Before you book

For round faces, height on top and tighter sides change the face’s proportions more than any product can; for long faces, do the opposite.

Frequently asked questions

What haircut suits a round face for men?

Styles with height and volume on top, textured or swept up, with shorter faded sides — they add length to the face. Avoid heavy fringes and width at the sides, which add roundness.

What do I ask my stylist or barber for?

Tell your barber your face shape and the effect you want — for example, “round face, I want height on top and the sides kept tight”.
