Chicagoland and Kansas CITY areas, is globally recognized as a visionary
of beauty and style. We asked Tricoci for his advice on styles for particular
face shapes.
Round
Ginnifer Goodwin
Longer layers that fall just below
the chin really help to slim and
soften a round face. Bangs can
work too, but they need to be
more of a side sweep.
Avoid: Extremes! Like too short,
too spiky or too much volumeâ
with this shape. They tend to overemphasize
the roundness.
Square
Angelina Jolie
For a square face, long, soft layers
with a long side sweep work best
to soften the angles and give that illusion
of an oval face. Women with
a square face can go short too;
the key is keeping the cut longer
through the top.
Avoid: Although we're seeing it everywhere
these days, women with
square faces should steer clear of a
one-length, below the chin blunt cut.
Strong bangs and a center part can
also be problematic because they
only highlight the face's squareness.
Long/Oval
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oval is considered to be the perfect
face shape, so just about anything
goes with it-long, short,
straight or wavy. In fact, when we
teach our stylists cutting techniques,
we teach them how to
create the illusion of an oval no
matter the guest's face shape.
Avoid: Cutting the hair too short.
This can make the face look longer.
Heart
Reese Witherspoon
Women with heart-shaped faces
look fantastic in styles that feature
a longer fringe and a sidesweep
at the cheekbone. Both
techniques slim the face at its
widest point and emphasize the
jaw line.
Avoid: One-length styles with a
center part stress the width of
the face.
