How to Choose the Right Cut for Your Face
March 14, 2024
Choosing the right haircut for your face shape can make a significant difference in enhancing your features and overall appearance. Let’s dive into some expert tips on how to select the perfect hairstyle based on your face shape:
Understanding Your Face Shape
Before we delve into specific haircuts, let’s identify your face shape. Here are the six main face shapes:
Oval Face:
Characteristics: Forehead slightly wider than the cheekbones, balanced proportions.
Flattering Haircuts: Long layers, shoulder-length waves, full fringe, layered bob, or a side-swept pixie1.
Square Face:
Characteristics: Strong, angled jawline, minimal curve at the chin.
Ideal Haircuts: Consider a strong, square bob to emphasize your balanced jawline1.
Round Face:
Characteristics: Soft and rounded features, flatter cheekbones.
Recommended Haircuts: Opt for styles that add angles, such as layered bobs or long waves1.
Heart-Shaped Face:
Characteristics: Pointed, slim chin, wider forehead (similar to an inverted triangle).
Best Haircuts: Bangs or volume along the sides to draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones2.
Oblong/Rectangle Face:
Characteristics: Forehead, cheeks, and jawline are nearly the same width.
Suitable Haircuts: Soft layers, curtain bangs, or a bob to balance proportions3.
Diamond Face:
Characteristics: High cheekbones, pointy chin, narrower forehead.
Flattering Styles: Experiment with various lengths and textures, but avoid excessive volume on top3.
Tips for Choosing Your Perfect Cut
Play to Your Strengths:
Highlight your best features. For example, if you have beautiful cheekbones, choose a haircut that accentuates them.
Balance and Proportion:
Consider how the haircut complements your face shape. It should create harmony rather than emphasizing any extremes.
Customize Within Guidelines:
While there are general guidelines, feel free to adapt them to your personal style. You’re not bound by strict rules!
Maintenance Matters:
Think about how much time you’re willing to invest in styling and upkeep. Choose a cut that aligns with your lifestyle.
Remember, your hairstyle is an expression of your individuality. Feel free to experiment, but always consider what makes you feel confident and beautiful. Whether it’s a chic bob, flowing waves, or a daring pixie, embrace the haircut that resonates with you!

Father's Day is coming and there is no better time to show the Dads in our lives some well earned self-care! This month, it is all about giving him the tools to feel confident in his skin - because giving him great skin never looked better. Let’s be honest—many men were never taught the importance of skincare beyond a bar of soap and maybe an occasional splash of aftershave. But the truth is, men’s skin faces just as much stress and exposure as women’s, and in many cases, even more. Daily shaving, sun exposure, pollution, and the natural production of oil can lead to irritation, clogged pores, and premature aging. A consistent skincare routine isn't about vanity, it's about investing in your skin’s long-term health. Why Men’s Skin Needs a Different Kind of Care Men typically have thicker skin with more oil glands than women, making them more prone to enlarged pores and breakouts. Facial hair adds another layer of complication, often trapping dirt, bacteria, and oil underneath. Without proper care, this can lead to ingrown hairs, irritation, or dullness. Taking time to treat the skin—especially beneath the beard—isn’t just beneficial, it’s necessary to keep the skin healthy, clear, and balanced. This Father’s Day, give the men in your life something truly refreshing: a treatment designed just for them. Our Custom Express Glow Facial w/ Microdermabrasion ($60; 30 mins) is tailored specifically to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin beneath any facial hair.

Also we can combine any of our facials with out massage services and our head spa! Book online or call 916-443-1400 Luxe Hair Lounge + Day Spa 2015 J St SAC 95811 www.luxe-midtown.com
