Beard shape should follow the jaw you have, not the jaw you wish you had. Extra length on a round face can make the whole head look shorter. A boxed line on a long face can make it look longer.
Quick rules
- Round face: keep the cheeks tighter and leave a little length at the chin
- Square jaw: a boxed outline echoes the bone — do not over-round it
- Long face: keep the bottom shorter and the sides fuller
- Patchy density: shorter is almost always cleaner than stretching a full Garibaldi
Bring a photo into the advisor, then book the beard service with a note for your barber. They will still cut by eye — the AI just starts the conversation in the right place.
