There are plenty of reasons to love a pixie cut or bob, from the low-maintenance upkeep to the ability to dress it up or down. Plus, who can deny the effortless trendiness of a chic short style?

She looks stunning
This lady is naturally beautiful, but with her new haircut, she’s jaw-droppingly gorgeous. It highlights her bold features, including her beautiful blue eyes and contoured cheekbones. The new look is 100 percent classy and modern.
From messy curls to sleek and stylish
This woman started with thick, shiny waves of hair. But it wasn’t framing her face — and all that hair is heavy. Now, she has a sleek asymmetrical bob that’s super trendy.
What a transformation
This lady didn’t just cut her hair. She opted for an entirely new color and style, too. The new look is sleek and flattering, and it goes perfectly with her long earrings.
She lost a lot of hair
Her long brown hair was beautiful, but it wasn’t styled — it simply hung down to her waist. She got a short chop to her shoulders and had her color touched up.
An amazingly bold look
This woman has natural, bold features. So, a bold haircut makes perfect sense for her. With her short hair and dark makeup, she cuts a striking figure…no pun intended.
The after picture is so fun
Long hair without any style is popular these days, but that’s not the only option. This girl got a short, fun chop that’s sassy and fun. It’s an eye-catching look.
She made a change to short and curly
This woman’s hair was long and straight. She made the choice to go with some effortless short curls that framed her face. It’s an excellent look for her.
Now that’s freestyling
This is one dramatic change. When she went to the stylist, she told them to do whatever they wanted — and they delivered. Now, her hairstyle is short and sassy.
Talk about a transformation
At first glance, you might not even think this is the same woman. The dramatic change from long and loose to a styled bob completely changed her looks. But it suits her wonderfully.
You’re never too old for a new look
This stylish lady is proving that fun hairstyles aren’t just for the younger generation. She embraced her silver hair and got a short style teased up into a pompadour. Now, she’s the coolest grandma on the block.
That’s adorable
This lady had beautiful long hair. But without any styling, it looked a little retro. With a color touch-up and a cut, her long bob looks playful and gorgeous.
A totally new look
Who said silver was only for old ladies? This younger woman went with an ash blonde color and paired it with a curly A-line bob that frames her face.
She looks completely different
Her long, straight hair wasn’t doing anything for her appearance. But her new look is full of bounce and movement that accentuates her best facial features, like her cheekbones.
Pixies are for curly hair, too
Some people say you can’t get a short haircut if you have curly hair but they couldn’t be more wrong. This lady is a perfect example of how pixies can look great with curly hair, too.
She’s killing it
Before, her hair was looking a bit washed up. The old color and different lengths weren’t doing her any justice. Her pixie cut brings out her natural curls, which looks amazing.
Her face says it all
This woman went for a complete change, and it’s enough to make your jaw drop. Her flowing, brown hair is gone, replaced by a sleek blonde pixie with long bangs.
What a gorgeous change
One of the greatest things about short haircuts is the way they bring out people’s best features. We weren’t able to see her face before, but the new cut frames it beautifully.
Now that’s a look
This lady already had a great “look,” but it was hiding somewhat behind all that hair. With her pixie cut, she looks sharp and stylish. And just look at her smile.
Short and fabulous
This woman’s face with delicate features and a small jawline is perfect for a short haircut. Her new style puts the “pixie” in a pixie cut.
She looks so chic
Her “before” style was cute, but it was a little boxy and it didn’t have a lot of movement. The shorter haircut is a great solution for those issues. She looks amazing.
Sleek and elegant
It’s amazing how much a haircut can change a person’s appearance. This haircut seems to have been designed for her. It brings out all her beautiful features and completely revitalizes her face.
What a smile
Styling your hair as you get older can be different, especially as you lose volume and flexibility. This gorgeous lady isn’t letting age stop her from looking her best.
She looks so fashionable
Her super-short cut looks amazing. It’s tomboyish and fun, yet feminine. Some women are just made for pixie cuts…this lady is one of them.
Retro adorable
This woman’s gorgeous blonde curls are reminiscent of the beach styles of the 1970s. But she also proves that short hair can look great with curls. What a fun look.
Short, cute, and smiling
Short haircuts can be a stylish way to restore hair after damage from color and treatment. She lost the pink and went with her natural color and a cropped style close around her face.
With her hair on her arm
This lady wasn’t afraid to make a super bold choice — she had all her hair chopped off. She left the salon with her hair on her arm and a short, swept style.
Simply fantastic
She looked pretty cute before her new cut, but afterward, she looks stunning. The shorter style has a lot of movement, and those bangs falling over one eye are perfect for her.
A smoking hot cut
This change from long to short and messy is ideal for her. It matures her look yet remains fun and playful. I love the side sweep and the way her hair falls over her face.
Those messy waves are stunning
Her long, dark mane of hair was beautiful, but her new cut is mature and eye-catching. Is anyone else getting some Parisian vibes? No matter what, she looks gorgeous.
I’m picking up some French here
This woman is showing off a retro hairstyle that hearkens back a century. Hairstyles go through cycles just like anything else. So, it’s not surprising we’re seeing these styles again.
Mature but fun
This cut is a great choice for her since it draws attention to her eyes and smile, which are undoubtedly her best features. Plus, it’s fun but also professional.
Whoa
Her long, curly hair was beautiful, but it was probably also uncomfortably thick and difficult to style. Her short cut is fun, youthful, and still curly, but a lot lighter.
Short hair is so trendy
She has beautiful hair, but sometimes, less is more. Her short cut looks attractive and youthful, with a lot of movement around her face through the sweep of her bangs.
But it can be professional, too
This woman is a professional musician, so her haircut must look super professional, too. The good news is that pixie cuts can look mature and work-appropriate.
Pixie cut, hoop earrings, jean jacket — ready to go
You wouldn’t think short hair could be so versatile, but it can. It can be dressed up or down, made youthful or mature, and styled for casual or formal occasions.
