Short cuts

• Textured French crop (men's cut). Sides and back: low fade, #1 to #2 blended up. Top: 4-5 cm, point-cut for texture, pushed forward into a short blunt fringe. Finish: matte clay.
• Classic side part (men's cut). Sides: scissor-over-comb or #3 taper. Top: 5-6 cm, combed to the side; part on the natural cowlick side. Finish: cream or light pomade.
• Chin-length bob (women's cut). Blunt cut at the chin, all one length. Slight graduation at the nape so it tucks under. Side or center part.
• Crew cut (men's cut). Top 2–3 cm with a slightly longer fringe; sides tapered #1 to #3.
• Bubble bob (women's cut). Chin length. Soft internal layers for a round, lifted outline; bevel the ends under. No fringe. Round-brush blow-dry.
• Box bob (women's cut). One length at the jawline, cut blunt and square with no layers so the bottom keeps its width. Deep side part, no fringe.
• Edgar cut (men's cut). Sides and back: high taper from #0 to #2, tapered neckline. Top: about 4 cm brushed forward; cut the fringe in one straight horizontal line mid-forehead and line it up. Matte finish.

Medium-length cuts

• Korean comma hair (men's cut). Sides: scissor-cut short, tapered at the neck. Top and fringe: 9-11 cm so the fringe reaches the eyebrow. Curl the fringe inward with a round brush or a light perm.
• Middle-part curtains (men's cut). Grow the top to 10-12 cm; layered sides to cover the upper ear. Center part, ends cut soft so they fall away from the face.

Long cuts

• Shoulder-length flow (men's cut). Grow to the shoulders. Long layers, ends texturized; keep weight at the bottom. Trim every 8-10 weeks to keep the shape.

Weaker fits

The catalog marks Modern quiff, Textured faux hawk and Pompadour undercut as a weaker fit for a long (oblong) face. Face shape is a starting point, not a rule.

The card records the look you want and starting measurements; your barber checks and adjusts the final cut. The picture is illustrative.

FitMyFace hair previews are approximations, not predictions of how your hair will lie after a cut. Ordinary hairstyle try-ons perform face analysis on-device. The optional AI previews (hair and glasses) send a photo to Cloudflare; your consent is the one "I agree" on the scan screen, and a switch on the results turns them off. FitMyFace is for adults 18 and over and is not available in Illinois. For haircuts, a 500 px square of your photo, face included, goes to our AI (Cloudflare) and is deleted right after.

Questions

How does FitMyFace decide which cuts suit a long (oblong) face?

Each cut in the catalog has a list of face shapes it suits and shapes it does not. This page lists the cuts whose list includes long (oblong). It does not rate your face.

Can I check one on my own photo?

Yes. Open any cut below, or use the button above, and the preview is made on your own photo. It is a preview, not a promise of how your hair will fall.
