Most people have a mental image of what the Lord Jesus looks like from pictures and movies, but the truth is, no one knows! We only have vague references in Scripture to his facial appearance, such as the following one:
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. (Isa 53:2)
Jesus was less than stunningly handsome, according to that! 
(The reason is so people would be drawn to the Lord Jesus, who has the words of eternal life (John 6:68) over TRUTH, not over his physical appearance.) Another small detail about Jesus is that he had a beard, as was typical in that day and culture. Men had beards as is shown all through the Bible. The following verse has been applied to the Lord Jesus and fits how he was treated before his crucifixion:
I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting. (Isa 50:6)
A Man of Sorrows
The Lord Jesus was also a man of sorrows:
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isa 53:3)
That means Jesus was not walking around smiling and laughing as he has been wrongly portrayed in some Jesus movies! But remember, his physical characteristics are trivial to his message and his mission for mankind! Jesus has done so much for our salvation, redemption and everything else spiritually, he has over 100 titles and name which reflect who is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Looked Much Different In John’s Vision
The Apostle John had a vision of the glorified Lord Jesus and he appeared much different than he did while on earth:
And among the lampstands was someone “like a son of man,” dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. (Rev 1:13-16)
Later in Revelation, Jesus appeared in John’s vision as a slain lamb (Rev. 5:6).
Long Hair For A Man Is a Disgrace
Since Paul wrote that long hair is a disgrace for a man, we can also assume that Jesus never had long hair:
Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. (1 Cor 11:14,15)
Shroud of Turin
Some have said the image of the man of the Shroud of Turin is the Lord Jesus after his crucifixion. If that is true or not, it should have absolutely NO effect on the Christian. With the Bible, we have final authority and all God wanted us to have for guidance, etc. for our earthly life. We don’t need to consult any outside source for any spiritual reason, and we certainly don’t need to have the details about what Jesus looked like when he walked the earth! What we need to know is what does God want from us and then do it. Among other things he commands all people everywhere to REPENT (Acts 17:30), for it is not God’s will that anyone should perish (2 Pet. 3:9).
