1. Pixie with Side-Swept Bangs

This pixie is short and chic, but the real standout is the soft side-swept bangs. It gives your face a flattering shape. And the back and sides stay cropped and easy, so you can style it in minutes. When you’re at the salon, ask for soft layering through the top and long bangs that sweep to one side.

2. Layered Pixie with Blonde Highlights

Blonde highlights add a touch of light and lift to this layered pixie. The pixie features a soft texture that makes your hair look fuller and more playful. It’s a great style for adding brightness and body without going super short.

3. Straight Blonde Pixie with Bangs

If you like clean lines, this straight blonde pixie gives you that sleek look. The bangs soften your face and can be styled straight across or slightly angled, depending on what flatters your features most. The precise, structured shape makes styling a breeze and keeps the look feeling sharp between salon visits.

4. Salt and Pepper Textured Pixie

This salt and pepper pixie shows off your natural hair color with confidence. The textured layers give it body and shape, especially at the crown. It’s a flattering style for older women, and it styles easily with a little bit of texturizing spray or styling paste.

This blonde pixie is full of lift, especially through the top. The lighter highlights brighten your look and make fine or thin hair seem fuller. Ask your hairstylist for crown layers and soft, blonde highlights that complement your skin tone.

7. Pastel Pink Tapered Pixie with Undercut

This pastel pink pixie is fun, stylish, and adds just the right hit of pastel color without being too loud. The short undercut keeps the cut low-maintenance, and the longer top allows you to style it with your fingers or do a quick blow-dry. Ask your stylist for a tapered undercut and soft pink on top that doesn’t wash you out.

8. Platinum Textured Pixie

This icy platinum pixie has lots of texture and attitude. The short layers give it volume, and the bright blonde tone makes a style statement. It’s especially flattering when the platinum shade is toned to suit your skin.

10. Highlighted Layered Pixie Bob

This style blends the low-maintenance benefits of a pixie with just a hint of bob length. The layers give it some volume, and the highlights add depth. At the salon, ask for a pixie bob with longer front layers and subtle highlights around the face.

11. Copper Brown Textured Pixie

Warm, copper-brown gives this pixie a glow that flatters your skin. The texture adds bounce and keeps things looking full. Since it’s cut quite close, be sure to get frequent trims to keep it looking sharp.

12. Silver Blonde Layered Long Pixie

This silver blonde pixie has a bit more length, which makes it easy to style in different ways. The layers keep it light and soft, never heavy. This wash and wear style blends beautifully with gray and gives your hair a bright, modern finish.

13. Cropped Auburn Pixie with Short Bangs

This cropped pixie packs a lot of attitude into a super short cut that looks fresh and feminine. The deep auburn shade adds richness, and the baby bangs draw all the focus to your eyes. The close-cut shape gives it a modern feel that instantly stands out.

14. Sandy Blonde Textured Pixie

Sandy blonde shades give this pixie a soft, natural look. The textured cut adds body and keeps your hair from falling flat. To get this look, ask your stylist for piecey layers and a soft sandy tone that works with your natural hair color.

15. Piecey Platinum Blonde Pixie

This platinum pixie has a choppy, piecey texture that gives it a cool style. The bright blonde lifts your look and adds contrast to your features. Ask your stylist for heavily textured top layers and a bright platinum color with a soft root shadow for added depth. (Use a little texturizing paste to shape it how you like.)

18. Ice Blonde Long Pixie

This cool-toned pixie looks fresh and quite fashion-forward. You can wear the longer top pushed back, parted to the side, or even styled forward for a softer look. Just note that the light shade can show root growth faster, so be ready for touch-ups if you want to keep it bright.

19. Salt and Pepper Tapered Pixie

This tapered pixie is easy to wear and shows off your natural salt-and-pepper blend. The cut keeps its shape well between trims and gives you volume up top. At the salon, ask for a soft taper around the ears and natural texture through the top to enhance your hair color.
