FACE SHAPE how important is it to your CUT?

How Important is face shape to your haircut?

There have been numerous times when a client will sit in my chair and say something to the effect of......... Can you cut my hair for my face shape?
Magazines and television and the so called experts have refered to this necessity of finding the perfect cut to enhance the shape of a face. These experts have also told us all that the perfect shape is oval.
What????
I don't buy into this philosophy. Each and everyone of us has the perfect face shape. And although some cuts don't work for certain people, I would never box anyone in and say this is the perfect cut for your face. If you have the one cut that will work for you and you live with this face forever, does that mean that this is the cut you must have as long as you have this face??? If that is the case we would still be wearing beehives and mullets and afros...
I personally think that Sarah Jessica Parker is beautiful.....did you know that she has a long face? She will sometimes wear her hair long and straight.(a no no for someone with a long face. Who cares!..I think she is still stunning and it just proves that those experts are wrong.

Who are these so called experts???? What are their names??? How long ago did they make these decisions???? Why are we listening to them???

Realistically the shape of your face is only a miniscule part of what you should consider when chosing your style. There are a number of things that can ROCK your hairstyle.....
one of them is change: just something new will kick start you and get you excited to do the do.
an other is styling: knowing what to use and how will ensure your hair sings and dances on your head.
color: imagine a wall with no paint...that's what a cut with no color is.
texture: waves and curl and volume.....mmmm
attitude and ownership!!!......it's the sexiest part of your new look..... it's called CONFIDENCE

What should you consider when coosing a new cut?

Trends and in some cases fads. These keep you modern.

How do you want to market yourself? What is your profession? How do you want the world to see you. What is your personal style

How much time can you spend on styling your hair and how often are you planning to maintain it?

What is your hair able to do? .....texture....formation....length....etc.

What is your goal with your image?
These are some of the questions and things you should consider when chosing a new look.


So I say take a risk and try something new.
