Beard Styles for Square Faces
A square face has a forehead, cheekbones, and jaw of roughly equal width, finished with a strong, angular jawline — the feature this shape is famous for. Stylists usually soften the angles with waves, curves, and rounded frames, or lean into them for a striking, editorial look.

How to brief your barber
Say what you want in plain words: keep the neckline above the Adam's apple, define the cheek line naturally, and taper the sides where your face is widest.
