Match the perfect beard style to your face shape. This guide provides essential grooming advice and trimming techniques to help maintain a sharp, defined, and well groomed appearance.
A strong, square jawline is a powerful feature, not a problem to be solved. The challenge is that a generic style can fight natural lines rather than enhance them. This guide breaks down the ideal options for men with a square face shape. We provide the exact words to use at our Chadstone studio to get a look designed for specific features and bone structure. At LoMax Barbers, we specialise in detailed and transformative haircuts tailored to the unique profiles of our clients in the Monash and Oakleigh regions.
This style provides height similar to a pompadour but maintains a more relaxed, messy texture on top. This is an excellent choice for individuals who have natural waves or thicker hair.
It is ideal for men who want a versatile, modern hairstyle that looks intentional without being too formal.
Vague instructions can lead to results that miss the mark. Here is how to ask for the texture required for this style.
This is a classic, short military style cut where the sides are faded tight to the skin. The buzz cut is even shorter and uniform over the entire head.
It suits men with a defined jawline who want a low maintenance, masculine look that emphasises the features of the face.
The success of short styles is all in the fade. A clean fade is essential for our standard haircuts when working with a square profile.
Maintain balance
Executes a razor-sharp finish on almost any style from a classic crew cut to something modern.
Heavy fringes: they hide the profile's natural symmetry.
Create angles and length
Builds a squarer appearance with height like a quiff to draw the eye upward, often using short on the sides and long hair on the top.
Soft, chin-length cuts add width to the widest part of your profile.
Soften the angles
Uses a Scissor Over Comb technique to create soft and textured layers that break up the hard lines of the jaw.
Very sharp and geometric cuts that can make the head appear boxy.
This is a high contrast hairstyle where the long hair on the top is completely disconnected from the very short, faded sides.
It is for anyone looking for a sharp, modern, and bold look that makes a face appear slimmer. It is a confident style statement.
This term is key to getting the look right.
Our team provides a personalised consultative experience to find the perfect style for your face shape. From sharp clean line ups to sophisticated scissor cuts, we’ll ensure you’re ready for any event.
This is a polished style focused on creating significant height and volume on the top. The hair is swept up and back for a refined look.
It is for men committed to a daily styling routine who want a classic look that balances the width of a square jaw.
Building a foundation first is necessary for this hairstyle.
This is a short cut with a fringe that sits across the forehead. The key is that the fringe is heavily textured to avoid a blunt appearance.
It is for men with a broader forehead or those who want a shorter, easy to manage style that still looks contemporary.
This is a timeless hairstyle where a clean, hard part creates a strong diagonal line across the top of the head. It is often the preferred choice for professional settings.
A great choice for a professional worker or anyone needing a mature, neat, and reliable style.
A cowlick is a section of hair that grows in a different direction. Fighting it is a struggle that is usually lost.
This is a shoulder length cut with subtle layers that encourage natural waves or curls to move freely, providing a rugged yet balanced look.
It is for men with naturally wavy hair who want a rugged look with longer hair that still complements their bone structure.
When considering longer hair, layering is key.
While every hairstyle on this list is a strong choice, we often recommend The Textured Quiff for most men with square features.
It offers a practical balance where the height makes a face look longer, while the texture softens the sharp features of the jaw and forehead. It is more versatile than other options, making it an ideal style to try first. It is a look that is hitting the mark for this face shape.
An expert will help you build a style that fits your unique features and lifestyle.
The Crew Cut or a buzz cut is a standout option for low daily effort. The very short length means it requires almost no styling to look sharp. However, you’ll want to maintain the look with regular visits to our Chadstone studio every 4-6 weeks to keep the fade tight.
A boxy result is preventable through the technique used on the sides. We will ensure a tight taper or fade is used to create a slimming contrast that accentuates the jawline. We will avoid leaving too much length on the sides, which prevents the square on square effect.
The Crew Cut and the Textured French Crop are two excellent options. They will work with the hairline rather than attempting to hide it. A high fade can be blended into the recession points, while a textured fringe can soften the appearance of the upper forehead corners.
Both can be extremely flattering depending on the goal. Short hairstyles, such as the Crew Cut or a sharp Undercut, emphasise the strong, angular jawline. Long hairstyles use soft texture and length to provide a contrast that softens angular features for a more balanced appearance.
