Should I Get Bangs?
Few hair decisions feel as big — or as tempting — as getting bangs. One scroll through Instagram, one celebrity haircut, one bad hair day, and suddenly the question pops up: Should I get bangs?
As a hairstylist working out of PYT Studios in Saskatoon, this is a conversation I have almost daily. Bangs can completely change your look, frame your face, and elevate your hair cut — but they’re not always a spontaneous decision. Let’s break down who bangs work best for, what to consider before committing, and how to know if bangs are right for you.
The Appeal of Bangs
Bangs are powerful. They can:
Highlight your eyes and cheekbones
Soften facial features
Refresh your style without a major length change
Make your hair feel brand new
From curtain bangs to blunt fringes, bangs pair beautifully with everything from dimensional blonde and highlights to rich brunettes and lived-in colour. When done correctly, they can enhance both your hair colour and overall haircut shape.
Things to Consider Before Getting Bangs
1. Your Face Shape
One of the biggest factors in deciding whether to get bangs is face shape. The good news? There’s a bang style for almost everyone — it just needs to be customized.
Curtain bangs work well for most face shapes
Blunt bangs make a bold statement but require precision
Wispy or textured bangs are softer and easier to grow out
At Chez Schubert, every fringe is tailored — never copied directly from a photo.
2. Your Hair Texture & Density
Your natural hair texture matters more than trends.
Fine hair may need lighter, airier bangs
Thick hair benefits from internal texturizing
Cowlicks and growth patterns must be considered
A skilled hairstylist will assess how your hair naturally falls before cutting — because bangs should work with your hair, not against it.
3. Your Lifestyle & Maintenance LeveL
This is the part people often overlook.
Bangs require:
More frequent trims
Daily styling
Occasional touch-ups between haircuts
If you already love regular trims or stop in often for a hair cut, bangs might fit perfectly into your routine. If you prefer low-maintenance hair, softer or longer fringe options may be a better choice.
Bangs + Colour: What You Should KnoW
If you currently have highlights, foils, or are rocking a blonde look, bangs can actually enhance your colour.
Strategically placed highlights around the fringe can:
Brighten the face
Add depth and dimension
Blend bangs seamlessly into the rest of the haircut
When bangs and hair colour are planned together, the result is intentional and polished — not accidental.
What If I Regret Getting Bangs?
This is a valid concern — and one I take seriously.
That’s why consultations matter. As Alexander Schubert, my approach at Chez Schubert is always honest and realistic. If bangs aren’t the best option for your hair or lifestyle, I’ll tell you. If they are, we’ll choose a version that grows out gracefully and fits your long-term hair goals.
And remember: bangs are temporary — confidence is not.
