Thinking about a pixie cut? It’s more than just a hairstyle; it’s a statement. The pixie cut is perfect if you’re looking for something that’s low maintenance but still has plenty of personality. Whether you’ve got fine hair that needs a little volume or thick hair that you want to lighten up, the right pixie can work wonders. One of the key things to consider is your face shape and how different lengths and textures can enhance your natural features. And don’t forget about styling—adding a bit of mousse or texture spray can completely change the vibe of your look. Ready to find the perfect pixie that suits you best? Let’s check out all the stunning options to make sure you walk out of the salon feeling fabulous.
#1 Pixie with Soft Layers
This pixie cut features soft, feathered layers for a more feminine, polished look. The layers add lightness, making it a great option for finer hair, while the side-swept bangs keep it soft around the face. It’s a simple cut that’s easy to maintain but looks chic.
#2 Layered Pixie with Thick Hair Volume
This layered pixie is designed to manage thick hair, with lots of texture and movement through the layers to keep the volume under control. The long top layers can be styled sleek or messy, making it versatile but easy to maintain with minimal styling.
#3 Messy Bixie Haircut
A blend of a pixie and bob, this messy bixie cut has tousled, textured layers that create a casual, laid-back vibe. It’s great for those with wavy or fine hair looking to add volume. The uneven lengths and wispy ends keep it modern, though it requires some effort with a texturizing spray to hold the shape.
#4 Spiky Pixie with Short Sides
This spiky pixie gives a bold, edgy look with short, tapered sides and a voluminous top. Ideal for thick hair, the spikes add height and texture, making it great for square and round faces. It does need regular styling with strong-hold gel to maintain the spiked shape.
#5 Soft Short Pixie Haircut
This soft pixie cut in a dusty lilac tone brings both femininity and edge. Short layers with slight texture give it movement without feeling choppy, and the delicate fringe adds softness around the brows. Great for fine to medium hair types and especially flattering for cooler skin tones. The pastel color is playful but high-maintenance—expect to tone it often. On the upside, the overall cut is very low-fuss and wearable every day.
#6 Inverted Pixie Haircut
A modern inverted pixie with stacked layers at the nape and longer sweeping strands around the front, giving lots of movement and shape. Works best on straight or slightly wavy hair with medium density. The angled cut elongates rounder face shapes while the feathered front pieces soften the jawline. It’s easy to style with a flat brush or light mousse. The only downside? You’ll need consistent shaping every few weeks to maintain the silhouette.
#7 Blonde Highlights on Pixie Haircut
This close-cropped pixie is enhanced with bold, chunky blonde highlights on a dark brown base—great for adding visual texture to fine hair. The micro fringe is edgy but softens the forehead just enough. Perfect for oval or heart-shaped faces, and the added contrast in color draws attention to the eyes. It’s a fun, youthful cut but keep in mind: the highlights will need regular toning to avoid brassiness over time.
#8 Pixie Haircut with Side Shave
A daring pixie with a shaved side and textured top brings in major edge while keeping things wearable. This look suits confident personalities and works best with straight to slightly wavy hair. It emphasizes bone structure—especially cheekbones and jawlines—and flatters oval and round face shapes. The contrast between the buzzed section and longer top gives volume and drama. It’s bold but requires frequent upkeep on the shaved section to stay crisp.
#9 Pixie Haircut for Women Over 50
Elegant and timeless, this silver pixie is ideal for women over 50 who want something stylish yet easy to maintain. The layers are feathered for movement, and the side-swept fringe lifts the eyes and cheekbones. This works well for fine hair and oval or heart-shaped faces. It’s one of those go-to cuts that looks polished with minimal effort. The only watch-out is keeping that silvery tone bright—use a violet shampoo once a week to fight yellowing.
#10 Edgy Pixie Haircut
With deep red color and jagged layers, this edgy pixie screams confidence. The choppy fringe adds texture and gives the illusion of thicker hair—great for those with fine to medium density. Perfect on oval or heart-shaped faces, the piecey styling brings a lot of movement despite its short length. It’s easy to manage but may need a dab of styling wax daily. The red hue pops, but be ready for more frequent color upkeep.
#11 Long Pixie Haircut for Square Faces
This longer pixie with swooped bangs and soft peachy-pink tones is perfect for square faces—it breaks up the angles and brings a youthful glow. The color adds playfulness, while the side-swept layers create soft movement. Ideal for fine to medium density hair and oval to square face shapes. Blow drying with a round brush will give it that signature lift. The downside? Fashion color needs maintenance every 4–6 weeks to stay vibrant.
#12 Thick Hair Pixie for Black Women
A tapered pixie tailored for thick, textured hair offers sharp definition while staying soft and wearable. This style showcases dense hair beautifully, with a clean nape and volume through the crown. The side-swept fringe flatters a variety of face shapes and draws attention to the eyes. Minimal styling is needed—just a touch of mousse or edge control. It’s especially flattering for women with round or heart-shaped faces looking to go short without bulk.
#13 Pixie Haircut for Women Over 60
This wispy, textured pixie works beautifully for women over 60 with fine or thinning hair. The soft choppy layers give movement and height, making the hair appear fuller. The light blonde tone adds brightness to the complexion and camouflages gray regrowth. It’s a practical wash-and-go option but still stylish. One challenge is maintaining the shape—regular trims every 4-5 weeks are key to keeping the airy finish fresh.
#14 Long Brown Pixie Haircut
A longer pixie like this one works wonders if you want the ease of short hair without losing that feminine feel. The rich brown tone adds depth, while the full side fringe gives face-framing softness. Works well on thick, straight hair, especially for those with oval or heart-shaped faces. The cut allows styling flexibility—from sleek to tousled. One minor downside: it can grow out into an awkward in-between phase, so trims help.
#15 Side Part Pixie Haircut
This asymmetrical pixie with a deep side part features blended blonde highlights through the fringe, giving dimension and movement. Ideal for straight to slightly wavy hair with medium density. The contrast between the shorter side and longer bang area creates structure and softness at once. It’s great for softening angular features or longer face shapes. You’ll want a smoothing cream or flat iron to keep it sleek day to day.
#16 High Graduation Pixie Haircut
This high graduation pixie has sharp structure and a sleek finish. The volume is concentrated at the crown with a clean, tapered nape and a long sweeping fringe that frames the face. Best for medium to thick straight hair, especially if you want a polished look with little styling fuss. It flatters round and oval faces by elongating the features. Just be ready for frequent trims to keep that crisp neckline neat.
#17 Very Short Pixie Shag Haircut
A bold, cropped pixie shag with choppy texture and a short fringe that adds edge without overwhelming the face. This cut suits fine, straight hair types and shows off facial features beautifully. The platinum blonde tone gives it a modern twist, though it does require upkeep. It’s great for oval or heart-shaped faces, but not ideal if you want to soften a square jaw. Styling is quick with a little pomade for piecey separation.
#18 Pixie Bob for Thinning Hair
A soft pixie bob with a subtle side part is a flattering choice for thinning hair. The cut creates the illusion of volume around the crown without sacrificing length around the ears and neckline. Great for women with fine or thinning hair, especially over 50, as it opens up the face while still feeling feminine. The feathered layering helps hide sparse spots. It’s low-maintenance but might need a light blowout to lift at the root.
#19 Wispelle Haircut
The Wispelle is a softly layered pixie with a tousled top and airy, feathered pieces that fall naturally. It works wonders on finer hair textures, especially if you want a low-effort cut that still feels styled. The long crown and tapered sides make it suitable for round and heart-shaped faces. It has a dreamy, lived-in texture that doesn’t need much more than a spritz of sea salt spray. Just avoid this one if your hair is ultra-thick—it may puff too much without thinning.
#20 Snipette Haircut
The Snipette is all about sharp detailing—short, precision-cut layers with a close micro fringe that makes a statement. This beige-blonde pixie sits just right on fine hair and works best on petite face shapes or sharp cheekbones. It’s great for anyone who likes a more fashion-forward, no-fuss style. That said, this cut does expose a lot of facial features and scalp shape—so it’s not ideal if you prefer softer or more forgiving silhouettes.
#21 Long Pixie Cut for Thin Hair
This long pixie is perfect for thin hair, with soft, wispy layers that add texture and dimension without weighing it down. The side-swept fringe helps frame the face, making it ideal for oval and heart-shaped faces. It’s a low-maintenance style but may require light texturizing products to keep volume throughout the day.
#22 Asymmetrical Pixie Bob with Wavy Texture
This asymmetrical pixie bob mixes the boldness of short hair with the softness of a wavy texture. The longer side creates an interesting contrast, adding a playful touch to an otherwise classic cut. Great for thicker hair, it requires some styling effort to keep the waves in place.
#23 Pixie Haircut with Thick Fringe
This pixie stands out with its thick, straight fringe that adds drama and fullness to the front. It’s a great choice for long or oval faces looking to shorten the appearance of their face length. The fringe requires regular trimming to keep its bold, sharp look intact.
#24 Shaggy Pixie Cut for Round Faces
This shaggy pixie features soft, tousled layers that are perfect for balancing out rounder face shapes. The texture adds dimension to fine hair, making it appear fuller. It’s an easy-to-wear style that works best with natural waves or curls for a more effortless finish.
#25 Choppy Pixie with Layered Top
This choppy pixie focuses on texture, with a layered top that adds height and volume to finer hair. Ideal for heart and oval faces, the cut gives a bold, edgy look while still being relatively easy to style with a bit of texturizing spray.
#26 Feminine Pixie Cut with Soft Curls
This soft, curly, feminine pixie is perfect for adding volume and movement to naturally curly or wavy hair. The longer curls at the top create a flattering frame for round and oval faces. It’s a low-maintenance style that enhances natural texture but may need a curl cream or mousse to define the curls.
#27 Straight Pixie with Sleek Finish
This sleek pixie is all about clean lines and smooth edges. Perfect for straight hair, the cut gives a polished, sophisticated look, especially on oval and square faces. While the sleekness is easy to maintain, the cut is less forgiving on wavy or curly textures without straightening tools.
#28 Pixie Cut with Textured Bangs for Long Faces
For those with longer face shapes, this pixie uses textured bangs to balance the proportions. The layers add dimension, making it a great option for fine to medium hair. It’s a bit more playful and relaxed than a classic pixie, but it does require regular trimming to keep the bangs in check.
#29 Korean Pixie Cut with Soft Fringe
This soft, Korean-inspired pixie has gentle layers and a light, side-swept fringe. Ideal for oval and round faces, the subtle layering keeps the look polished and feminine. It’s a low-maintenance option that gives you just enough volume without needing much product or styling.
#30 Blonde Pixie Cut with Choppy Layers
This blonde pixie is full of movement thanks to the choppy, feathered layers. Perfect for adding volume to fine hair, the cut works well for round and heart-shaped faces. The longer top creates a bold contrast with the tapered sides, though it does require daily styling to keep the layers lifted.
#31 Low-Maintenance Pixie for Wavy Hair
This low maintenance wavy pixie is perfect for those with natural texture. The soft waves create volume and body, making it great for square or round faces. This cut is easy to style—just scrunch with a bit of mousse or sea salt spray to enhance the waves. Minimal touch-ups needed.
#32 Pixie Bob for Thick Hair
This pixie bob is perfect for thick hair, blending the shortness of a pixie with the fullness of a bob. The soft layers add texture while keeping volume under control. It’s a good option if you want a fuller look but not the hassle of a long bob.
#33 Wolf Cut Pixie with Shaggy Ends
The wolf cut trend meets a pixie in this shaggy, edgy version. The intentionally messy ends add texture and give a rebellious feel to the cut. Great for heart and square-shaped faces, this cut shines with naturally wavy or textured hair. However, it can take some effort to maintain that lived-in, tousled look.
#34 Tomboy Pixie Haircut with Undercut
This tomboy-inspired pixie has a striking contrast with its short undercut and longer top layers. The pale blonde tone enhances the boldness, and it’s perfect for round or square faces. A little product will keep the top styled, but the undercut stays fuss-free.
#35 Androgynous Pixie with Spiky Top
For a bold look, this androgynous pixie features a spiky, textured top with short, cropped sides. Best for thicker hair, the spiked layers add height and drama. Styling with a strong-hold gel or wax will keep the spikes in place, but expect daily effort for maintenance.
#36 Razor Cut Pixie with Tapered Sides
This edgy pixie combines sharp, textured layers with neatly tapered sides. Ideal for fine to medium hair, the razor cut adds a choppy finish that keeps the style modern. It’s great for oval and heart-shaped faces, though requires regular upkeep to maintain the clean, shaved sides.
#37 Curly Pixie Haircut with Long Bangs
For curly hair, this pixie with long bangs offers a playful, bouncy feel. The structured curls frame the face, making it perfect for round and heart-shaped faces. The length in the bangs allows for flexibility in styling, though regular trims will be needed to keep the shape defined.
#38 Layered Pixie Cut for Fine Hair
This layered pixie adds volume to finer hair with soft, feathery layers. Perfect for those with thinner hair, it gives the illusion of fullness without requiring too much product. It’s a great option if you’re looking for an effortless, airy style. However, it might fall flat without light texturizing sprays.
#39 Messy Pixie Cut with Shaggy Layers
This messy pixie cut is all about movement and texture. The shaggy layers add volume to finer hair, while the tousled finish gives it a carefree, youthful feel. Perfect for round and heart-shaped faces, it balances out softer features. The ashy blonde highlights break up the natural gray beautifully, making this a great option for blending in grays with style. However, this cut requires regular styling to maintain its volume and shape.
#40 Short Pixie Cut for Oval Faces
A classic short pixie tailored perfectly for oval faces, this cut is sleek and low-maintenance. The subtle layers and tapered back create a polished look that flatters balanced face shapes. While the simplicity makes it easy to style, this cut might feel too structured for those seeking a more playful look.
