#1: Ear-Length Bob

An ear-length bob is a cute hairstyle for short hair. Women who prefer shorter cuts will love the mysterious yet romantic edge that this style provides.

#2 Fresh Undercut

Show off that side undercut with a little pinned-up action. Try Kevin Murphy BODY.BUILDER Volumizing Mousse for flexible fullness and hold. This look is suitable for round, oval, or square-shaped faces. This style works best on medium to thick hair.

#3 Balayaged Undercut for Thick Hair

#4 Short Asymmetrical Hairstyle

This look is perfect for those looking to add an edge to a pixie style, creating a refreshing look. To top it all off, you can brighten your look with a golden tinge.

#5 Dimensional Cute Haircut

#6 Slightly Stacked Bob

This look is very trendy, sophisticated, and sexy at the same time. It can be very conservative but also very modern. This is a very popular haircut that will never go out of style. It can vary depending on the angle and how elevated and stacked it is cut. I recommend this style for various hair types, face shapes, and lifestyles. I always say it’s how you carry yourself and your self-confidence that can make the haircut look amazing and stand out, regardless of face shape or hair type.

#7 Cute Layered Haircut

This look is chic, stylish, and amazingly cute. My favorite thing about this look is the layers in the back. It looks like ocean waves at night! The type of client for this style is pretty much anyone who’s low maintenance, from your stay-at-home mom to your on-the-go businesswoman and even your rockstar chick hitting the stage.

#8 Short ‘n Spicy

This look is short, spicy, sassy, and classy. It is shorter than the typical bob yet longer than a pixie. My favorite thing about this adorable haircut is that it looks amazingly straight, but when curls are added, it elevates the look to a new level! It is a haircut with personality. This look is for someone who has fine to medium-structured hair with a little natural texture! I recommend this cut for someone who is used to putting a little, though not much, effort into styling each morning. This cute haircut looks great on most face shapes.

#9 Undercut Pixie

I would describe this look as edgy while still being soft. My favorite thing about this cut is that while it is short, it is still very versatile! You can play with the lengths at the top and create cute, fun looks with braids, twists, and little clips/bobby pins. You can style it down with a soft bang or up and back for a sleeker look.

This cut can work for all hair types! No one likes bulk on the sides. An undercut has a much shorter length on the sides as compared to the top. The great thing about it is that you can have it customized to your individual look. It can be extreme or soft and subtle. The best thing to do is to start out a little longer and work your way shorter. This gives you an idea of what length will work best for you. You can ALWAYS go shorter! This cut is great for anyone who doesn’t want to spend a ton of time styling their hair or just anyone who loves a short, sassy cut. Undercuts are so much fun!

#10 Trendy Pixie

This hairstyle is a trendy, cute pixie cut. I love everything about this haircut and style, but my favorite is the color! To create this look, I used #wella HL 12G on the top and 4NG on the sides with Olaplex. She is 90% grey, so we went for full coverage.

#11 Low Maintenance Cute Bob

The bob style is timeless. I love that it can be achieved in different types of hair and tailored to different lifestyles and personalities. I recommend this look to any lady that lives on the go. My girlfriend travels quite frequently and this style helps her get ready fairly quickly in the mornings. With this style, she is not required to blow dry with a round brush, but instead, she can use her hands to achieve a tousled look.

#12 Rainbow Pixie

This is a rainbow pixie color melt. One of my favorite things about this look is that even though these are “unnatural” hair colors, it looks like she was born with it. Depending on how she parts it, different colors will shine through and it will look like a different hairstyle. This type of color is for anyone who is a little creative and fun.

#13 Dramatic Bob

I would describe this look as a cute, classic a-line bob with a more dramatic angle. What I love about this look is that it is a classic style yet modernized due to the exaggerated angle.

#14 Cute Simple Bob

This look is timeless, classic, and chic because of the clean modern lines. What I love about this style is that even though it is a structured cut, it has a lot of movement and softness with the lightly textured ends. This look will never go out of style. The bonus about this look is that it works for all hair types and face shapes. Because it is a “lob,” it frames the face in a perfect place.

#15 Beachy Lob

I would call this look a long bob (lob) or textured bob. My favorite thing about this look is that you can switch the style easily without taking too much time. I recommend this look for fine hair types that don’t have a lot of density. This cut would give volume and movement, making it easy for the client to do it at home.

#16 Sexy Razor Cut Bob

This look is an edgy razor-cut bob. The ends are very textured, removing the bulky line. My favorite thing about this look is that it can be worn straight or curled with an iron. It can even be air-dried with a little product for texture. This look is very versatile. This cut is ideal for any woman wanting a cute modern twist to a classic look. The triangular bob has many variations. This variation with a razor adds a little more edge.

#17 Wash & Go Beauty

My favorite thing about this look is how the cut opens her face and the color accentuates her eyes and face shape. This style can be good for any hair type. It can be adjusted and customized for the face shape it needs to fit. She wanted a wash-and-go look with minimal styling needed, so this was perfect for her!

#18 Polished Cute Pixie

I would describe this look as a polished pixie. It’s so structured, smart, cute, and chic. I think my favorite thing about this look, and cutting pixie cuts in general, is how the shortest possible cut on a woman can be so highly soft and feminine, so much more so then a ponytail! A pixie can be beautiful on any hair type or face shape! I think the days of feeling like a person’s face is too full or too round are finally over. A strong stylist can and should create a short cut for any client that is ready to give it a go!

#19 Shoulder Length Wavy Haircut

I would describe this look as a cute shoulder length bob with soft, cut-in texture. I love this look because you can style it in several ways, keeping it versatile and on-trend. The great thing about a long bob like this is that it compliments almost every face shape.

#20 Inverted Bob with Highlights

This is a slightly inverted bob. I love this haircut for its versatility. The inverted bob looks modern and agrees with many different face shapes and hair types. This cute hairstyle is great for so many people, from fine and straight like the photo, to messy textured hair! It’s a great haircut to look put together with minimal daily effort.

#21 Cute Short Haircut with Bangs

This edgy yet natural look was inspired by 90s supermodel, Linda Evangelista. My favorite thing about this look is the versatility of how it can be worn. With just a slight change in styling, you can easily take this textured look to something more sophisticated and sleek. This style and cut is perfect for the woman who wants something a little fun and funky, and someone who is willing to take a few extra minutes to create an undone style. It will work on all face types. Women with thicker, coarser hair will have to take a few extra minutes to flat iron the hair as needed.

#22 Garcons Tomboy Haircut

The Garcons Cut is a male line with short sides that is not outlined. I decided to leave a soft fringe to give the model’s face softness. For a Garcons Cut, I would use a matte paste during the day because the texture is very important to flatter a short haircut. I recommend a short cute crop like this to anyone who wants to radically change their image. This cut and style look best on an oval, slender face.

#23 Tapered Undercut Pixie

This is a pixie cut with an edge and tapered sides. I love the flow of the lines because it directs the eye around the head and allows movement, even when the hair is too short to create its own. Any woman who is ready for a new look can wear a pixie, however, for this specific look because the design is added, someone with a more conservative job might not be the best option. I recommend it for any young girl looking for something new and edgy or for the girl who might have a non-regular 9-5 job. The best part of a pixie cut is that there are easy ways to create one that will fit any client’s personality.

#24 Cute Short Sleek Bob

I would describe this haircut as crisp and clean. It has an edgy side to it, but can also be very classy and easily maintained, which is always best for my clients. If cut correctly, these haircuts can be achieved on most clients. It will appear different for every client, however, as no person’s hair is the same!

#25 Cute Textured Bob

A simple description for this haircut in one word is TEXTURE! Without having to do much, this haircut always shows texture with lots of layers, however the hair still looks full and thick. This look would be great for someone with medium to fine texture hair as this cut creates the illusion of fullness.

#26 Cute Short Hair with Bangs

For this look, we decided to go with a box bob. The undone look of the texture put into this cut along with the color is my favorite part of this look.

Think about several things like hair density and texture for starters. This particular box bob was done on very fine hair, so we were able to cut it bluntly and then rough dry it with my hand. I finished it by layering a texture spray throughout.

#27 Long Pixie Haircut

This look is a non-traditional pixie with disconnections, giving it a versatile look. It can be worn in many ways, slicked back with setting lotion or worn with texture using a paste or pomade. This is definitely a look for someone who does have a couple of extra minutes in the morning to style, especially in the case of thick hair. It’s fun. trendy and great for any age. The long pieces in the front allow this haircut to suit many face shapes, which is also a plus! And finally, a cut that anyone in any lifestyle can pull off!

#28 Short Layered Pixie

The texture is the answer when it comes to being playful with your style. So, I decided to take her short and create a ton of movement within the cut while keeping the perimeter soft and wispy to retain a more feminine vibe to the cut.

My biggest advice for someone who is looking to go short is to think of maintenance. Short hair is a ton of fun and takes minutes to do, but it requires you to do it every day. Short haircuts need to be shaped every 4 weeks to maintain a style, so make sure to prebook with your stylist. Invest in a good product from your salon and try it in multiple ways.

#29 Short Cute Chin Length Cut

This is a textured, chin-length bob. This cut would look great blow dried straight or left natural since the texture I put in it is designed to enhance natural wave. This is quite literally one of the easiest cuts to rock! It’ll encourage movement in fine/limp hair, and thicker/wavy girls will love how it air dries! It can also be worn a little longer if the chin length is too short! Super versatile!

#30 Cute, Short Chic Waves

Not really a pixie and not quite a bob, this chic short hairstyle pairs perfectly with a natural wave.

#31 Cute Ombre Crop

This look is a copper ombré! I love the blend of colors and how her cute haircut and curls add a fun texture to the look! Keep in mind that using color-safe hair care is very important! This is also a great color for someone who wants the best of both worlds, having a darker color but still blonde without much maintenance.

#32 Adorable Chin-Length Layers

This chin-length hairstyle features a mix of long, blown out layers and choppy layers.

#33 Pomp it Up Faux Hawk

#35 Cute Platinum Crop For Girls

This ultra-blonde cropped hairstyle plays with texture and an elongated fringe for styling versatility. It is a perfect short haircut for girls because it is very flattering. The bangs help frame facial features, and the layering gives a fuller look. Use a straightening iron to create a soft wave on the fringe.
