What factor should be considered when determining the right haircut for a client?

When determining the right haircut for a client, considering the client's facial features is essential. Facial features help in creating a look that enhances the client’s natural beauty and suits their individual characteristics. Different face shapes—such as round, oval, square, or heart-shaped—call for different haircut styles that can either soften or accentuate particular features. For example, a layered cut may add dimension to a round face, while an angular bob could complement a square face.

While hairstyle trends can be appealing, they may not necessarily suit every client’s unique features. A stylist’s personal preference may lead to choices that do not align with what looks best on the client. Additionally, while the client's hair growth rate is relevant for maintenance and upkeep, it does not directly influence the selection of a haircut that flatters their appearance. Therefore, focusing on the client’s facial features provides a tailored and suitable haircut that meets their needs.
