What is a pixie cut?
The pixie cut is a short hairstyle that accentuates your facial features in a striking way. This hairstyle is characterized by its short length, usually at the back and sides, with slightly more length on top to add volume and texture. The pixie cut is known for its versatility; it can be worn either sleek and polished or casual and messy, depending on your personal style.
A timeless, iconic style
The pixie cut has its origins in the 1950s and 1960s, when actresses such as Audrey Hepburn and Mia Farrow popularized this hairstyle. What began as a bold and revolutionary choice quickly grew into an iconic style that has stood the test of time.
Today, the short hairstyle remains a favorite among women of all ages for its combination of elegance, simplicity and the fact that it makes a statement without much effort. It is a timeless look that perfectly suits the modern woman who loves a little spice and class.

If you are looking for something new and are not afraid to make a statement, this short haircut is a great option.

Maintenance of a pixie cut
Every pixie cut we create is customized. We take into account your hair texture, whether fine, thick, curly or straight, and adapt our techniques accordingly. The result is a haircut that not only perfectly matches your personal style, but is also easy to maintain and style in everyday life.
A pixie cut is quite low maintenance, but to maintain its clean lines and stylish look, regular trims are essential. We recommend coming back every 4 to 6 weeks for a touch-up. This prevents the style from growing out and ensures that your haircut always maintains its shape and freshness.
