How do I know my face shape?

Pull your hair back and look at the outline of your face in a mirror, noting the width of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw and the overall length. Your stylist can also assess it at a consultation.

Does hair texture affect which cut suits me?

Yes — texture is just as important as face shape. A good stylist factors in whether your hair is fine, thick, straight or curly to design a cut that works with it.

The Best Haircut for Your Face Shape: A Stylist's Guide

The secret to a haircut that always looks good isn't following the latest trend — it's choosing a shape that flatters your face. A great stylist reads your face shape, hair texture and lifestyle to design a cut that grows out beautifully and suits you every day.

Here's a quick guide from our senior stylists in Warsaw to the cuts that flatter each face shape.

Round faces

Cuts that add height and length work best — long layers, side-swept fringes and styles with volume at the crown elongate the face. Avoid blunt, chin-length bobs that emphasise width.

Oval faces

Considered the most versatile shape, oval faces suit almost any cut. This is your chance to experiment — from blunt bobs to long layers and curtain bangs.

Square faces

Soft layers and waves soften a strong jawline. Side partings and face-framing layers add movement, while very blunt, jaw-length cuts can emphasise angles.

Heart-shaped faces

Cuts that add width at the jaw balance a wider forehead — think chin-length bobs, layered lobs and side-swept fringes.

Long faces

Width-adding styles like blunt bobs, waves and fringes help shorten and balance a longer face. Avoid very long, sleek straight styles that elongate further.
