Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 Should square faces always try to soften the jawline?
Not always. Many square-face cuts look best when they lean into the strong jaw. The key is avoiding extra width that makes the whole silhouette feel blocky.
Q2 Are blunt cuts bad for square faces?
Blunt cuts at jaw level can overemphasize the jaw. Textured ends, taper, or movement usually creates a better balance.
Q3 Is a buzz cut too harsh on a square face?
A very tight buzz can be harsh, but a slightly longer top or a taper fade often keeps the look sharp without becoming severe.
