✂️ Best Haircuts for Every Face Shape
💠 Oval Face Shape
Lucky you—almost any style works! Oval faces are balanced and versatile.
Stylist Tip: Try long layers, wavy bobs, or blunt bangs for a chic twist.
🌕 Round Face Shape
Your face is soft and curved. The goal? Add angles and elongation.
Best Cuts: Long layers, angled lobs, side-swept bangs
Avoid: Chin-length bobs that emphasize roundness
⬜ Square Face Shape
Strong jawlines are gorgeous. Let’s soften them with movement and texture.
Great Options: Soft layers, curtain bangs, textured shags
Avoid: Harsh, blunt cuts that square off the jawline
❤️ Heart Face Shape
Wider forehead, narrow chin—balance is key here.
Recommended Cuts: Side parts, wispy bangs, layered bobs
Avoid: Short, blunt bangs
🟩 Long/Rectangular Face Shape
Let’s create width and volume to balance length.
Go For: Shoulder-length waves, curtain bangs, full-bodied curls
Avoid: Ultra-long, flat styles
💎 Diamond Face Shape
Cheekbones take the spotlight! Let’s soften the angles.
Best Looks: Chin-length bobs, fringe, tousled layers
Avoid: Styles that add too much volume at the crown
