Pixie Cuts first gained popularity in the 1950s when actresses Audrey Hepburn and Jean Seberg both wore the hairstyle to boldly reject the long waves of their silver-screen counterparts. Therefore, the pixie became a synonymous symbol of nonconformity and empowerment, according to Vouge. While still remaining a symbol, the pixie cut has gained massive traction and popularity once again, in Summer 2025. This time the pixie is known for its versatility, edginess and low maintenance, according to Elle.

The Whimsical Pixie

If you want to be daring, this summer and go really short, try the Pixie. This hairstyle is one of summers hottest trends. "The pixie is having a moment," said Eddie Parra, senior stylist at Benjamin Salon in NYC, according to Refinery 29. This summer the pixie is taking on a whimsical feel. "It's all about short, soft layers, hugging your head shape with longer pieces around the face," Parra said.

The Undercut Pixie

The undercut pixie is a traditional pixie cut but with a bit of an edge. The sides or back (or sometimes both) are shaved or clipped super short (think clippers, not scissors), while the top stays longer and textured, according to Cosmopolitan

The Bixie Cut is part bob, part pixie, so it is the best of both worlds. Light, airy, and packed with personality, it keeps you cool while delivering a playful yet edgy summer look. Add sun-kissed highlights or pastel tones for a seasonal twist, according to perfect.com

The Curly Pixie

Let your bouncy curls shine, it’s playful, cool (literally), and full of personality, according to perfect.com
