Oval face

Ideal haircut:Almost anything!The oval shape is considered “symmetrical” and balanced, so you can easily experiment: short bob, long hair, bangs, pixie, shag — they can all work. You have the freedom to play with volume and textures.

Type 2025:Add a curtain-fringe for added sophistication.

‍

Round face

Ideal haircut:Medium length or long, with layers.The goal is to optically lengthen the face, so avoid too large volumes in the sides. A long bob with side bangs, or layers that delicately frame the cheeks, goes perfectly.

Type 2025:Avoid short and straight bangs, which can emphasize roundness.

‍

Square face

Ideal haircut:Styles that “tame” the jaw.Opt for soft waves, fluid layers or a lobe with spun tips. Medium to long hair helps to blur the straight lines of the face.

Type 2025:Avoid geometric and straight haircuts, which emphasize angular features.

‍

Heart-shaped face

Ideal haircut:Volumes at the bottom.The heart-shaped face has a wider forehead and a sharp chin, so it's ideal to balance with a long bob, textured strands or light curls towards the tips.

Type 2025:Thin bangs or on one side can visually balance the forehead.

‍

Elongated face

Ideal haircut:Side volumes, bangs, medium lengths.The goal is to optically “shorten” the length of the face. Choose a shag with bangs, a voluminous bob or layers that add width on the sides.

Type 2025:Say yes to full bangs or curtain!

When choosing a haircut, take into account the shape of your face, but also your personality. Trends come and go, but a haircut that suits you will always be in style.
