Learn How to Open or Close the Face 

A subtle shift. A powerful transformation.

 

This Matters Because 

When you know how to open or close the face, you're able to create harmony between haircut and human — making your work more intuitive, more personal, and ultimately more impactful.

   Craving More?

  • After you open the face, gently vogue the hair with your hands—shift it left, right, forward, and back.
    This movement reveals where weight naturally wants to live and shows you whether the face is truly balanced from multiple angles.
    If the haircut holds its intention while moving, the design is working.
