Choosing a Cut for Your Face Shape

A practical guide to reading your own face shape and the cuts that tend to work with it, not against it. Oval faces suit almost any length or style. Round faces are often flattered by cuts with height at the crown and layers that elongate the face. Square faces pair well with soft layers or waves that ease the jawline. Heart-shaped faces balance out with volume at the chin line. Bring reference photos to your consultation so your stylist can adapt the cut to your specific proportions.
