Finding your face shape and knowing what it is becomes a very helpful tool when looking for a hairstyle that will be the most flattering on you. I hear it all the time when a client sits in my chair, that they cannot have a specific style because their face shape is too round, too long, to square and in a lot of cases they don't know what their own face shape is. In this post, I am going to give you the ultimate guide to finding your face shape and details on what will look best on you.

Even though your face shape might have certain styles and looks that are more flattering, that doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to rock a style that is completely opposite of what your face shape says. I think, if you want to try something... do it.
It's your life & your hair, do whatever makes you happy!
