What Haircut Actually Suits You? Hairlab X Mississauga Explains by Face Shape

What Haircut Suits Your Face? Hairlab X Mississauga Breaks It Down

Ever left the barber chair thinking, “This looked better on the model”? You’re not alone. The truth is, a great haircut isn’t just about following trends—it’s about what fits you.

At Hairlab X, located in Mississauga’s Heartland Town Centre, we don’t just give clean cuts—we help you find the one that works best for your face shape and style.

Understanding Face Shapes

Not all styles fit every face. Here are the six most common face shapes:

  • Oval
  • Round
  • Square
  • Oblong (Rectangle)
  • Diamond
  • Heart

If you’re unsure where you fall, don’t stress—our barbers at Hairlab X can figure it out in seconds during your visit.

Haircuts That Flatter Each Face Shape

Oval Face

You’ve got the most flexible shape—most haircuts work for you. Try:

  • Quiff
  • Slick back
  • Side part
    Avoid long bangs that hide your forehead.

Round Face

The goal is to sharpen and elongate. Try:

  • High fades with volume
  • Faux hawk
  • Side-swept crew cut
    Avoid bowl cuts or flat, rounded styles.

Square Face

Enhance your naturally bold features. Go for:

  • Undercuts
  • Textured crop
  • Modern side part with a fade

Oblong Face

Balance your length by avoiding height. Try:

  • Low fade with texture
  • Side parts
  • Classic taper
    Skip tall spikes or pompadours.

Diamond Face

Add width at the top and bottom. Great options include:

  • Messy fringe
  • Side part
  • Medium-to-long styles with wave or texture

Heart-Shaped Face

Your chin is narrower, so bring balance lower. Go for:

  • Fringe
  • Side-swept styles
  • Low fades
    Bonus: a short beard works well to balance proportions.

Pro Tips From Hairlab X Mississauga

It’s not just about choosing a style—it’s about how it’s done. A proper fade, clean edges, and beard detailing can level up any cut.
