What we cut and why
Bang Trim + Face Frame means shaping and cutting everything in front of the ears to create a deliberate line that frames the face. Your stylist evaluates natural growth patterns, hair density and how pieces fall across the forehead and cheekbones. The focus is balance and movement rather than an overall restyle, so decisions prioritize the face-framing effect and daily manageability.
At Geneva’s in Portland’s Kerns neighborhood, the stylist will check symmetry, section what falls in front of each ear, and refine lengths to suit your face shape and routine. Because the appointment is narrowly focused, you'll see immediate, predictable results that help control fringe and side pieces without altering the rest of the haircut.
What to expect during appointment
Expect a short consultation when you arrive, where the stylist confirms which front sections you want shaped and how much length to remove. The process concentrates on hair in front of the ears: shaping, checking balance with your part and face line, and making small adjustments until the movement feels natural for everyday styling.
Because the service is compact, many Portland clients schedule it between errands, at lunchtime, or after a commute on I-84 or the MAX. The Pacific Northwest’s frequent rain can change how bangs settle, so regular trims keep the frame intentional. If you bike or ride transit, plan a short touch-up slot—this service fits into tight schedules without a full salon visit.
Who benefits from this service
This service suits clients whose hair naturally falls in front of the ears, people who want a clean face-framing edge, or anyone needing quick upkeep between full haircuts. Busy professionals, parents and event-goers in the Lloyd District or attending the Moda Center often choose it for fast, visible results that improve day-to-day styling without committing to a longer appointment.
Note that this is a focused shaping service, not a full haircut or restyle. For wider changes schedule a separate appointment. The Bang Trim + Face Frame is priced at $65 and typically takes 20 MINUTES, making it an efficient option for maintaining your frame between larger salon visits.
