Getting right to the answer, matte paper is usually better than glossy but luster or semi-glossy is usually best overall. This stated, there is no set rule for all industries. So, it is usually advised to investigate what is the norm for the industry you plan to use them in.
Glossy prints can have more contrast and can help the images stand out, particularly if most people use matte or luster paper. Matte finishes tend to hide fingerprints and other foreign stains much better. Luster paper is somewhere in between. So, it can offer the best of both worlds. Also, glossy photos throw much more light glare from them. So, under direct light they might be harder to see, especially if viewed at an angle where the light is glaring off it and back at you. Matte finishes avoid this reflection.
But again, these are not your only two options. A happy medium is luster, or lustre. This is a lightly glossed paper, so it pops more than matte paper while avoiding most of the fingerprint and reflection problems of glossy paper.

So, first, be sure you get a good high-quality headshot. The lower the resolution the more blurry or lower quality it would be.
A high quality print will have a resolution of at least ppi. The lower the ppi the less high quality your photograph will be. So how do you know whether your print will be high quality?
Divide the length of the photo in pixels, by the size you want to print it in in inches to find the ppi. Now that you know all of the factors to consider when printing your photos the last step is to put it all together. Second, is your photograph of the right aspect ratio to print in that size?
If not, would you lose any important parts by cropping it? And if you have any other questions about printing photos please do send me an e-mail.
