This is not true. I am pretty average looking (big nose) but have a round face and long neck and pixie works really well for me. When I cut my hair, I got the most hair related compliments I have ever had in my entire life.

I think the key things for pixie to work for you (in order of importance) are:

- round face shape including not large jawline
- long neck
- thin or average weight
- thin/fine bone structure
- cute, pretty face

It does require more maintenance, in that you have to go in every 6 weeks for trims. But it makes up for it in the ease of styling it in the morning. I color my hair, so I'd be going in that often for root touch-ups anyway.

Growing out is really only a pain for a little while, if you have a good stylist. You have to get the sides longer, and then you just cut it into a short bob that you grow out. I've done it several times and its not that bad. Although I might never grow it out again. The older I get, the more flattering the pixie is on me.

Thanks for the name. Did he help you figure out your style? Or did you already know what you wanted? I am ready for a big change to short, but I don't know what. I know a few styles for sure I don't want! Would he be good to help me figure it out? How much is a cut? Also looking at Ira Ludwick salon. Gets very good reviews.

Why on earth do you think OP cares what men think?

Go for it! Do you have a stylist you really trust? I love the look. I wish I could do something like that, but my hair is curly with a tendency to frizz and I would look insane.

And you can't be overweight. Overweight + pixie cut = frumpy.

Agree that you have to have the attitude to pull off a short hair cut (and the right clothes and makeup, too) - then it can be stunning and stylish.

But most of us don't look like Halle Berry. She would still look good with NO hair.

Not the OP, but I like that. I am so tired of long ratty ass hair and want to go short again, but not super pixie short.

Every time I grow out my hair, I regret it. I hate hair maintenance, I hate having hair in my face, and I always just end up pulling it back or pinning it up. So why bother having long hair? Cute pixie all the way.

Found this helpful tip in Marie Claire:

http://www.marieclaire.com/beauty/a14442/will-short-hair-suit-you-find-out/

Some women with strong features (strong nose, etc.) can still look amazing with a pixie cut, in my opinion. Face shape is part of the equation, but a lot of it is also confidence.

I have a pixie and I've had it for 15 years. I get sick if it, but I don't have pretty hair when I grow it out. It just looks fly away and random. Fortunately the pixie works well with my face and it looks feminine. If it didn't work, I would surely have a craggy ass pony tail. It depends on your face shape, features and your hair type. If I could I would have flowing beautiful hair, but I can't so I am daring to look different with a pixie.
