Reflections of You the best haircuts for your face shape

Ready for a new look ? Get the right haircut for your facial features at Reflections of You Fairfax salon and spa
Our faces are all unique, the hairstyle just brings it out.
Here are a list of the many face shapes and the styles that make them beautiful!

Oval: most versatile face shape, no matter the length of your cut, you’ll look best with layers near your cheekbones, lips or chin; basically whatever the feature you want to highlight

Rectangular or oblong: The wonderful long face shape. The perfect haircut for us is one that doesn't drag down the face, yet adds width. Brow-skimming bangs and Chin-length bobs are also ideal for us because they create the illusion of width. Gwyneth Paltrow's shoulder-length bob is very flattering on a long face. Just make sure your stylist cuts the hair a bit shorter in the back so it doesn't look boring. Curls and waves work well because they add width to the face.

Round: Styles that are flattering and stylish: Try cuts that fall just below the chin. Soft, graduated layers are a great bet because they make your face appear slimmer and tend to remove bulk and weight from the sides. Consider wispy and tapered ends. These de-emphasize the roundness of your face. Bangs are flattering, but keep them long or side-swept
Square: If you have a square face, you'll want to play down your strong, angular jaw. Texture, in the form of curls or choppy ends, does this brilliantly. You can also get away with short, spiky cuts and long, sleek styles with layers that start at the jawline and continue downward.

Heart: Try cuts that fall just below the chin. Soft, graduated layers are a great bet because they make your face appear slimmer and tend to remove bulk and weight from the sides. Consider wispy and tapered ends. These de-emphasize the roundness of your face. Bangs are flattering, but keep them long or side-swept.

Triangular: With a triangular face shape the object is to narrow your chin and widen your forehead.
Layered hairstyles will help balance and soften your prominent jaw line.
Styles with layers that taper at the jaw line can also be flattering.

Diamond:Diamond face shapes need to balance a narrow chin, minimize wider cheek bones and shorten the overall length.

Whatever hairstlye you are looking for, you can be certian that Reflections of You Fairfax will accomplish it!
