Your Shape Is Measured
Temple width, cheekbone width, and jaw width all get checked against your face's length, using the same 68-point landmark map that powers every proportion-based tool on this site.
Free AI Tool — All 7 Face Shapes
Hairstyle Recommender
A hairstyle recommender is an AI tool that measures your face shape from a photo using facial landmark detection, then matches that shape against established styling convention to return the cuts that suit it, the cuts that work against it, and three named styles to bring to a stylist.
Which haircuts are working with your proportions, and which ones have been fighting them the whole time? Upload one photo and the AI answers that first — the styling advice attached to your result comes second, and it's written by people, not generated by the model that measured you.

How the Advice Is Matched
Salons have leaned on face-shape guidance for decades, long before any of this was automated. The idea underneath it is simple: hair is the one part of your look you can change every few weeks, which makes it the easiest lever for balancing proportions you were born with and can't otherwise touch.
A Goal Follows From It
A round face is chasing length. An oblong face is chasing width. Every shape has a goal like this once the measurement is in.
Advice Is Matched
Cuts that serve that goal get surfaced, and so do the cuts that undercut it — both sides matter if you're deciding what to avoid, not just what to try.
Named For Your Stylist
Three specific styles come back, worded the way you'd say them out loud in a chair.
The logic behind all of it reduces to three things: horizontal lines add width, vertical and diagonal lines add length, and volume pulls the eye to wherever it sits. Everything else on this page is that idea applied to your particular numbers.
One distinction worth being precise about: the model measures your face shape. It does not choose your haircut for you. The recommendation is styling convention that existed before this tool did, matched to the shape it read — and your hair's texture, density, and growth pattern carry just as much weight as your face does.
The Full Shape-to-Style Chart
A scan returns exactly one shape and its matched styles. Set against the other six, it's obvious why a round face and an oblong face get opposite advice instead of the same three haircuts.
Reading the other six is worth the two minutes it takes. It's the fastest way to notice that a style you already love might be doing double duty — flattering a different shape than the one you were told you had.
Before You Book
the Appointment
Face shape is a single input, not the whole equation. Four other things carry equal weight, and a photo can't measure any of them.
Your Hair Texture
Fine, straight hair won't hold the crown volume a round face wants unless a product or a perm is doing extra work to keep it there.
Styling Time
A cut that needs twenty minutes with a blow-dryer every morning is the wrong cut for someone who has five.
Growth Pattern
A cowlick at the hairline can make even a well-suited side parting sit wrong, and a double crown will fight any style that needs the top to lie flat.
Your Stylist
They see your hair in three dimensions, growth pattern and all. Bring your result in as a starting point for that conversation, not a printed instruction.

The Three Rules Behind All of It
Nearly every face-shape hair rule traces back to three observations. A horizontal line — a blunt bob, a straight-across fringe — makes a face read wider at whatever height it sits. A vertical or diagonal line — long layers, a deep side part — makes it read longer. And volume simply pulls the eye toward wherever it's placed.
Once that's in your head, you can reason out the advice for any shape without looking it up. A round face wants length, so it wants height at the crown and vertical lines running down it, and it specifically does not want a horizontal line cutting across its widest point. An oblong face wants the reverse of that, which is exactly why a heavy fringe works so well on it and does almost nothing for a round face.
It also explains something people notice but rarely articulate: the same haircut can look like two different haircuts on two different people. The cut isn't what changed — it's where its lines land relative to the proportions underneath.
What Face Shape Cannot Tell You
Texture is the biggest gap. A style built around crown volume behaves completely differently on thick, coarse hair than on fine, straight hair, and no photo of your face predicts which one you have.
Growth pattern is the second. A cowlick at the hairline can throw off a parting that suits your proportions on paper, and a double crown will resist any cut that needs the top section to sit flat — read the full parting guide if that's been fighting you for years.
Then there's the plain logistics of it: how much time you're willing to spend. The most flattering cut on the page is still the wrong one if it needs daily blow-drying and daily blow-drying isn't happening.
Using This Sensibly
Treat what comes back as a shortlist, not a verdict. If you've always liked a style this page flags as working against your shape, that preference is worth more than the rule — conventions describe what tends to work, not what works for absolutely everyone.
The more durable takeaway is usually the reasoning, not the specific cuts. Once you know your face is chasing length rather than width, you can size up any style against that logic yourself, including ones this page never mentions by name.
About This Tool
No licensed third-party API touches the face-shape reading on this page. Ahsan Fayyaz trained the model in-house on real faces and benchmarked it against other face-analysis tools, and it's the same measurement engine used across the site's other proportion-based tools. The styling guidance itself is written by people, matched to your measured shape rather than generated by the model. It's offered for informational and entertainment purposes only, not as medical, clinical, or professional advice — a licensed stylist who can see your hair in person is always the better authority on what to do with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
It measures temple, cheekbone, and jaw width against your face's length using 68 landmark points, sorts that into one of seven shape categories, then pairs the result with pre-written styling guidance for that shape.
No. It measures your face shape. The recommendations attached to that shape are established styling convention, written by people — the model's job stops at the measurement.
Two free scans a day, no account required.
Yes. Creating a free account raises the daily limit, and a paid plan removes the cap entirely.
No. It's processed by the in-house model and deleted from the server right after your result is ready. What's on your screen afterward lives only in your browser's cache — refresh the page and it's gone on both ends.
Use the reasoning instead of the shortlist. Once you know whether your face is chasing length or width, you can judge any style against that on your own, even one this page doesn't name.
Not directly — the model reads face shape, not hair texture, and texture is exactly the kind of thing a photo can't reliably measure. That's covered as a separate factor to weigh before booking, not folded into the AI's result.
No, and that's worth flagging yourself before your appointment. A cowlick or double crown can override a face-shape rule entirely, and it's invisible to a proportion measurement.
All seven recognized shapes are covered, each with its own set of matched and mismatched styles, viewable side by side.
Yes — the full breakdown across all seven shapes sits on the same page as your result, not gated behind a separate scan.
It can. An angled shot compresses jaw width on one side, and a filter that reshapes your jaw or cheeks feeds the model different numbers than your actual proportions — a plain, front-facing photo gives the cleanest read.
Barely, if at all. The measurement is bone structure — temple, cheekbone, and jaw width against face length — and a new haircut doesn't move any of that, even though the mirror looks different.
Yes. The model wasn't tuned to one narrow face type; it's built to read proportions across the full range of who uses the site.
Same underlying measurement, narrower question each. This page covers the whole cut. Hair Parting Guide and Fringe Suitability go deep on those two specific decisions once you already know your shape.
Yes — it exports as a styled image in either a square or a story-ratio crop, ready to post or send to your stylist directly.
No. Both daily free scans work without one; an account only comes into play if you want a higher daily limit.
It's tied to your measured proportions, not just dropped into one of seven generic buckets with identical copy for everyone in it — your specific numbers decide which guidance applies.
Because your result is a snapshot and the rules aren't. Learn the horizontal-width, vertical-length, volume-placement logic once, and you can evaluate a haircut you see years from now without running another scan.
No — bring it to them instead of over them. A stylist working with your hair in person, in three dimensions, can account for texture and growth pattern in ways no photo-based tool can.
