How to Choose the Right Haircut for Your Face Shape

The right haircut can enhance your features and make styling easier every day. At InStyle Salon in Johns Creek, we help clients choose cuts that flatter their face shape and fit their lifestyle. Here’s a quick guide.

Oval Face

Oval faces are balanced, so most cuts work. Long layers, bobs, and textured styles all look great. You can experiment with bangs or keep the forehead clear.

Round Face

Longer lengths and layers that add height at the crown help elongate the face. Avoid blunt, chin-length bobs that widen the jaw. Side-swept bangs can add angle.

Square Face

Soften angular jaws with layers and movement. Wavy or curly textures and side parts work well. Avoid severe, straight-across bangs.

Heart-Shaped Face

Chin-length or longer cuts balance a narrower chin. Side-swept or wispy bangs can soften a wider forehead. Layers at the cheekbones add fullness where you want it.

Long Face

Cuts that add width — like waves, curls, or blunt ends — shorten the appearance of the face. Avoid very long, straight hair that drags the eye down.

The best way to know what works for you is a consultation. Book a haircut at InStyle Salon in Johns Creek, or contact us and tell us your goals.
