Finding a haircut you that you actually like shouldn’t be complicated.
But for a lot of blokes, picking a new style feels like guesswork. Especially when you’re juggling work, gym, weekend BBQs, and the Perth heat drying everything out by lunchtime. The good news? You don’t need to overthink it. Your face shape already tells you what will look sharp.
At Barbers Culture Crew, we’ve spent three generations helping Ellenbrook men choose cuts that work with their natural features. Here’s a simple guide to help you narrow down your next look – then walk in and let us sort the rest.
Oval Face: The Easy-Going All-Rounder
If you’ve got an oval face, congratulations – almost every style looks good on you.
Best styles:
- Textured messy crops
- Modern slick-backs
- Low or mid fades
- Scissor cuts with natural movement
Avoid:
Nothing major, but extremely heavy fringes can hide your features.
Why it works:
Oval faces are naturally balanced, so you’ve got the freedom to play.
Square Face: Strong Jaw? Strong Style.
WA blokes with a square jawline can rock structured cuts that show off those angles.
Best styles:
- Skin fades with a neat top
- Side parts with clean lines
- Short crops with texture
- Tapered cuts that highlight the jaw
Avoid:
Wide, heavy sides – they can make the face look boxy.
Why it works:
Clean edges complement strong bone structure.
Round Face: Keep It Lean and Clean
If your face is more rounded, the goal is to add height and reduce bulk on the sides.
Best styles:
- High fades or skin fades
- Pompadours or quiffs
- Textured tops with lift
- Crops with slightly longer fringe
Avoid:
Buzz cuts or uniform length, they’ll make the face look rounder.
Why it works:
Height sharpens the silhouette, giving your face more definition.
Diamond Face: Angles That Deserve Balance
Diamond-shaped faces have sharper cheekbones and a narrower chin.
Best styles:
- Medium-length textured cuts
- Swept fringe to soften angles
- Scissor cuts with natural width
- Side parts with movement
Avoid:
Cuts that are too tight on the sides.
Why it works:
You want balance at the temples and softness through the top.
