Before you book

Short hair shows your face — bring photos of pixies on faces shaped like yours, and ask how often the cut needs reshaping (usually every 4–6 weeks).

Frequently asked questions

Will a pixie cut suit me?

Pixies flatter oval, heart and square faces particularly well, and they can add the look of volume to fine hair. If you are unsure, start with a long pixie — it keeps length around the face while you test the short-hair life.

What do I ask my stylist or barber for?

Ask for a pixie cut with soft texture on top and tapered sides, and say exactly how short you are willing to go at the back — “short” means different things to different stylists.
