What Is a Pixie Cut?
A pixie cut is a short hairstyle where the hair is closely cropped around the sides and back, with the top adapted to create your desired shape and finish.
There are lots of different ways to wear a pixie. You might prefer a sleek and structured style, a softer textured finish, defined waves or something with more volume and movement. The right cut depends on more than simply how short you want to go. Your stylist will consider your hair texture, density, growth pattern, face shape and how you want to style your hair day to day.
Short hair can look incredible on Afro and mixed-textured hair, but creating the right shape requires an understanding of how textured hair behaves. Our team considers your natural curl pattern, density and growth pattern when creating your cut. This helps us create a shape that works with your hair rather than fighting against it.
We can also advise you on how to maintain your pixie between appointments and which styling techniques will help you recreate your preferred finish at home.

Relaxed or Natural Pixie Cuts?
A pixie cut can be created on both relaxed and natural hair. The best approach will depend on the finish you want and how you prefer to manage your hair.
Relaxed pixie:
Relaxed hair can create a smooth, sleek and structured finish that is relatively straightforward to maintain with regular appointments.
Natural pixie:
A pixie cut can also be designed around your natural texture, allowing curls and coils to become part of the finished look.
If you’re unsure which option will suit you, we can discuss your hair, lifestyle and desired finish during your consultation.
How Long Does a Pixie Cut Last?
Short hair needs regular maintenance because even a small amount of growth can change the shape of a pixie cut.
How often you need a trim will depend on how short and structured your style is, how quickly your hair grows and how precise you want the shape to remain. We’ll advise you on the best maintenance schedule for your individual style.
Your pixie doesn’t have to look the same every day.
Depending on your hair and the cut, styling options can include:
- Sleek and polished finishes
- Finger waves
- Textured looks
- Soft curls and movement
- More defined, structured styling
Our aim is to create a cut that gives you options while still being practical for your everyday routine.
Thinking About Going From Long Hair to a Pixie?
Going from long hair to a pixie can feel like a huge decision.
That’s why a consultation is an important part of the process. We’ll talk through the look you have in mind, what will work with your hair and how much maintenance you’re happy to commit to.
If you’re nervous about making such a big change, we can also talk through different lengths and shapes before you decide exactly how short you want to go. The goal is for you to leave feeling confident about your new style.
