Weaker fits

The catalog marks Buzz cut with fade, Chin-length bob, Blunt bangs, Bubble bob and Edgar cut as a weaker fit for a round 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 round 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 round. 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.
