Shaun Fade

The Story

Thirteen years of reading heads.

Shaun has been cutting hair for over thirteen years — long enough that reading a head shape, a growth pattern or a receding temple stopped being something he thinks about and became something he just sees.

Tattooing came next, and it sharpened something different: needle depth, line consistency, and the patience to work the same small area for hours without drifting.

Scalp micropigmentation sits exactly where those two things meet. It needs a barber's eye for where a hairline belongs on a particular face, and a tattooist's hand to put thousands of individual impressions into skin at a consistent depth. Most practitioners come from one side or the other. Shaun came from both.

That's why the SMP work is the core of the practice now — and why it's still done out of a barbershop in Metairie rather than a clinic.
