Should You Get a Pixie Cut?

March 17, 2014 Beauty, Hair, Trends

Pixie cuts are on the heads of some pretty fabulous people at the moment – Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Hudson, and even Pam Anderson! But, will it work for you? Get the scoop on the pixie cut and how it can work to flatter your features.

Why You Should

Pixie cuts are fierce and fresh way to stand out! But, not all cuts are created equal. Depending on your face shape and hairline, you may want to consider the variety of pixie cuts you can go with:

  • Cropped pixie — think Mia Farrow or Audrey Hepburn!
  • Spiked pixie – the pixie cut made famous by Jennifer Lawrence
  • Pixie bob – longer length with extra volume and shape
  • Pixie with bangs – gives you versatile styling options
  • Loose pixie – perfect for curly haired ladies!
  • Asymmetrical pixie – edgy, modern, and gorgeous!
  • Pompadour pixie – short on the sides and long on the top

Pixie cuts are easily styled and look amazing with accessories (barrettes, headbands, oh my!). Whether you’re rocking a pompadour like Rihanna or spikes in the back like JLaw, your pixie cut can emphasize cheekbones and lengthen your neck!

Perfect Pixie Colors

Pixie cuts work well with both natural and color treated hair! In fact, coloring can add some extra dimension to those adorably short locks. Pops of color look fabulous and no one can deny the classic chic of a solid, dark pixie cut.

Why You Shouldn’t

Yes, all of us at Salon Helena have had our love affairs with long hair. But we wouldn’t be stylists if we didn’t love haircuts! Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the long locks and try something different.

Not sure what you’re going for? Not a problem! The stylists at Salon Helena can create a pixie cut that flatters your face and matches your style. If you do have an idea of what you like, it’s a great idea to bring in a picture of your style inspiration so we can create the cut you want. Call us today to book your appointment. 505.884.4955.
