Choosing the right haircut for your face shape can transform your look completely. For men with round faces, the goal is often to create definition, angles, and height that balance out soft or circular features. At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we tailor every cut to your unique facial structure so you walk out looking your best. Here are the top haircuts that work perfectly for round-faced men.
The High Fade with Volume on Top
A high fade removes bulk from the sides, while added volume on top elongates the face. This combination is ideal for creating the illusion of a longer, more structured profile.
You can style the top into a pompadour, brush-up, or spiked texture depending on your preference.
The Quiff
The quiff is a stylish, high-volume cut that lifts the hair upward and slightly back. This added height helps lengthen the face visually, reducing roundness. It pairs best with a mid or low fade and works well with both straight and wavy hair types.
Allan’s barbers use lightweight volume products to keep the quiff in place without weighing it down.
The Faux Hawk
A modern faux hawk draws the eye toward the center of the head, giving the illusion of a more oval face. The sides are clipped shorter while the center is left longer and styled upwards or slightly forward.
This look adds edge and length to a round face and is perfect for men looking for something bold yet clean.
The Side Part with Low Taper
This classic style is flattering for round faces because it introduces asymmetry. A deep side part breaks the symmetry of the face and adds definition to the jawline.
At Allan’s, we recommend keeping the sides shorter and the top longer to elongate the face and add sharpness.
The Angular Fringe
Most round-faced men think they should avoid fringes, but an angular fringe is an exception. This cut brings diagonal lines to the face, which can add structure and contour. It works well for men with straight or thick hair.
Pair it with faded or undercut sides for a balanced shape.
What to Avoid with a Round Face
-
Avoid cuts with equal length on the sides and top
-
Steer clear of flat, straight bangs
-
Don’t add volume to the sides it makes the face look wider
-
Skip rounded, puffy styles without any structure
