What Is a Pixie Cut?
The pixie cut is a timeless short hairstyle defined by its cropped length and versatility. It’s ideal for anyone seeking a low-maintenance yet high-impact look. At Haste Hair, we craft each pixie with precision to complement your facial features, texture, and lifestyle.
This style has roots in the 1920s and has evolved over decades—from elegant Audrey Hepburn looks to bold modern variations. Whether you prefer edgy, tousled, sleek, or soft, the pixie cut offers endless room for personalization.
Why Choose a Pixie Cut?
A pixie cut is more than a trend—it’s a statement. Here’s why it’s worth considering:
- Time-saving: Perfect for busy schedules.
- Face-enhancing: With your hair cropped short, your eyes, cheekbones, and jawline take center stage.
- Highly customizable: From soft fringe to dramatic angles, there’s a pixie for everyone.

FAQ
Is the pixie cut easy to maintain?
Yes, the pixie cut is low-maintenance. While it does require regular trims every four to six weeks to maintain its structure and shape, its short length significantly reduces the styling time in your busy morning routine.
How do you style a pixie cut?
For a sleek look, slick your hair back or use texturizing mousse or spray to give the pixie cut a tousled appearance.
Does the pixie cut work with all hair types?
The pixie cut works well with wavy, curly, and straight hair, but it depends on the type of cut you choose and your hair’s natural texture.
Does the pixie cut grow out quickly?
The pixie cut does not grow quickly, but it grows smoothly with strategic trims and layers. It can easily be transitioned to a bob or a shaggy style.
Does a pixie cut make your hair look thicker?
When the pixie cut is well-layered, it can make your hair look thicker and fuller.
Does the pixie hairstyle suit any face shape?
We can tailor the pixie cut to suit any face shape. For example, it can add volume to the top and lengthen a round face, while a textured pixie hairstyle can soften a square jawline.
