The wonderful thing about Uptown New York Style Hair Salon is that receiving a hair system is not just about the hair system. It’s also about the overall look of the client. As such, the client must consider the shape of her head, face shape, and her lifestyle. Cecelia Johnson educates our clients on choosing hairstyles that complement their personality and lifestyle.
Hairstyling Rule
Have you ever had your hair cut and styled to a photo you saw in a magazine and days later you wondered why you did that? Simply put, likely it was the wrong hairstyle for your face shape. Hairstyles are predominately about shape and geometry. In short, it’s about framing your face for overall balance and perspective. Hairstylists like Cecelia Johnson minimizes non-pleasing attributes and compliment your positive ones.
As a general hairstyling rule, try to achieve an oval shape. Why? Because it’s the most perfect and pleasing shape to the human eye. To accomplish this, wide faces need lengthening and long faces need shortening.
Best Hairstyle For Your Face Shape
Grab a photo of yourself that has the hair styled away from your face. Then take a look at the photos and descriptions below and find the best match. It’s important to remember that even though your face may not be an exact match of any single shape, it will resemble one shape over all.
Heart Faces
Wide at the forehead and cheekbones, but narrow at the jawline. Hairstyles that hits right below the jaw helps fill in the area around the chin, and de-emphasizes the bottom point. A pixie cut also looks nice with a pushed back bang.
Round Faces
Round faces are circular in shape and length is approximately equal to the width. If you want to wear a center part, the way to make it work for a round face is to have hair a few inches past your shoulders with layers that hit at the jawline.
Square Faces
Strong and broad forehead with an angular jaw. Best hairstyle for your face shape if it’s square is a lob with body. If you’re wearing it really straight, wear a center part, which opens up the middle of your face, drawing attention away from your jawline.
Oval Faces
Length is equal to one and a half times width, and the forehead and jaw are the same width. Good hairstyle is shoulder length or longer with a center part. To help avoid looking too blunt, you could also add some soft waves.
