How to Choose the Right Men’s Hairstyle for Your Face Shape

Choosing a new hairstyle isn’t just about what’s trending it’s about what suits you. At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we believe every haircut should enhance your natural features. Your face shape plays a huge role in determining which hairstyle will look best on you. Whether you have a round face or a strong jawline, our barbers know exactly how to customize a style that flatters and defines.

Let’s break down the best men’s hairstyles based on face shape.

1. Oval Face Shape

Balanced and versatile almost every style works!

If your face is longer than it is wide, and your jawline is slightly rounded, congratulations you’ve got an oval face. Most hairstyles suit you, so you have the freedom to experiment. From textured crops to slick backs or classic fades, Allan’s expert barbers will guide you in choosing a style that matches your lifestyle and hair texture.

Top Picks at Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing:

  • Classic fade with quiff

  • Messy French crop

  • Side part with volume

2. Square Face Shape

Strong jawline? Go bold with structure and sharp cuts.

A square face features a broad forehead and angular jaw masculine and bold. You need a haircut that enhances those features without making them too harsh. At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we recommend styles that balance structure with a little texture.

Best Styles for Square Faces:

  • High skin fade with short textured top

  • Ivy League haircut

  • Brushed-up crew cut

3. Round Face Shape

Add angles to enhance your look.

Round faces have soft curves and equal width and height. The goal is to add height and angles. At Allan’s, our stylists use height-boosting styles to give you a longer, leaner look.

Ideal Haircuts:

  • Faux hawk

  • High fade with volume

  • Textured spikes or pompadour

4. Heart Face Shape

Narrow jaw? Balance it with mid-volume cuts.

A wider forehead and pointed chin define this shape. You want to draw attention away from the top and balance the bottom. Allan’s team recommends medium to low-volume styles with layers or fringe.

Recommended at Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing:

  • Side-swept fringe

  • Textured layers

  • Undercut with loose top

5. Diamond Face Shape

Sharp cheekbones and narrow forehead/chin

Diamond-shaped faces are edgy and rare. At Allan’s, we soften the sharp cheekbones with fuller sides or messy styles to avoid making the face look too long or angular.

Perfect Cuts:

  • Messy fringe

  • Textured crop

  • Slicked-back undercut with low fade
