A salon professional should NOT accentuate the narrowness at the temples and width at the jawline in what type of face shape?

• A. Pear
• B. Heart
• C. Square
• D. Diamond

Answer: (A)

Pear-shaped faces have a narrower upper portion (temples/forehead) and a wider jaw. Accentuation of the narrow temples and the wide jaw would deepen that bottom-heavy contrast, making the face look even more triangular. The goal for this shape is to balance the proportions by adding width up top and softening the jaw, so you’d choose styles that create volume at the crown and around the temples while avoiding strong emphasis at the jaw.
