You have an oval face if the length of your face equals about 1.5 its width. Your probably have an egg-like outline, with a gently rounded jaw. Such faces have a well-balanced look, one that is considered by many to be the ideal face shape. Though this is largely true more for women than men, anyone with an oval face shape can enjoy the great versatility that comes with this look.

Indeed, most any look is going to go well with an oval face. This gives you the opportunity to experiment more until you find something you really like. The only thing to avoid is a full-length fringe, as it can give your face the appearance of being rounder than it is.

Further, if you have a particularly strong facial feature, look for ways to draw it out with your hair; got good bone structure? Look for a style that accents your chin. Do you get a lot of compliments about your eyes? Try to draw attention to them.

You have a wealth of options at your disposal, so consult our hair salon in Bellevue if you need any help settling on your next look.

You have an oblong face if your face is longer than it is wide, and you have a long, straight cheek line. When selecting a hairstyle, your object is to enhance your width while minimizing the appearance of length. You can accomplish this with the following strategies:

• You are served best by short or medium-length styles that have longer top layers, but not much height. Examples of such styles include graduated bob cuts, or a wedge.
• Alternatively, consider a chin or shoulder-length style that turns under or kicks out from your face.
• If you’re going for a longer length, try a layered look that adds body. A wavy or curly texture will serve well to soften the long, straight lines of your face.
• When it comes to parts, a side part is your friend. Avoid middle parts.
• It’s a good idea for you to always wear bangs. In particular, straight-across bangs will help to add width.
• Avoid wispy, chin-length looks that have no body.

If you have an oblong face, Geena Moon’s Bellevue hair salon can help to find the perfect hairstyle for you.

A square face is characteristic of a strong, broad forehead and an angular jaw. Women with square faces generally want to seek out hairstyles that soften the jawline. If you have a square face, here are some rough guidelines as to what kind of style will work best for you:

• Short and mid-length hair is your friend, especially if you can achieve a rounded look with wispy ends.
• Wispy hair falling forward over your face serves to soften your jawline. Alternatively, try wearing bangs that sweep to the side.
• Any style that adds height to the crown is a strong choice.
• Avoid a blunt bob, especially ones that sit at chin length with straight and heavy bangs. This will give your face a boxy appearance.
• If you’re parting your hair, stay away from middle parts with solid bangs.
• A short hairstyle with a square look to it will work against you.

According to in-the-know stylists in the fashion world, there are three major trends that are due to emerge as we go into 2016. These trends are as follows:

• Pinned Hair: You can achieve a sharp, modern look by using pins to give yourself a deep part down the middle of your scalp. Try looking for the standard bobby pin in a color that matches your hair for the most effective aesthetic.
• Braids: A good, thick braid that gives you the look of a deep part that falls against the side of your forehead has a strong, fashionable look. Alternatively, consider wrapping a thick braid around the crown of your head, pinning it into place.
• The Wet Hair Look: Simulating the look of wet hair can give you a sleek, post-modern aesthetic. Consider the use of a flexible styling gel to give you a wet look that lasts throughout the day. Pairing this look with the right makeup will give you a truly dramatic appearance.
