Ever walked out of a salon wondering why that cool haircut didn’t look as good on you as it did in the magazine? It’s probably not the cut it’s the face shape. At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we help our clients choose styles that enhance their features, not fight them. Here’s how you can do the same.
1. Oval Face Shape: The Most Versatile
Traits: Balanced features, slightly rounded jaw, forehead wider than chin
Recommended Cuts:
- Quiff
- Slick back
- Side part
Basically, you can rock almost any style. Lucky you!
Avoid: Heavy fringes that cover the forehead and hide your natural balance.
2. Square Face Shape: Strong and Defined
Traits: Strong jawline, wide cheekbones, broad forehead
Recommended Cuts:
- Textured crop
- Classic fade
- Undercut with volume
These enhance your bold structure without adding bulk.
3. Round Face Shape: Add Some Angles
Traits: Rounded jawline and cheeks, equal width and height
Recommended Cuts:
- Pompadour
- Faux hawk
- High skin fade
Goal: Add height and volume to elongate your look.
Avoid: Buzz cuts and Centre parts they can exaggerate the roundness.
4. Heart Face Shape: Balance the Forehead and Chin
Traits: Wider forehead, narrower chin
Recommended Cuts:
- Mid-length swept back
- Low fades
- Tapered sides
Why they work: These draw attention away from the forehead and build visual weight near the jaw.
5. Diamond Face Shape: Highlight the Cheekbones
Traits: Narrow forehead and chin, wide cheekbones
Recommended Cuts:
- Layered styles
- Fringe with texture
- Low skin fade with volume on top
These soften the angles and add proportion.
