I have a haircut appointment next month and saved several reference photos, but the cuts look quite different on the people wearing them. A few have long layers, so it is hard to tell what comes from the cut and what comes from the person’s features. I initially searched for personal color analysis because I was also thinking about a possible color change. That seems useful for a different decision, while my immediate question is about proportions around the face. I would like to show my stylist photos of my current hair, along with a few examples of the lengths I actually like. I would like to understand my face shape without treating one online label as a strict rule for every haircut. Comparing a couple of neutral photos might help, although the way my hair falls around the jaw changes the outline quite a bit. If you have compared cuts this way, which observations were useful to mention? I would rather discuss styling time and texture too, instead of expecting a face shape category to choose the cut for me. Any examples of helpful reference photos would be appreciated.
