Face Framing
Enhance your natural beauty with a face framing haircut — a precision layering technique that softly shapes the area around your face to highlight your best features. At PIED-DE-POULE in London, our stylists create personalized face-framing layers that bring dimension, movement, and effortless elegance to your look.
What is a Face Framing Haircut?
A face frame haircut is a strategic layering technique where shorter pieces are cut around the front of your hair to frame and accentuate your facial features. These layers typically start at cheekbone or chin level and gradually blend into the rest of your hair length, creating a soft, flattering dimension.
Unlike uniform layers throughout the entire head, face-framing layers concentrate on the front sections, drawing attention to your eyes, cheekbones, and jawline. This technique works beautifully with any hair length — from short bobs to long flowing locks — and can be customized to complement your unique face shape and hair texture.
Why Clients Love Face Framing Layers
Face framing layers are universally flattering and offer remarkable versatility for different face shapes.
Style advantages:
- Adds instant dimension and movement without sacrificing length
- Creates a polished look with minimal styling effort
- Works with straight, wavy, or curly hair textures
- Grows out gracefully between haircuts
- Pairs beautifully with hair coloring techniques like balayage or highlights
- Enhances the results of hair treatments by showcasing healthy, bouncy hair
How to Style Face Framing Layers
Styling face-framing layers is effortlessly simple:
- Blow-dry front sections with a round brush, rolling away from your face for volume
- Use a flat iron or curling wand to add gentle bends or waves to the layers
- Apply a light texturizing spray for piecey, lived-in movement
- Let air-dry naturally for relaxed, effortless texture
Quick styling tips:
- Always direct heat away from your face when blow-drying to create lift
- A small amount of smoothing serum prevents frizz and adds shine
- Tuck layers behind your ears for a sleek look, or leave them loose for softness
- Side-part your hair to emphasize the asymmetry and dimension
Your PIED-DE-POULE stylist will demonstrate personalized styling techniques during your appointment to ensure you can recreate the look at home with ease.

I visited PDP for the Balmain hair treatment (we tried to solve the problem of dry hair after lighting into blonde). Hairdresser’s name is Iia.
