Summary
The choice of a haircut is subjective and hinges on selecting a style that complements your facial structure while reflecting your personality and aligning with your lifestyle.
We had the opportunity to evaluate YOON Salon and were impressed by their thorough consultation, all while benefiting from their initial trial promotion for \$28!
YOON SALON REVIEW: Personalized Hair Styling Services
Bone structure is a crucial element when selecting a haircut, and it was enlightening to revisit foundational concepts from childhood regarding facial shape, and consider any changes that may have occurred over the years.
During our evaluation at the salon, professionals analyzed our foreheads, cheekbones, jawlines, and facial proportions to ascertain our facial structure. Most individuals can categorize into one of the following shapes: oval, round, diamond, oblong, square, or heart-shaped.
After consulting with the experts and reviewing free tips available on their website, we compiled their recommendations for cutting your hair:
THE OVAL
This shape is often recognized for its versatility, allowing most styles to be adopted. It is advisable to consider minimal layers for a beach waves look to enhance volume without elongating the face. Additionally, a shaggy fringe may be appropriate if conditions permit, or for a bolder statement, a blunt bob or pixie cut is encouraged.
THE ROUND
Individuals with round faces should aim to introduce dimension or length. A side fringe combined with a medium-length cut could be effective. For those preferring to maintain length, long layers initiated at the jawline with a middle part can elongate the face. Experts advise against shorter bobs; however, a pixie cut remains an option!
THE DIAMOND
Those with diamond-shaped faces typically have narrower jaws. They may consider a jaw-brushing bob or a pixie cut to create an illusion of a broader jaw. Softening techniques include curly or wavy layers framing the face or side-swept bangs.
THE OBLONG
An oblong face typically exhibits narrow characteristics. The recommended approach is to adopt a cut that broadens the face, achieved through long layers partnered with a center part and addition of volume via wavy or textured locks. A chin-length bob is also advisable; however, single-layer styles are not recommended as they do not enhance body or fullness.
THE SQUARE
Those with pronounced jaws likely possess a square face. To soften this feature, styles that incorporate length and texture are advisable, as well as side-swept bangs to elongate features and highlight cheekbones. Caution is advised against straight bangs, chin-length bobs, and center partings, which may accentuate the squareness of the face.
THE HEART-SHAPED
This facial shape generally features a broad forehead and tapering jawline. To achieve balance, a timeless lob is recommended to add volume to the lower half of the face. Long side bangs can reduce forehead prominence; however, straight bangs or center parting should be avoided, as they can create excessive fullness at the crown.
PICKING A HAIRCUT AT YOON THAT SUITS YOUR LIFESTYLE
Environmental factors, such as humidity, significantly influence the behavior of your hair and the most suitable hairstyle for you. Hair texture varies, comprising fine, medium, or coarse strands, thereby affecting various lifestyle aspects, whether you are a traveler, professional, creative, parent, or fitness enthusiast.
FINE HAIR
Fine hair does not denote thin hair; it refers to the characteristics of each strand. Dense populations of fine hairs can lead to rapid oiliness and quick drying. While styling can be challenging, professionals suggest a classic short bob or a mid-length textured bob; for longer styles, consider layers or a side-swept fringe to enhance volume.
COARSE HAIR
Coarse hair does not necessarily imply thick and luxurious tresses. It is possible to have varying thicknesses of hair composed of coarse strands. According to their website, coarse hair often retains style effectively due to its volume, making styles like a pixie cut, thick bob, or soft, layered longer hair advantageous.
MEDIUM HAIR
This is the most manageable hair type, making it ideal for a variety of styles. If you possess this hair texture, you are fortunate as it provides the flexibility to select a haircut that resonates with your personality, lifestyle, or local environment!
