Beard Styles for Oval Faces
An oval face is slightly longer than it is wide, with cheekbones as the widest point and a jaw that tapers gently into a softly rounded chin. Because every zone of the face is in proportion, almost any hairstyle, beard, or pair of glasses works — the goal of styling an oval face is simply not to hide its natural balance.

How to brief your barber
