How to Style Your Hair Based on Your Face Shape: Pro Tips from a Stylist
07.03.2025
Hello everyone! I’m Yumi, a stylist at Viangehair Fuga.
Today, I’d like to share some tips on how to create the perfect silhouette based on your face shape when finishing a hairstyle.
As professional stylists, we always consider facial balance when cutting or styling hair.
Here are some general guidelines we use:
◯ Round Face:
Add volume at the crown to elongate the face, and keep the face line clean with light layers around the cheeks. Side-swept or see-through bangs work especially well.
◯ Long Face:
Add width to soften the vertical lines of the face. A bob or a medium-length cut with minimal layers can help. Opt for fuller, heavier bangs to bring balance.
◯ Square Face:
Soften strong jawlines with movement around the face. Outward curls at the ends or a soft, feathered “kubire” style (subtle inward-outward shape) help create a gentle silhouette.
By keeping these balance tips in mind when styling, your overall look becomes more refined and polished.
When you visit the salon, I’ll walk you through a personalized consultation to help find the perfect hairstyle that suits your face shape. Let’s discover your ideal look together!
