Beard style chart: nine named styles, by length, blank face

Men choosing a beard and barbers explaining one use a beard chart to name and compare the styles. The nine pictures show faces with nine beard styles labelled, the same beard growing from stubble to full across five faces, and two blank faces to draw a beard on. Type a different subject or twist, such as red beard, and the page asks for it in the same three styles.

• naming a beard style to a barber
• comparing lengths before you grow a beard
• a blank face to sketch a beard on
• a barber shop wall chart

Frequently asked questions

Can I print them?

Yes. They are drawn charts with labels, not photographs, so they print as reference sheets.

Which styles are on the chart?

Full beard, Goatee, Van Dyke, Balbo, Anchor, Chin strap, Mutton chops, Circle beard and Stubble. The length row runs Stubble, Short, Medium, Long and Full.

What is the difference between the styles?

Line chart is barber's line art with each beard filled solid black. Pencil sketch is graphite with the beard drawn stroke by stroke. Old barbershop is a vintage engraving with fine cross-hatching in deep warm brown.

Can I ask for a different subject?

Yes. Type a direction, such as red beard, and the page asks for that subject in the same three styles. It is a request, not a guaranteed result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
