteen minutes. Most new beards have three problems: the cheek line creeps too high and uneven, the neckline is either not set at all or set too high on the jaw so the beard looks like a chin strap, and the length is uneven because the hair grows at different rates on the cheeks and the chin. A first trim sets all three. The cheek line goes where the beard is naturally dense, the neckline goes a finger or two above the Adam's apple where the jaw meets the neck, and the length is evened so the shape reads as a decision.
Paired with a fade, the result on a first visit is the difference between a beard that is growing and a beard that is worn. The shop sees a lot of these in the week before a wedding, an interview or a headshot, and the advice is the same each time: come in a day or two before, not the morning of, so the lines have a day to settle.
In The Chair
How Often to Book It & What to Ask For
How Often to Book It
Every two to three weeks for a skin or high fade with a defined beard; a skin fade loses its bottom line in about two weeks and a cheek line grows soft in about the same. Every three to four weeks for a low or taper fade with a fuller beard, which both grow out more forgivingly.
Booking the combo on that cadence keeps the two halves growing out together rather than one running ahead of the other, which is the thing a client notices in the mirror at week three when the beard was done a week before the fade.
What to Ask For
For the fade: "mid skin fade, number two on top" is the most common request in the shop. "Low taper, leave the sides" is the conservative version. "High skin fade, lineup" is the sharpest.
For the beard: "take a quarter inch off, clean up the cheeks, natural neckline" covers most beards. "Tight and shaped" means short and defined. "Just line it up" means no length off, only the edges.
If the terms are unfamiliar, the shop's taper vs fade vs skin fade guide explains the three fade words that are most often confused.
Compare
Fade and Beard Trim vs Haircut and Beard Trim
Both packages are $52, and the difference is the cut on top of the head.
Fade & Beard Trim — $52
Replaces the haircut with a fade: sides blended down to a short guard or to skin, paired with the same beard service. If you wear your sides short and want a visible gradient, the fade combo is the one.
Haircut & Beard Trim — $52
Pairs a regular scissor or clipper men's haircut, with the sides tapered but not faded, with the same beard service. If you wear a more classic cut with the sides left fuller and only a clean taper at the ears and neck, the haircut combo is the one.
Both are the same price, the same visit length and the same beard. If you are unsure, say "fade or regular, whichever suits my beard" and the barber will choose.
B & H Barber Shop
Why This Shop for the Combo
Fifteen Years of Fades on Avenue A
Fifteen years on Avenue A means a shop that cuts fades all day, every day, in a neighborhood where the fade is the default haircut. Volume is what makes a fade barber: the blend, the line, the judgment of where to start a fade on a particular head shape, all of it comes from repetition. The beard side benefits the same way; the shop trims beards on most of the fades it cuts, so the sideburn transition is a thing the barbers do dozens of times a week rather than something they reason through.
Add the posted $52 price, Sunday hours and walk-ins, and the combo is the shop's most practical service for the East Village's bearded majority.
Keeping It Between Visits
A fade grows out from the bottom, so the first thing to go is the skin line at the neckline and around the ears. A trimmer at home can hold the neckline for a week but will not re-blend a fade; leave the blend to the barber. A beard holds better with a comb and a few drops of oil daily, a balm if it is long enough to need shape, and no home trimming of the cheek line, which is the line most often ruined by a bathroom mirror.
The shop sells a small range of grooming products, listed on the products page, for exactly this.
Est. 2008
The Shop
B & H Barber Shop has been at 60 Avenue A, between East 4th and 5th Streets in the East Village, for over fifteen years, under owner Joseph, known in the shop as Dr. Joseph. It is a traditional men's barber shop: clippers, scissors, straight razors, hot towels, posted prices and walk-ins. The about page tells the shop's story and the barber shop in East Village NYC 10009 page covers the neighborhood. Clients come from across the East Village and Alphabet City and from the West Village and Greenwich Village to the west; the shop's own line is that the walk east is worth it.
Before You Book
Honest Notes
- The combo is a fade and a beard trim, not a fade and a shave; a full razor shave of the face is the $65 haircut and shave package.
- The shop is closed Saturday, so the weekend slot is Sunday.
- A combo on a Sunday afternoon as a walk-in may mean a wait, so book online for a guaranteed time.
- The barber will tell you if a beard is too thin or patchy for a particular shape; a good beard trim is sometimes a shorter beard than the client walked in wanting.
