Face shape chart: seven shapes, how to measure, best haircuts

A face shape chart helps you find your face shape, the first step in choosing a haircut, glasses or a contour. The nine pictures show seven labelled shapes; one face with four measuring lines; and six shapes, each paired with a haircut that suits it. Type a different subject or twist, such as glasses or kids faces, and the page asks for it in the same three styles.

• finding your face shape before a haircut
• choosing frames for glasses
• a reference for a stylist consultation
• a starting point for contouring

Frequently asked questions

Can I print them?

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

How do I measure my face?

The measure picture marks four lines, labelled 1 to 4: across the forehead, across the cheekbones, across the jaw, and down the length of the face. Compare them with the seven outlines to find the closest shape.

What is the difference between the styles?

Line chart traces the shape in a bolder line. Soft tint fills each face in pale warm beige with teal measuring lines. Pencil sketch is a fine graphite drawing with light shading on the cheeks.

Can I ask for a different subject?

Yes. Type a direction, such as men's faces, 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.
