We Know the Problem
Most barbershops are holding you back.
You're cutting great hair. But you're stuck at $30 cuts, paying your own booth rent, doing your own marketing, paying for your own education — and the owner? Nowhere to be found.
You didn't master your craft to settle for that.
The Fade Crew Is Different
Here's what you get when you join
Zero-Risk Start
$700/week guaranteed for your first 6 weeks while you build your clientele.
Free Education
Unlimited access to The Fade Crew Academy — courses, workshops, and top industry seminars. On us.
Wholesale Savings
Up to 75% off equipment and 50% off supplies through our partners.
Your Own Marketing Team
We run paid ads and manage social media — and tag YOU in every post.
Full Autonomy
You set your schedule. You run your chair. No micromanagement.
Real Career Path
Barber → Senior → Manager → Educator → Seminarist → Salon Owner.
Your Clients Stay Yours
Even if you leave. We waive the non-compete if you open your own studio.

The Environment
A studio you're proud to work in.
The Fade Crew is located in the heart of Raleigh — open concept, modern design, great music, and complimentary drinks for clients. Clean. Professional. The kind of shop that elevates your brand just by being in it.
Every barber we bring on is vetted for skill and character. The result is a team that pushes each other forward — not the usual drama.
The Path
Start here. Go anywhere.
Most barbershops offer you one thing: a place to cut hair. We offer you a career.
Crew Barber
Build your book, earn up to 80% per cut, and grow your name behind the chair.
Studio Manager / Team Lead
Accelerated commissions plus performance bonuses, leadership benefits, and expanded compensation.
Fade Crew Educator
Teach, mentor, and build your reputation across the industry from inside the academy.
Seminarist
Travel, teach, and grow your platform nationally with the Fade Crew name behind you.
Salon Owner
When you're ready, open your own location with us — partners, not competitors.
You choose the path. We help you get there.
Common Questions
Before you ask.
Is this booth rent or commission?
Commission — and it's intentional. We reinvest commissions into your marketing, education, and tools so everyone grows faster. Booth rent lets you work alone. We help you win together.
What if I'm new to Raleigh or just out of school?
That’s exactly why we built the $700/week guarantee. You have 6 weeks to build your book without financial stress. We cover the gap if your commissions and tips don’t hit that number.
Do I control my own schedule?
100%. You're a 1099 contractor. You decide your days, your hours, and your clientele. No one tells you when to show up.
What happens to my clients if I ever leave?
They're yours. If you ever decide to open your own solo studio, we waive the non-compete so you can take your full client list with you.
What's the starting price per haircut?
$45 minimum — and you raise it strategically in $10 increments as your demand grows. Our marketing team supports your pricing every step of the way.
