The invention provides stainless steel fiber radiation protection face fabric which is flat in surface, soft, smooth, lustrous, bright, and bright-colored. The radiation protection efficiency of the face fabric reaches above 92%. Warp yarns and weft yarns are stainless steel fiber/cotton fiber blended yarns, wherein the content of the stainless steel fiber is 5%, and the content of the cotton fiber is 95%. The fabrication method of the stainless steel fiber radiation protection face fabric comprises the following steps of a, spinning, b, weaving, c, printing and dyeing, and d, after finishing, wherein in Step a, the cotton fiber is subjected to blowing, cotton carding, combing, and multiple blending and combining processes, and then subjected to roving, spinning and spooling processes, and the stainless steel fiber is gradually blended in the multiple blending and combining processes; in Step b, pulp leveling, drafting and weaving are conducted; in Step c, mercerization staining is adopted; and in Step d, softening, shape finalization and preshrinking are conducted.
