Consider the variety of pixie style haircuts available today before you go to a stylist. The pixie hair style has become a generic term for any short, layered cut, so you have more choices than you've ever had before.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Look at your facial features and decide what you like the best. Choose a pixie haircut that highlights that feature. For example, choose a soft wispy bang to draw attention to your eyes.

  2. Step 2

    Take the shape of your face into account. Go super short and sleek if you have a heart-shaped face. Opt for a side part and a bit more length if your face is oval or round.

  3. Step 3

    Ask for textured layers to help fine or thin hair hold its shape and look thicker and fuller. Consider thinning your hair if it's super thick to avoid a helmet look with a pixie hair cut.

  4. Step 4

    Find a photograph of the pixie haircut you want and take it with you to the salon. Look through fashion magazines and hair style magazines, or find a picture of your favorite celebrity haircut to show your stylist.

  5. Step 5

    Discuss your expectations with the stylist before he cuts your hair. Explain how you'll part your new pixie hair cut and how you'll style it to get a haircut you'll be happy with.
