About Fade Away
On Woodward Ave in Highland Park, Fade Away is a barber shop that runs on a walk-in basis, with multiple barbers working chairs and seats usually open for waiting customers. Some barbers take clients by appointment only. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays. Payment expectations follow the usual barbershop norm of tipping after a cut. The atmosphere is casual, with barbers and patrons talking freely while chairs turn over.

Customer Review Summary
Haircuts for kids and family are what reviewers return to most. One parent has brought a son for nine years and says he gets praise for his cut, and another has had the same barber cutting a boy's hair for two years. A husband gets exactly what he asks for, a first-time client gets a quick consult before a nice cut, and a father and son were both taken without fuss. Several call the workers friendly and the prices fair, and one compares the shop to the barbershop movie with its interesting mix of people. The recurring caveat is conduct. One reviewer reports barbers talking about the cost of strippers, musty women, and sex devices in front of children, and another says the barbers show no concern for women in the room. Others describe a long wait that ended with most barbers already taken, a phone number that does not work, and barbers sitting in the chair themselves instead of cutting. Parents still mention leaving a tip every time.
