Antoine Carey didn't just open a barbershop — he built a movement. After obtaining his barber's license while incarcerated, Carey opened Faded & Company on January 6, 2016, eight months after his release. The shop sits on what is now officially called Emancipation Highway — and that symbolism isn't lost on anyone.
Faded & Co. specializes in custom precision cuts, fades, lineups, and beard work in a professional but laid-back atmosphere. But the shop is only part of the story. Carey also runs the Faded & Co. Barber Academy — training the next generation of licensed barbers — and the F.A.D.E.D. Foundation (Fostering Advancement, Development, and Education through Determination). When you walk in and call out "What's the vibe?" — the whole shop calls back "Faded!" That's not a haircut shop. That's a community.
