Frequently asked questions
What haircut suits a round face best?
Styles with height at the crown, longer lengths below the chin, and face-framing layers usually flatter round faces most, because they add visual length. Very blunt chin-length cuts tend to add width instead.
What do I ask my stylist or barber for?
Tell your stylist your face shape and the effect you want — for example, “round face, I want more length” points them straight to longer layers and height at the crown.
