Tips for Choosing a Hairstyle to Suit Your Face Shape: Trust Perrys Barbershop
The secret to consistently looking neat, sharp, and confident isn't about following trends, but about choosing the right hairstyle for your face shape.
At Perry's Barbershop, every cut is specifically designed to suit your facial structure, not simply copying someone else's style.
Here's a complete guide to men's hairstyles based on face shape—round, oval, and square—complete with recommendations for the most flattering styles.
1. Round Face
A round face has a soft, angular vibe and an equal length-to-width ratio.
Therefore, the focus is on creating the impression of height with vertical volume to make the face appear slimmer and more structured. There are three hairstyle options for those with a round face:
- High Pompadour: High volume on top, neat sides. This instant effect makes a round face appear longer and more proportionate.
- Faux Hawk: A bold cut with a raised top, creating vertical lines that disguise the width of the face.
- Quiff with Skin Fade: A combination of classic and modern, with super neat sides and volume at the front that adds dimension to the face.
If your face tends to be round with full cheeks, these styles are a shortcut to a more masculine and assertive look without having to go on a face diet first.
2. Oval Face
Oval faces have a balanced and versatile vibe. You're in luck, because almost any style suits them; just keep your hair off your forehead to maintain facial symmetry. Here are four recommendations from Perrys Barbershop:
- The Buzz Cut is a simple, clean, low-maintenance hairstyle that still looks dashing.
- The Classic Side Part is a neat and professional haircut, perfect for work or formal occasions.
- The Pompadour, a classic haircut that never goes wrong, emphasizes the jawline.
- The undercut, with its sharp contrasting details between short sides and long top, creates a modern and bold impression.
The oval face is the most flexible canvas, but that's precisely why you need a barber who understands the details to maximize the final result, not just a random cut.
3. Square Face
Square faces are known for their sharp, strong vibe and defined jawline.
You can ask your hairstylist to emphasize your jawline, keeping the sides tight, and adding a little volume at the top. Here are some hairstyles that are perfect for those with square faces:
- Textured Crop, synonymous with a controlled messy texture, looks effortless yet cool.
- High Fade, has a sharp transition from skin to hair, enhancing a masculine impression.
- Slick Back, an elegant haircut, perfect for those who want to appear more mature and authoritative.
- Crew Cut is a classic short cut that emphasizes your strong jawline.
Square faces are synonymous with a strong jawline — and that's an asset! The right hairstyle will make your facial lines look more chiseled and characterful.
