I began by finding out from my client what her needs were. This helped me make some suggestions on how to achieve them.
The hair at the nape of the neck was cut into short layers.
I worked my way up the back and sides cutting along the natural shape of the head.
The top section of the hair was cut into a short choppy shape but slightly longer than the sides and back. Texture was achieved through the scissor-point cutting technique. This gives the pixie cut a softer, more natural look.
For the perimeter and around the ears I angled my scissors following the contours of the head.
Finally, the hair was then mainly blast dried and a brush was used to guide the hair in the desired direction. I applied a small amount of wax to break up and give texture to the pixie cut
Short pixie cuts
A short pixie is a short hairstyle that is typically cut close to the head for a more dramatic look. It is a classic style that has been around for many years. This look can be a bold choice to reflect your individuality and desire for change. A short pixie cut is a great choice for those who want a stylish yet low-maintenance hairstyle. It can also boost your self-esteem by helping you break free from the norm. Finally, a short pixie is very easy to maintain and won't take up a lot of your time to style. All you need to do is use a good quality shampoo, conditioner and wax.
Long pixie haircuts
The pixie haircut does not have to be ultra short. It can have more length on the top and front. It's one of those cuts that can be adapted to suit almost anyone. Having length on top will allow Claudia to customize the haircut to suit a wide range of face shapes. The long layers on top will make it possible to style in different ways such as curly, asymmetric, textured or sleek. If you're seeking a bold transformation to your hairstyle without sacrificing length, then the long pixie is a great option.
