Looking for the right cut can be daunting. Especially when surrounded by Hollywood hair.  Sometimes (not often) my clients will ask for something that is not possible due to hair density, time, length, texture, etc.  Everyone wants what they don't have.  If you have curly hair, you want smooth hair, if you are someone with stick straight hair, you want soft waves or a spiral curl, etc.  A cut can complement any head shape.  Knowing what face shape you are can narrow down the search for what looks best on you.  Someone with a long face  benefits from a bob or short layered cut with soft edges leaning toward the face.  Heart shaped faces benefit from having longer layers that flip away from the face, opening up the chin area. Oval faces are the lucky ones that can pretty much get away with most cuts.  Square (pear) shaped faces should avoid blunt bangs unless wanting intentional sharp features.  Soft bangs with short to medium length hair with waves are beneficial to blend and narrow the forehead. Wide foreheads soften up with bangs or a fringe.  Narrow foreheads benefit from directing the hair away from the face. Receding foreheads are understated by directing the bangs over over the forehead with an outwardly directed volume.

Other considerations are profile, jaw and nose shape.  Profiles are convex, concave or straight.  Your hairdresser is trained to consider all options.  All of this information can be overwhelming, but understanding your face shape will help you to communicate with your hairdresser.
