Choosing a cut for your face shape

Round faces look best with height and sharp sides: a skin fade with length on top lengthens the face. Square faces suit a softer, textured crop that balances a strong jaw.

Oval faces are the most versatile and can carry almost anything, from a classic side parting to a short crop. Long faces do well with a little fringe and shorter sides to avoid adding more length.

These are guidelines, not rules. Your hair type, hairline and daily routine matter just as much, which is why every cut here starts with a proper consultation.
