What hairstyle suits my face shape?

Start with a short list for your shape (oval, round, square, heart, or oblong), then verify on a selfie. BeforeChop lets you try cuts and colors on your own face so the “best” list becomes a personal before/after — not a celebrity gallery.

How do I know my face shape?

Pull hair back, look in a mirror: compare forehead, cheekbones, and jaw width and face length. If you’re between two shapes, try recommendations from both in the studio and keep the one that looks right on you.

Does BeforeChop detect my face shape automatically?

No. You choose cuts to try; the value is seeing them on your photo, which beats a one-size chart alone.

What’s a good haircut for a round face?

Styles that add length or soft angles — think layered lob, longer bob, or soft curtain bangs. Preview on your selfie before you commit; your hairline and density matter as much as the chart.

Should I get bangs for my face shape?

Fringe can shorten a long face or soften a strong forehead — or feel wrong if it fights your cowlick. Use the virtual bangs try-on and our curtain bangs × face shapes guide, then decide with your stylist.

Can I try color after I pick a cut for my face shape?

Yes. Shortlist a cut, generate it on your selfie, then change shade (chestnut, honey, platinum, and more) on the same photo.

Hairstyles for Your Face Shape

Why preview first

Generic “best haircuts” lists miss you

Charts ignore your hairline, density, and lifestyle. Choosing only by a celebrity’s face shape still misses your proportions.

Use the map to shortlist two or three directions, then generate before/after on your selfie before you book. Tips here are styling guidance — not rigid rules or identity claims.

Try these

Face-shape map → verify on your selfie

Oval

Most styles work — try a layered lob, soft waves, or curtain bangs. Don’t overthink; verify favorites on your photo.

Try a lob or waves on my selfie

Round

Add length or soft angles: layered lob, longer bob, soft curtain bangs. Be cautious with chin-length blunt cuts that add all-around width.

Try length on my round face

Square

Soften the jaw with waves, curtain bangs, or a layered lob. Balance strong angles instead of mirroring them.

Try soft waves on my selfie

Heart

Balance a wider forehead with a chin-length bob, soft fringe, or waves. Go easy on too much top volume.

Oblong / long

Add width and softness: collarbone waves, bangs to visually shorten, avoid ultra-long flat sleek as your only option.
