BaldWhat to tell your barber
“I’d like a goatee connected to my mustache. Please shave the cheeks and sides of my jaw completely. The beard should form a symmetrical frame around my mouth, a little longer on the chin.”
Tip: show the result you made in Mane too. A description plus a picture is the clearest brief.

About Goatee
In a goatee, the mustache runs down past the corners of the mouth and connects to the beard on the chin, forming a frame around the mouth. The cheeks and sides of the jaw are fully shaved. The length can range from short to slightly longer, and symmetrical, crisp edges are the most important part of the style.
On a round face, it creates a vertical focus in the center that lengthens the face. On square and diamond faces, it highlights the chin. It’s a good solution for patchy cheeks, since the beard stays where it grows densest. It pairs well with short hairstyles, especially a buzz cut or fade.
Does a goatee work on a patchy beard?
Often, yes. For most people, the beard grows densest on the chin and mustache, which is exactly the area a goatee uses, while shaving removes the patchy cheeks.
How do I choose between a goatee and a short boxed beard?
A goatee focuses on the center of the face and leaves the cheeks bare; a short boxed beard covers the whole jawline. Trying both on the same photo side by side is the clearest way to decide.
How many credits does it take to try Goatee in Mane?
Each CONFIRM costs 1 credit and creates one image. Picking options and browsing uses no credits; a credit is only used when you press CONFIRM, and it’s refunded automatically if the generation fails. You can combine a hairstyle, color and beard in the same CONFIRM. During the beta, credits are bought in the app and the same balance works on the web.
