The Work
Technique
Four things we do differently. They're the reason the fade still reads clean on day nine and your hairline is still yours at fifty.
Wet hair lies to you. We cut afro and coily hair dry and picked out, so we see exactly how your curls recoil and lay. No shrinkage surprises when you get home — what you see in the chair is what you keep.
We move the clippers with your curl pattern, not against it. That's what prevents the bumps, the irritation, and the slow hairline recession that comes from years of aggressive cutting.
A clean skin fade is wrist work — precise flicking motions that dissolve the line instead of drawing one. No shadows, no steps, no bands.
We shape the hairline you have instead of pushing it back to make the line easier to draw. Sharp geometry, natural placement — and enhancement spray or fibers on request when you want the edge to read dense.

Owner · Master Barber
Chris opened Design Plus to do one thing at a very high level: put a man in the chair and send him out looking like the best version of himself. Fifteen-plus years in, he's known across southern Dallas County for a bald fade with no shadow in it and an edge-up that's still holding a week and a half later.
