What changes visually
These are design effects to compare, not rules about who can wear this cut. Your preference matters more than a face-shape verdict.
- Shorter front layers create volume around the cheekbones and jaw.
- A long base keeps the overall impression of length.
- A round-brush finish makes the layer separation most visible.

03 / Ask clearly
A better salon brief
Set the shortest face-framing point and the minimum back length. Ask how the cut will look without a blowout as well as when fully styled.
04 / Useful limitation
What the preview cannot know
An AI image cannot assess hair density, elasticity, previous chemical services, shrinkage or how a cut behaves after washing. Use it to communicate a direction. Ask a qualified stylist or barber to judge feasibility and adapt the reference to your hair.
