How to Choose the Best Haircut for Your Face Shape & Hair Texture

By Dandies Barber – Mountain View | Campbell | Sunnyvale, CA

Finding the perfect haircut isn’t just about following trends—it’s about understanding your face shape and hair texture. The right cut enhances your natural features, complements your lifestyle, and makes daily styling effortless. At Dandies Barber, our expert stylists in Mountain View, Campbell, and Sunnyvale, CA, specialize in personalized consultations to help every client discover their signature look.

Understanding Face Shapes

Your face shape plays a major role in how a haircut looks on you. Here’s a quick guide to help you recognize what works best:

1. Oval Face Shape

An oval face is well-balanced, making it ideal for most hairstyles. Try pushed back, side-parted, or undercut styles to enhance your symmetry.

2. Square Face Shape

With a strong jawline and broad forehead, square faces benefit from structure. Crew cuts, buzz cuts, or undercuts emphasize your masculine features while maintaining balance.

3. Oblong Face Shape

For longer faces, avoid adding too much height. Side parts and fringe-up styles help add width and proportion.

4. Triangular Face Shape

If your jawline is wider than your forehead, choose styles that add volume on top, such as fringe up or side fringe cuts.

5. Round Face Shape

Round faces look best with height and angles. Faux hawks, quiffs, or undercuts create structure and elongate the appearance of your face.

6. Diamond Face Shape

This shape suits quiffs, faux hawks, and long pushed-back hair, which highlight cheekbones and soften sharp angles.

7. Heart Face Shape

For narrower jawlines, side-parted long styles, fringes, or undercuts help balance the proportions and draw attention to the eyes.

Matching Hair Texture to Your Face Shape

At Dandies Barber, we know texture is just as important as shape. Whether your hair is straight, curly, wavy, or fine, our barbers recommend styles that enhance its natural look:

Straight Hair: Best for clean, sleek cuts like side parts and slick backs.
Wavy Hair: Works beautifully with textured crops or quiffs for natural movement.
Curly Hair: Perfect for fades and shaped cuts that define texture without excess volume.
Thick Hair: Layered undercuts and side-swept looks keep hair manageable and stylish.
Fine Hair: Short textured cuts like crew cuts and messy crops add natural fullness.
