Whether you're getting a full haircut, blowout, or a total style refresh, this guide will help you feel confident before you even sit in the chair.


Why Face Shape Matters When Choosing a Hairstyle

Understanding your face shape is the key to finding a hairstyle that enhances your natural contours and brings balance to your features. At Venelle Salon & Spa, our Brooklyn hair stylists offer personalized consultations to determine your face shape and recommend styles that work perfectly for your hair type and lifestyle.


Hairstyles for Round Faces

Round face traits:

  • Soft jawline

  • Cheekbones and width of the face are about equal

  • Subtle angles

✨ Best Hairstyles for Round Faces

  1. Long Layers with Side Part
    Adds length and breaks the circular shape.

  2. Asymmetrical Bob
    Creates a slimming effect while adding edge.

  3. Textured Shag
    Volume on top elongates the face while the texture adds movement.

  4. Deep Side-Swept Bangs
    Diagonal lines help create the illusion of angles.

  5. High Ponytail or Top Knot
    Elevates the face and slims the sides.

💡 At Venelle Salon & Spa, we love adding volume at the crown and soft, face-framing layers to elongate a round face for a more sculpted look.


Hairstyles for Oval Faces

Oval face traits:

  • Balanced proportions

  • Forehead slightly wider than the chin

  • Soft curves, often considered the "ideal" face shape

✨ Best Hairstyles for Oval Faces

  1. Blunt Bob
    Accentuates symmetry and looks effortlessly chic.

  2. Beachy Waves
    Adds texture and a youthful, relaxed vibe.

  3. Curtain Bangs with Mid-Length Hair
    Softens the forehead and draws attention to the cheekbones.

  4. Sleek Straight Hair with Center Part
    Shows off balance and works well with all textures.

  5. Pixie Cut
    Modern and stylish—great for highlighting facial symmetry.

💇‍♀️ Oval faces suit almost any hairstyle. That means it’s all about personal preference and hair texture. Our Brooklyn stylists at Venelle can guide you to the perfect version of your dream cut.


Hairstyles for Square Faces

Square face traits:

  • Strong jawline

  • Broad forehead

  • Angular features

✨ Best Hairstyles for Square Faces

  1. Layered Lob (Long Bob)
    Softens the jawline while maintaining structure.

  2. Side-Swept Bangs
    Create diagonal lines that reduce angularity.

  3. Loose Waves
    Adds softness and movement to the hair, offsetting strong features.

  4. Textured Shoulder-Length Cut
    Focuses attention away from the jawline and toward the mid-face.

  5. Messy Updo or Bun with Tendrils
    Breaks up hard lines and adds softness.

🔥 Our stylists at Venelle Salon & Spa use advanced layering techniques to help square-faced clients achieve balanced, flattering looks that highlight their strength while softening bold features.
