[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My theory is that American hairdressers are lousy and cutting short hair.  It takes more skill than cutting longer hair because each cut needs to be custom to the head shape and hair of the person.  They've also only ever seen the awful cuts that are ubiquitous on older American women, so I that's what they do.  I agree that it's often a terrible look, but I don't think the solution is going long.

I had an amazing pixie cut when I was living in France, but never could get it replicated in the US, even with photos of the original.  Now I have a wavy French bob, which is harder for hairdressers to butcher to cut than a pixie.  I do think short hair can look super chic.  I just think it's really hard to find an American hairdresser with that skill set.  By contrast, I saw beautiful and flattering short haircuts all over France.[/quote]

It's not the hair stylists... it's the person. Most people don't have the bone structure to pull off short hair. You need a more compact face, a smaller nose, strong cheekbones, etc. [/quote]
You'd be surprised how skilled stylists can match a modern looking short haircut to a face.  The cuts can be striking.  [/quote]

What kind of short haircut flatters a woman with more masculine facial features? I'm assuming we mean actually short here (not bobs).[/quote]
