Trendy, short, spiky haircuts for women over 60 are fiery and feisty with a retro touch. The spiky cuts flaunt a youthful radiance by canceling out harsh facial lines. It’s an avant-garde spin on the classic pixie haircut.

Harold Guadalupe, a hairstylist from Riverview, FL, explains, “It’s for older women who prefer easy-to-style haircuts that have a bit of attitude. Short haircuts can make us feel exposed, so it’s vital that you feel confident all the time.”

Guadalupe shares that versatility in the upkeep and styling of this cut is quite a challenge. “Finding ways to soften some areas and spiking certain areas simultaneously as the hair grows is hard,” he says. “A detailed cut needs full attention, daily styling, and frequent salon visits to maintain its shape.”
