How do I try on a pixie cut with my own photo?

Upload a clear, front-facing selfie. The studio on this page is pinned to the pixie cut, so you just press generate and download the result.

Is the pixie in the preview short or long?

A classic short pixie, cropped around the ears and nape with texture on top. For a longer fringe, try the Sideswept Pixie from the gallery.

Can men try the pixie cut AI?

Yes. Switch the studio to Male and a men's pixie-length crop is rendered on your photo. The gallery has an example.

Is the pixie cut simulator free?

Sign in for 10 credits, which covers one generation. Comparing a pixie with a bob or a crop uses 10 credits per extra look from a plan.

Will a pixie cut make me look older?

Usually younger: it lifts the face and shows off the eyes. A very severe, flat pixie can look harsh, which is why texture on top matters. Judge the preview on your own face.

Pixie Cut SimulatorThe boldest short cut there is. Try it on your face before the stylist does.

A pixie is short enough that your ears, neck and cheekbones all become part of the haircut. People who love theirs call it the best cut they have had; people who regret it usually never saw it on themselves first.

This pixie cut simulator crops your hair at the ears and nape and leaves light texture on top, while keeping your face, skin and lighting exactly as photographed. What changes is the hair, and only the hair.

Who a pixie cut suits

Oval and heart-shaped faces
Balanced features and a narrower chin carry a pixie easily. Keep a little length at the fringe if your forehead is wide.
Big eyes and defined cheekbones
With nothing around the face, your features take center stage. A pixie is the fastest way to make eyes look bigger.
Round faces: add height
Volume on top and a side-swept fringe lengthen the face. A flat, rounded pixie can add width, so compare the sideswept pixie in the gallery.
Thick or very curly hair
Dense hair puffs out at pixie length unless it is thinned. Curly pixies look great but need a stylist who cuts curls dry.

Living with a pixie

Trims every 4 to 6 weeks
A pixie loses its shape faster than any other women's cut. Quick neck and ear cleanups in between keep it sharp.
Two minutes to style
A pea-sized amount of paste and your fingers is usually enough. Drying time drops to almost nothing.
Grow-out through a bob
Expect about a year to reach a chin-length bob, with regular shaping so the back does not turn into a mullet on the way.
