Fade Away Hair Studios INC.

What Fade Away Hair Studios INC. does

Fade Away Hair Studios INC. operates a single-location barbershop at 8241 Woodbine Ave #15 in Markham, Ontario, founded in 2013. The studio delivers appointment-based men's grooming services — haircuts, precision fades, lineups, beard sculpting and touch-ups, and children's cuts — through a team of six named barbers (Ardena, Brendon, Rodney, Aaron, Travis, Faizal). Bookings are managed via Square Appointments, with per-barber online booking links embedded on the company website. The company does not publish service pricing; customers obtain quotes by booking.

Beyond in-person services, Fade Away Hair Studios sells a proprietary line of grooming products under the Fadeaway brand through its own e-commerce storefront. The product range consists of Fadeaway Beard Oil ($30, available in four scents: Tangerine Lime, Eucalyptus Mint, Creed Aventus, and Green Irish Tweed) and Fadeawar Hair Products ($30, in four variants: Matte Paste, Matte Clay, Regular Hold Pomade, and Strong Hold Pomade). Products are marketed as clean, non-toxic, Vitamin E-enriched, and not tested on animals. The company has also signaled an upcoming barber training course offering with email signup, though this is not yet launched.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model with two revenue streams: pay-as-you-go grooming services at the physical studio and one-time e-commerce product sales that ship globally in principle but lack disclosed distribution partnerships. Service pricing is opaque and quote-based; product pricing is fixed at $30 per unit. No funding rounds, ownership details, financial disclosures, or multi-location expansion have been disclosed. The Fadeaway name functions as a common-law brand identity across studio signage, website, and product packaging, though it is not registered as a trademark.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Great Clips: One of the largest hair salon franchises in North America, offering walk-in men's, women's, and kids' cuts. Relevant as the dominant scaled incumbent in the haircut-services category that Fade Away competes within locally.
• Sport Clips: Large US franchise chain of men's and boys' sports-themed hair salons. Comparable as a much larger incumbent in the men's and kids' haircut segment, with broad geographic reach that contrasts with Fade Away's single-location footprint.
• The Art of Shaving: Premium men's grooming brand and barbershop chain offering shaving, beard, and skincare services and products. Comparable on men's grooming services and proprietary product line, though positioned at a higher price point with broader retail distribution.
• Roosters Men's Grooming Center: US franchise barbershop chain offering men's haircuts, hot towel shaves, and grooming products. Directly comparable men's grooming services-plus-products model at franchise scale, representing the multi-unit path Fade Away could pursue.

Direct peers

• Fellow Barber: Multi-location US barbershop chain that pairs in-person grooming services with a proprietary men's grooming product line. Directly comparable to Fade Away's services-plus-products hybrid model and its specialty, modern-men's positioning.
• Beardbrand: Direct-to-consumer men's beard and hair care brand built around beard oil, balms, and styling products sold through its own e-commerce site. Directly comparable to Fadeaway Beard Oil and Fadeawar Hair Products on product positioning, pricing, and digital DTC distribution.
• Blind Barber: Barbershop-founded men's grooming brand operating both walk-in barbershop locations and a globally distributed product line (pomades, beard care, skincare). Closely matches Fade Away's dual services/product model and craft-led brand identity.
• Suavecito Pomade: Men's grooming and hair styling brand known for pomades, hair products, and beard care sold globally through DTC and retail. Comparable to Fade Away on product category overlap (pomade, beard oil) and target male consumer segment, though at significantly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Husk Men's Grooming: Canadian men's grooming brand offering beard care, hair styling, and skincare products. Comparable to Fadeaway's product side on Canadian-market positioning and natural/clean ingredient messaging, though without Fade Away's in-person barbershop.

Others

• American Crew: Established men's hair styling and grooming brand with global distribution across salons, barbershops, and retail. Relevant adjacent comparator for Fadeawar Hair Products on product category, formulation, and target end user, though without a service-side component.
