When cutting hair it’s so important to understand suitability of face shapes
Getting the right haircut for your clients face shape is going to give you the point of difference to other stylists
Hers some helpful advise when choosing a haircut for a square face shape
For a square face shape, the goal is to soften the strong jawline and balance the angular features. Square faces are characterized by a broad forehead, prominent jawline, and equally wide cheekbones, so the right hairstyle can help create harmony and enhance the person’s natural beauty.
Best Hairstyles for Square Face Shapes:
1. Soft Waves and Curls
• Why it works: Soft, loose waves or curls add texture and movement to the hair, which helps soften the angularity of the jawline and cheekbones. The curves of the waves create a contrasting, flattering effect against the face’s strong structure.
• Ideal look: Beachy waves or cascading curls that frame the face.
2. Layered Cuts
• Why it works: Layers create a sense of softness and volume, which balances the sharp lines of a square face. Face-framing layers, in particular, can draw attention to the cheekbones while downplaying the jawline.
• Ideal look: Mid-length or long layered hair with soft, feathered edges.
3. S**g Haircuts
• Why it works: S**g styles add lots of layers and texture, which help de-emphasize the jawline and make the face appear softer. The messy, undone look draws the eye upward.
• Ideal look: mid to shoulder-length s**g with curtain bangs
