Why is it important to consider face shape when choosing a haircut?

Considering face shape is crucial when selecting a haircut because different face shapes can enhance or diminish certain features. By identifying a client's face shape, a stylist can choose a haircut that balances proportions and highlights the individual’s best attributes. For example, a round face may benefit from styles that add height and elongate the face, while a square face might look better with softer, layered cuts that round out harsh angles. This tailored approach ensures that the haircut not only aligns with the client’s preferences but also works harmoniously with their natural facial structure, resulting in a more flattering and complementary look.
