It's tough to find a trusted barber even for that simple fade. I try to stay away from chains. I finally found a cool, hip barber with mad (scissors and clippers) skills - in Las Vegas. He is also wicked good with the straight razor. Price is super reasonable as well for the care and detail he puts into cutting your hair.
It's worth the drive to Summerlin area for a cut. This shop is small with several chairs, but I like the vibe of this shop with the cool era nostalgia, props and decor.
