Fades are popular here too and you're right, go to the ghetto for a good one. Back when I still lived at home (ghetto) and had a skin tight fade I'd get hooked for $5, always perfect, razored sides and neck, real sharp looking. Then I moved (no more ghetto) and wound up going from barber to barber paying anywhere from $12 - $25 for fucked up fades. I get a 1 or 2 clip low fade now and go back to where I grew up to get one, only prices have gone up to $8. Still a bargain.
