The Hidden Factor That Defines a Great Cut

Updated: Dec 17, 2024

As you settle into the barber’s chair, what thoughts occupy your mind? You might be focused on the overall length, texture, or whether to keep the sides close-cropped or let them grow. While these factors are vital to your look, there’s another aspect you might be overlooking: the neckline. How often do people really pay attention to it? Most may think a tidy neck is sufficient, but the neckline significantly influences the definition and harmony of your haircut.

Choosing the right neckline to complement your hairstyle is like pairing an exquisite wine with the perfect meal.

There are three primary neckline styles you should familiarize yourself with: Square/Block, Round, and Taper (which follows the natural hairline at the nape, neatly trimmed with clippers or scissors). Picking the right neckline isn’t too complicated - just consider the dimensions of your neck, which typically correspond to your face shape.


For those with a lean, angular face and a slimmer neck, a rounded neckline can enhance fullness in the face. On the other hand, if you have a broader neck, a Block neckline can create a sharper, more defined look, making your neck appear smaller and tricking the eye.

The Taper neckline primarily mirrors your natural hairline, just cut shorter.

Be thoughtful when deciding between a Square/Block or Round neckline, as hair in these areas tends to grow quickly and can lose its shape within 2-3 weeks, making it look unruly 😀. If maintenance is a concern, a Taper neckline is always a solid option. This style follows the natural contours of your hair, giving you a neat finish.


Selecting the right neckline for your hairstyle is like adding wings to a tiger - it's a small detail that can elevate your entire look!
