Discover the secrets to finding your most flattering style at Lone Tree’s premier salon
Finding the ideal haircut isn’t just about following trends—it’s about understanding how different styles complement your unique facial structure. At Burman & Co., Lone Tree’s premier hair salon, we believe that the perfect cut should enhance your natural features and reflect your personal style. This comprehensive guide will help you identify your face shape and discover the most flattering haircuts to elevate your look.
Understanding Your Face Shape: The Foundation of a Great Haircut
Before booking your next appointment at our Lone Tree hair salon, take a moment to determine your face shape. This simple step can make all the difference in achieving a haircut that truly works for you.
How to Determine Your Face Shape
- Pull your hair back completely from your face
- Trace the outline of your face on a mirror using a washable marker
- Measure the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline
- Measure the length from your hairline to chin
- Compare these measurements to identify your face shape
The Perfect Haircuts for Each Face Shape
Oval Face Shape
If you have an oval face (longer than it is wide with gently rounded contours), you’re in luck! This versatile shape works well with nearly any hairstyle.
Best Haircuts for Oval Faces:
- Long layers with side-swept bangs
- Shoulder-length bob with soft layers
- Pixie cuts with longer tops
- Classic mid-length cuts with face-framing layers
Round Face Shape
Round faces have similar width and length measurements with full cheeks and a rounded chin. The goal is to create angles and elongate the face.
Best Haircuts for Round Faces:
- Long layers with side parts
- Asymmetrical bobs that fall below the chin
- Long pixie cuts with volume on top
- Shoulder-length cuts with layers starting at the chin
Square Face Shape
Square faces feature strong jawlines and foreheads of similar width. Softening these angular features creates balance.
Best Haircuts for Square Faces:
- Soft layers that frame the face
- Lob (long bob) with side-swept bangs
- Shoulder-length cuts with feathered ends
- Textured pixie cuts with longer pieces around the face
Heart Face Shape
Heart-shaped faces are wider at the forehead and temples, narrowing to a pointed chin.
Best Haircuts for Heart Faces:
- Medium-length cuts with layers that start at the chin
- Side-swept bangs that disguise a wider forehead
- Long bobs that add width at the jawline
- Pixie cuts with longer tops and wispy sides
Diamond Face Shape
Diamond faces feature narrow foreheads and jawlines with wider cheekbones.
Best Haircuts for Diamond Faces:
- Side-swept bangs that add width to the forehead
- Chin-length bobs that highlight cheekbones
- Medium-length cuts with face-framing layers
- Textured styles that add volume at the forehead and jawline
Rectangle/Oblong Face Shape
Longer than they are wide, rectangular faces benefit from styles that add width and soften length.
Best Haircuts for Rectangle Faces:
- Medium-length cuts with layers throughout
- Curtain bangs or full fringe to shorten the face
- Wavy styles that add width
- Bobs with volume at the sides
Beyond Face Shape: Other Factors to Consider
While face shape provides an excellent starting point, a truly personalized haircut considers multiple factors:
Hair Texture and Type
Understanding your hair’s natural texture is crucial for selecting a cut that works with—not against—your hair. Fine hair benefits from blunt cuts that create the illusion of thickness, while thick, coarse hair often needs layers for manageability. At Burman & Co., our cutting educators analyze your specific hair type to recommend styles that will work with your natural texture.
Lifestyle and Maintenance
Consider how much time you’re willing to spend styling your hair each day. Low-maintenance styles might include:
- Wash-and-go cuts with natural texture
- Longer styles that can be pulled back
- Cuts that grow out gracefully, requiring fewer salon visits
Personal Style and Expression
Your haircut should be a reflection of your unique personality and style preferences. At Burman & Co., our talented team takes the time to understand not just your face shape but also your personal aesthetic, profession, and how you want your hair to make you feel. This comprehensive approach ensures you’ll receive a cut that aligns with both your features and your self-expression.
