What beard suits me?
Your jawline decides. One selfie — clean-shaven or bearded — and we match the styles that fit your face.

We read your jaw and chin, then match the beard families that balance them.
Your jawline decides the beard
Beard advice is face-shape advice in disguise: a beard adds mass below the face, so what matters is where your face needs it. We measure your jaw width against your cheekbones, your chin shape and your length-to-width ratio — 478 landmarks, measured entirely in your browser — then match the beard families that balance those proportions instead of exaggerating them.
The rules behind the matches
Rounder, fuller faces gain definition from beards that add length below the chin — full beards and goatees. Strong square jaws are already structured: short stubble keeps the lines without widening them. Narrow chins (heart and diamond shapes) want fuller chin coverage to even out the taper. Long faces should avoid extra length and keep the cheeks fuller. These are the published barbering rules — we encode them, we don’t invent them.
Works shaved or bearded
The measurement reads your bone structure — jaw, chin, cheekbones — which shows through whether you are clean-shaven or already growing a beard. If you currently wear a beard, the analysis tells you whether your face would also carry other families, before you commit to a regrow or a shave.
See the beard before you grow it
Growing a beard is a weeks-long experiment; previewing one takes fifteen seconds. Every recommended style links into the Stylery Studio, where it is applied to your own photo with your face kept exactly as it is. Two looks are free when you sign up.
Questions, answered
Does it work if I already have a beard?
Yes. The analysis reads your bone structure — jawline, chin, cheekbones — which is visible through facial hair. You can check whether other beard families would suit you before changing anything.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The face measurement runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. Your photo never leaves your device.
What beard styles do you match against?
Five families that cover most real-world beards: short stubble, boxed beard, full beard, goatee, and mustache. Each is tagged against the seven face shapes using standard barbering rules.
What if my face suits everything?
Oval faces genuinely do carry most beard families — in that case the ranking reflects upkeep and definition rather than corrective fit, and the honest answer is: pick by the maintenance you can live with.
Can I see a beard on my own face?
Yes — that’s the point. Each recommendation opens the Stylery Studio with that beard preselected; upload a selfie there and see it photorealistically on yourself.
