Choosing the Right Haircut for Your Face Shape

Published by Senior Stylist at Khoury

A great haircut is not just about following current trends; it is an exercise in proportions. The goal of any master cut is to create visual symmetry by balancing the natural geometry of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline.

1. Oval Face Shapes

Considered the most versatile geometry. Oval faces can pull off almost any style, from short buzz fades to voluminous pompadours. The key is keeping hair off the forehead to accentuate natural balance.

2. Square & Strong Jawlines

A classic masculine silhouette. Sharp side tapers, textured crops, and traditional side-parts complement strong angles. Avoid soft rounded cuts that hide your jawline.

3. Round Face Shapes

To elongate a rounder face profile, request cuts with height on top (such as textured quiffs) and tight skin fades on the sides. Avoid excessive bulk on the sides of the head.
