First of all, let’s define the characteristics of the “square” face shape. A client has a square face shape if the width of the forehead, cheekbones and jaw are the same, and the jawline is square with sharp angles.

Every woman's face is beautiful. The hairdresser's task is to highlight this beauty. What shapes and lengths are suitable for clients with a square face shape?

It’s easier for a hairdresser to tell which ones are not recommended to use. First of all, you need to avoid hard, heavy hair lines, especially along the cheekbones, jaw, and chin.

If the client has long hair, then you need to choose soft, “flowing” hairstyles - these are all kinds of curls and waves.

If the haircut is medium length, then not a bob, but a soft rounded bob; if the hair is short, also choose a soft one, with “ragged” ends,” “fringe.”

Those with a square face (as well as a round one) should not try to “hide” it! “Open” hairstyles suit these types of faces very well.
