The popular feminine pixie cut is an alluring short-length cut for women of any age. It has an elegance that you don’t quite get with regular pixies.

Jennifer Korab, a salon owner and hairstylist from Hillsborough, NJ, shares some tips. “With pixie cuts, you don’t have to do it all in one appointment,” she points out. “Go shorter gradually so it’ll be easier to envision which length you’re comfortable with.”

Your face shape is vital when deciding whether to get a pixie haircut. “Taking your face shape into consideration assures that the cut is tailored for you,” she says. “The layers of a pixie haircut balance out the angles of your face and frames your features in the best light.”

Your hair type is another aspect to consider. Some hair types will not work with a pixie cut. “Ask your stylist if a pixie cut suits your hair type, facial shape, and lifestyle before getting the cut,” she suggests.

Styling comes easy with women’s pixie cuts. A drawback to this cut is its upkeep. They need trimming every 4-6 weeks to keep the shape of the haircut.

Pixie haircuts draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones. “With more focus on your face, you’ll be able to try more makeup looks and bolder styles,” she explains. “If you’re feeling dragged down by your hair, a pixie cut might be the lift you’re looking for.”
