How to choose the right haircut for your face shape: Salon guide
By Rohan Varma (Consumer Grooming Lead) · · 1 min read
In short: Maximize your salon consultation by identifying your face shape and picking haircuts that complement your jawline and hair texture.
Selecting a haircut based on your face shape ensures balanced proportions. Round faces benefit from high-volume textured quiffs, oval faces suit virtually any style, square jaws excel with classic fades, and rectangular faces look best with balanced side parts.
How to identify your face shape
Look in the mirror and measure four key points: your forehead width, cheekbone prominence, jawline angles, and total face length from hairline to chin tip.
Style recommendations by shape
- Round faces: Add height on top and keep the sides short (undercut or high fade) to elongate the silhouette.
- Square faces: Emphasize strong bone structure with clean side parts, crew cuts, or textured crops.
- Heart/Triangle faces: Balance wider foreheads with medium-length fringe or natural textured volume.
- Oval faces: Maintain clean necklines; avoid excessive bangs that hide facial symmetry.
