Not every beard suits every face. Learn how to choose the perfect beard shape for your face with expert grooming guidance from Barbers & Co., serving Glendale, Beverly Hills, and Granada Hills.
Much like a tailored suit, your beard should be designed for your face—not copied from the latest trend. At Barbers & Co., we don’t believe in cookie-cutter grooming. Your facial hair is an extension of your bone structure, your style, and your presence.
Whether you're visiting us in Glendale, Beverly Hills, or Granada Hills, here’s how our expert groomers help you identify the beard shape that works for you—not against you.
Before choosing a beard style, it’s essential to understand your natural structure. Stand in front of a mirror and take note of your jawline, cheekbones, and forehead proportions. Most face shapes fall into one of the categories below.
Your advantage: Most beard styles work well with this balanced shape.
Ideal beard: You have flexibility—try a full beard, short boxed, or even a stubble look. Avoid styles that overly elongate the chin, as your shape is already well-proportioned.
Your advantage: A strong jawline that conveys masculinity.
Ideal beard: Go for styles that soften the edges—like a rounded full beard or a goatee. Keep the beard slightly longer on the chin to elongate and balance the face.
Your advantage: Youthful, approachable features.
Ideal beard: Add definition and length with a beard that’s fuller at the chin and tighter at the cheeks. A Van Dyke or anchor beard helps elongate and create angles.
Your advantage: A prominent vertical profile.
Ideal beard: Avoid adding too much length to the chin. Instead, keep the sides fuller and shorter under the chin to balance the verticality. A beardstache or boxed beard works well here.
Your advantage: A distinct chin and wider forehead.
Ideal beard: Choose a beard that adds volume to the jawline, like a full or medium stubble beard. Avoid styles that accentuate a pointy chin or narrow jaw.
Even with a solid understanding of face shape, it takes precision to tailor a beard to your features. Our grooming specialists take into account:
Whether it’s your first beard or you’re redefining your look, we ensure the cut enhances—not hides—your natural structure.
At Barbers & Co., we combine design and detail to shape beards that elevate your look with intention. Don’t leave your beard to chance—let it be a reflection of your sharpest self.
