Built by barbers, for the chair.
The Fade House opened its doors in Stockport in 2019 with one idea: a barbershop should feel unhurried, look sharp, and deliver the same standard every single visit — whether it's your first appointment or your fiftieth.
A shop built around the customer, not the clock
After years working in shops that booked appointments back-to-back with no room to breathe, Marcus Reed set out to do things differently. The Fade House was fitted out with proper waiting space, real conversation, and appointment slots long enough to actually get the cut right.
What started as a single chair has grown into a team of barbers who share the same standard — sharp, consistent, and never rushed.
Precision first
Every fade is checked in the mirror before you leave the chair — no exceptions.
Real time slots
We book appointments with enough time built in, so yours never feels rushed.
A shop that looks the part
Clean tools, tidy stations, a space that feels considered rather than thrown together.
The people behind the chair
Marcus Reed
Founder & Senior Barber
Marcus opened The Fade House after ten years cutting hair across Manchester, tired of seeing rushed appointments become the norm. He still takes chair time every day.
Ethan Cole
Barber
Ethan trained under Marcus and specialises in sharp skin fades and precision line-ups — the barber most requested by first-time visitors.
Jay Morgan
Barber
Jay brings a background in classic scissor-cutting and beard sculpting, popular with clients after a slower, more traditional appointment.
