Eleven questions about your proportions, your hair and your morning routine. You’ll get your face shape, the cuts that suit it and why, an honest answer on bangs, and the lengths worth considering. No email, no sign-up.
Most people are a blend of two. The quiz weighs your answers and tells you which one is dominant — but a consultation will always beat a questionnaire.
Length is around one and a half times the width, with the jaw slightly narrower than the cheekbones and a soft curve all the way round.
Oval is the shape most cuts are designed against, which means very little is off the table. The real question stops being "what suits my face" and becomes "what suits my hair and my morning".
Roughly as wide as it is long, with full cheeks and a soft jawline that has no hard corners.
Build height above the crown and keep weight off the widest point of the cheek. Vertical lines read as length; horizontal ones read as width. Anything that finishes right at the jaw is the one to avoid.
A strong, angular jaw with corners, a forehead of similar width, and a length close to the width.
Soften the corners rather than hide them — a square jaw is a genuinely striking feature. Waves, curved layers and side-swept pieces around the jaw do more than length alone.
A wide forehead and cheekbones narrowing to a delicate, often pointed chin.
Add visual weight low — around the jaw and below — to balance the width up top. Chin-length and collarbone-length cuts both do this well, and this is the shape curtain bangs were made for.
Cheekbones are the widest point, with a narrower forehead and a narrow, often pointed chin.
Add width at the forehead and at the jaw, and keep bulk off the cheekbone. Bangs are unusually useful here, and chin-grazing layers fill in the lower third.
Noticeably longer than it is wide, with a straight jaw and forehead of similar width — sometimes called oblong.
Work horizontally. Width at the cheekbone, waves, blunt ends and bangs all shorten the face visually. Long, flat, one-length hair does the opposite.
Texture, density, growth pattern, how your hair sits at the nape, where your cowlick is, whether you part it and how much time you will realistically give it in the morning all matter at least as much as your proportions. A quiz can narrow the field. It cannot see your hair.
Bring your result to a consultation and treat it as a conversation starter. If the cut you have landed on is not right for your hair, you will be told — that is the most useful thing a stylist can do.
By appointment
Bring your quiz result and a photo of your hair on a normal day. Twenty minutes of conversation saves an appointment’s worth of guessing.
