Well, it's time to start working with what you already have, which is great hair and a great face. Once you determine what your face shape is, then you can find a haircut that will emphasize your best features and really let your inner beauty shine through.

Here's a quick look at the different types of face shapes and what kind of haircut will look best with each one. Don't forget to find a picture to take with you when you go to your salon.

Oval face
If you have an oval face, think stars like Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson. Oval faces work with tons of different kinds of haircuts, so you can have a lot of fun. Make sure that you have layers that fall around your chin, your cheekbones, and your mouth. Layers will highlight different features, so pick your favorite one and then go for layers that will accentuate it.

Don't get any short layers cut around the top of your head. This will give you a lot of volume up top, which will make your face look really long. Also, if you have particularly thick hair, or it happens to be curly, then you will want to avoid blunt cuts. Otherwise you'll look like a pyramid.

Styles that are really popular for oval faces are shag cuts that are shoulder length, choppy and texturized bobs, and long, soft, wavy curls.

Heart-shaped face

If your face is heart shaped, you're in good company! Think Jennifer Lopez, Katie Holmes, Reese Witherspoon, and Rachel Bilson. There are a number of different cuts that you can get that will take the focus from your chin to other facial features, like your eyes and your cheekbones. Experiment with sideswept bangs. These will direct attention straight to your eyes and cheeks! Also, you will want a nice, strong part and hair that goes down at least to your jaw.

If you want to keep your hair long, then include some nice layers that rest along your cheekbones. If you want to go short, then keep the top layers longer. You want soft layers, not choppy ones.

Long or oblong face
Celebs who have your face shape are people like Sarah Jessica Parker, Giselle Bündchen, and Ashlee Simpson. Like them, you'll want a style that can shorten your face and make it a bit wider. The best way to do this is with sideswept and long bangs. Also, you can make your face look wider with a chin-length cut. If your hair is curly or wavy, you'll have an easy time adding width, as long as you avoid short layers on the top. Otherwise you'll just make your face longer!

A really popular style right now is really long layers. If you want your hair long, don't forget some layers around the face to soften the effect.

Round face
You have the same face as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kate Bosworth, Fergie, Oprah, and Cameron Diaz. Celebrate your good luck by getting a cut that hits right below your chin or gives you some top volumes. Think about soft layers that taper off into wisps. Also go for long or sideswept bangs, if you must have them.

Square face
Celebrate your jaw! Get a cut like Mandy Moore, Demi Moore, or Gwyneth Paltrow and emphasize that jawline! Go for a lot of texture with curly hair or choppy hair. You can also play with sleek styles, à la Gwyneth, or really short and spiky!
