The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Haircut for Your Face Shape

Not every hairstyle works for everyone! The key to a great haircut is finding one that complements your face shape. At Allan’s Men's Hairdressing, we specialize in helping men find the perfect cut that enhances their features and suits their lifestyle. In this guide, we’ll break down the best haircuts for every face shape so you can step into the barbershop with confidence.

1. Oval Face Shape
Best Haircuts:
✔ Textured Quiff
✔ Pompadour
✔ Side-Parted Styles

An oval face is the most balanced shape, meaning almost any haircut works! A quiff or pompadour adds volume, while a side-part creates a classic, structured look.

 Pro Tip: Keep the sides slightly shorter to maintain balance. Avoid heavy fringes that make the face look rounder.

2. Square Face Shape
Best Haircuts:
✔ Crew Cut
✔ Buzz Cut
✔ Undercut with Volume

Men with a square jawline should opt for clean, structured styles. A crew cut or buzz cut highlights the jaw, while an undercut with volume adds contrast.

Pro Tip: Keep the top slightly longer than the sides for a modern look.

3. Round Face Shape
Best Haircuts:
✔ High Fade with Pompadour
✔ Angular Fringe
✔ Spiky Hair

A round face benefits from hairstyles that add height and angles. A high fade with a pompadour elongates the face, while an angular fringe sharpens soft features.

Pro Tip: Avoid buzz cuts and overly short styles, as they can make the face look rounder.

4. Rectangle (Oblong) Face Shape
Best Haircuts:
✔ Side Part
✔ Medium-Length Layered Hair
✔ Slicked-Back Undercut

A rectangular face is longer than it is wide, so balance is key. A side part or layered cut adds width, preventing the face from looking too elongated.

Pro Tip: Avoid super-short fades that make the face look even longer.

5. Diamond Face Shape
Best Haircuts:
✔ Messy Textured Hair
✔ Medium-Length Side Swept
✔ Tapered Sides

A diamond face has prominent cheekbones and a narrow chin. To balance this, go for medium-length styles with texture and avoid overly short cuts.

 Pro Tip: Keep some volume on the sides to maintain symmetry.
