5. Recommended cuts by face shape
Starting points, not rules. Adapt to texture, growth patterns, maintenance, and the client’s goals.
| Shape | Flattering cuts to explore | Go easy on (depending on the goal) |
|---|---|---|
| Oval | Bob; layered length; textured crop | Extra crown height if you want to keep your face from looking longer. |
| Round | Long layers; angled lob; crop with height | Chin-length bluntness and extra width at the cheeks if you want a longer outline. |
| Square | Wavy lob; side-parted cut; layers past jaw | A heavy straight line at jaw level if your goal is to soften the corners. |
| Heart | Chin-length bob; shoulder layers; side bangs | Heavy volume at the temples with very tight sides below it if you want balance. |
| Diamond | Jaw-length bob; layered lob; soft bangs | Very tight temples with all the volume at cheekbone level if you want balance. |
| Oblong | Wavy bob; full-sided crop; cut with bangs | Tall quiffs or very long, flat sides if you want a shorter-looking outline. |
