So glad I found your channel.... I'm 64 and had 6 months of chemo and a stem cell transplant for leukemia last year. The day before my hospital "lockup", my hubby - who is a builder- cut my long curly dark hair off and "pixi" cut it.... My hair has finally grown back (straight) and is now at the "pixi" length again except it's thicker. I loved me when i was bald and so now i'll be keeping the short messy pixi hair - so easy and fun to look after. Thanks for your info , cheers from Australia
I found your videos a few months ago and they really inspired me to go short. I am 66 and had waist length hair at the beginning of the year, cut 5-6 inches off in January and last month went to a short pixie (undercut). My friends and colleagues were amazed and said it took 10-20 years off. I love it and the different ways I can style it. I love your videos and tips. Thank you!
I had long hair and went Pixie last year but had to go a long time without a cut. Saw this video and got a super short Pixie Friday. I have sags and wrinkles and my ears stick out. My hair grows weird in the back, but I don’t care. Love it super short! I look and feel sexy and I will never go back to long hair. I’m free!!
5 years ago I decided to let my hair naturally go gray. At the time I wore it mid length. It was a crazy yet fun process, I knew some people were wondering whatever was I thinking! But I knew. After it all grew out I went short and edgy. I’ll never go back! I have a unique and very chic look, and constantly receive compliments on my hair. I will say this…if you decide to go gray be sure to go edgy with your cut. This is a new day and at 68 I’m not ready to let myself go! Thank you Justin for loving short hair on older women and telling us why.❤
Thankyou. I feel the same. Past 40 years, i had very long hair. Two months ago, cut it, upto elbow level. Had been coloring since age 35. Now am 53, and fed up with the process repeating every two weeks. Am in the process of greying gracefully. Plan to make it short, when grey color reaches shoulder level
I did the exact same and get nice comments all the time, I never had compliments before because my hair is quite fine and longer just didn’t do much for me, short and grey is fab and people actually think I paid good money for the colour I am naturally. Can’t believe it after all the years of colouring! 🙄
I’m so glad I found your videos! I’ve always had thick, luscious natural red-auburn hair with just enough curl to be a little annoying but would look amazing using velcro rollers or a curling iron to define/smooth them (straightening took hours) and gorgeous medium auburn-red. Oh yeah, “big hair” girl here! In my culture, our hair becomes inherent with our esteem and identity, and everywhere I traveled across the world, people would swoon over my hair. But in 2018 I started getting really sick, my hair started feeling brittle and falling out (though until last year anyone who didn’t know me before wouldn’t have notice), and in 2019 I was finally diagnosed with several devastating diseases (lyme w/ 5 co-infections), but the kicker was severe toxic mold exposure from 3 different nasty strains. Even though I managed to significantly slow down the diseases’ processes, the mycotoxins still wreak havoc on everything and last year my hair started falling out so badly I only have maybe 20% left. Even though it goes through cycles of trying to grow back, now I’m nearly 100% silver/white on the top and sides, and the new growth comes in very kinky and super fine, like baby hair. I wear head wraps or turbans to hide the thinner areas (bare scalp peaks through) on top that screams at me. Every 3-4 months I’ll trim a couple inches off the length and try to trim my layers, just so it’s not too painful to brush/comb my hair. My boyfriend recently suggested I just cut it short, and the thought initially horrified me. I have been considering to start wearing wigs, but after looking online at styles/colors for human hair wigs, I was getting frustrated and came here to investigate having custom wigs made, and stumbled on your channel. After looking at all these short/grey options, there’s one I love that would work for my longer oval face and the model looks like she might have similar thinning patterns, and there’s another one I love too (short pixie?) but I think my bald patches wouldn’t work. I can’t wait to share with my boyfriend! I might even follow through with the threat I made my father when I was 16 when he had a fit over my mohawk, lol. I quoted the title of a favorite book of poetry back then, “when I’m an old woman, I shall wear purple (HAIR)”!! lol. I might even try a semipermanent lavender on my silver hair, lol! Thanks for the ideas and advice, now I’m going to see if you posted anything for us “silver-cougars”! lol
I love short pixie cuts, especially on hair with grey in it. It does take courage and also an excellent cutter. I don’t like the feel of styling product, but discovered if you take the attitude to go with whatever your hair wants to do on a given day, you can have a fun relationship with your hair and wear your Pixie with confidence.
Justin! Please make a video about short hairstyles and eye glasses, I find it hard to know what to do with the sides of my hair because I wear glasses. I love these types of informative videos. Thank you so much!
Thank you!!! Your channel has really helped me. I’m 52 and lost my hair to chemo. It came back much thinner. You’ve given me the confidence to continue to rock my pixie. Plus someone in the comments told me how to find a good stylist via Instagram and it worked! I kept getting cuts that just weren’t right - found someone closer to Cincinnati and she killed it. Gave me the “edgy, modern” cut I was wanting. It’s a drive but so worth it! I need to update my pic with my better style 😂❤
I, too, had chemo and lost my long blond hair. My hair grew in silver and thinner. I live in the Cinci area. Would you mind giving me your stylist's name and location?
@@justinhickox Just found your channel, and that is one of my concerns, too, so I'll watch for it. They used to have to thin my hair drastically until about ten years ago; now it seems to be going AWOL with increasing speed. At 81, I'm still enjoying my short look - same color (naturally) as the first long pixie, and similar style. Fortunately I've had a great stylist for the last 20+ years, and each time I leave the shop, I feel as if I've found myself again.
Great video. I have had long hair from my waist to a bob and after a while I felt frumpy. I cut my hair to a short undercut pixie and am 67. Love it so much it open my face, my cheekbones look lifted I feel younger. And able to wear it so many ways. To my surprise not only my friends love it (which they can be brutally honest) but have had complements. FYI I do like to experiment with my hair. 😊
I’m 51 and was going dye-free silver. About a year and a half ago, I got a short pixie. I loved it! I love mine very short, but I feel like I have a rather larger/round face and was worried about that. I was told by some of my friends that they could finally see my high cheekbones :) . I got some compliments, but since I used to have such long, naturally curly hair a lot of people were shocked and not so complimentary. I decided to grow my hair out again and am at a bob length now. One of these days, I’ll be going back to a pixie. I feel sassy and energetic with one. Sadly, my husband prefers long hair and I kind of felt a pressure to do what he likes. I’ve always had lush, bodacious hair and there’s a sort of pressure from family and friends to have long hair when it’s so thick and “good”. Why I care about other people’s opinions so much…I just don’t know. One day I will just do what I like and chop it off! My favorite cuts in this post are the #2 cuts, but I did do a faux hawk there for a while.
I get it, my hair is very long thanks to the pandemic but I’m ready to cut it off. All my friends say don’t do it, nobody had hair that long (it’s almost past my butt). I tell them I know why nobody has hair that long, because it is a career to take care of. I retired three years ago and my hair is my new career.
@@u4riahsc :) that’s great! lol , yes! It is a job in itself taking care of big, long hair! For me, I love my hair being 2-3 inches long at most. In 2020, my hair was to my pant-waist. It was a lot of hair and a lot of work, but people sure had negative opinions about it when I got it cut off. Wow. Not sure why people were fussed. I keep my long hair in a bun so much anyway.
If you have long hair and want to do a short haircut, but someone’s opinion meters to you, donate your hair to charity organization. There is a lot of organizations for kids and adults that will accept your hair with blessing. You will get what you want, make someone happy and nobody will judge you for your decision.
Please, Sir, I want some more. That was delicious! As a platinum silver haired 65 yr old who found her first white hair at age 16, I am inspired by your lessons. Thank you!🎉
Love this video so much! I've had pixies for years and never knew why some looked so much better than others. I do wish you'd do hair highlighting ideas for those of us still "going gray". I don't have pronounced gray hair it's just sort of blah. ♥
Justin I so enjoy your videos & straightforward way of explaining your rationale for particular styles. As a 68 y.o. Grey haired woman I have probably always looked better w/shorter hair but the times I've done it, I always want to immediately grow it out again! It's an interesting story how I came to finally grow my grey hair out in 2017-18! Thank you for all you do!❤
Don't let a hairdresser give you a pixie until you have pulled back your ponytail and looked at yourself from all angles, because it will expose all sorts of things you don't have to think about with longer hair.
This is very true! But I would say to keep in mind, that where you have volume in that pixie can modify the way certain facial aspects look. So while you might not like the way, some thing is shaped on your face when your hair is pulled back, it may not be an issue if the haircut is done to hide that or accentuate other parts of your face.
Agree with both of these comments. A ponytail can be a harsh style if pulled back too tight and you can get lots of volume and spunk with a short pixie!
Hi Justin, well, I’ve started my journey on letting my hair go gray. I just can’t justify paying $150 +20% tip any more. I am very retired I’m 61 and I’ve just done every six weeks paying that amount. I’ll still get haircuts I have a Bob style haircut.
I love pixie styles even though I have a cyst (birth mark) on my forehead. I just have the fringe a little longer to hide it. These styles rock for older ladies.
My hair is curly, frizzy and thin with a receding hairline. I've taken to cutting my own hair on the regular since the pandemic and have learned a few of these tips, but having it all here and explained is such a gift, Thank you Justin, your videos are so appreciated.
thank you. I finally found the hair cut I want. I had my hair cut short but struggled with how to style it and was almost going to grow it out-Im 57. your in depth explanation landed me on the last hair cuts -FINALLY now I know. Fiercely beautiful .
I love your insights! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! You are helping me accept my new short pixie haircut. Now I realize I need to push it back off my forehead and get more volume in the crown. And show some texture. I have thick, coarse hair (colored red), a narrow face and 74 years of trying to figure it out.
Just got rid of my boring bob and opted for a bixie during this heat wave. So much cooler with less hair. Easy to style -- mousse, rough dry, then pick random pieces to flat iron in different directions. I tease some bits by the crown for volume as I have thin hair. As it flattens during the day I just scrunch it with my fingers and lift. Only down side is having to get it cut more often than a bob. I think it's more youthful, at least on me.
If I could find someone to give me a really cute bixie, I'd probably try one. But every hairdresser I've ever gone to either doesn't do what I want or they do a good job but not exactly what I had wanted. Seems all the good hairdressers are unaffordable, just bad whether they work in pricey salons or not or they all live in different states or countries than I live in.
I love the way these women look! I have salt and pepper with still more pepper than salt and can't go without some type of color. It's also fine and super straight. I don't see these in my future but definitely wish I could.
It would be great if you could do a video sometime about growing out bangs, what to do with them during that awkward stage. Different ways to style them off your face, etc. We all appreciate all the tips you give us, thank you!
I want to cut my long hair and have this cute pixie cut. But where do I go to get this haircut. There is a lot of not so good hairstylist out there. Wish you had a salon in my area!
Thank you for this inspiration video ! I am now 100% natural gray & have 2 questions about gray hair. #1 - Do purple shampoos/conditioners actually remove yellowing or do they just mask it so it appears less yellow ? #2 - Is it common for hair to regrow all along the hairline once chemical color treatments have stopped ? In my case the last color treatment was done on 11/04/22. It really is an amazing process ! Thank you for your time❤️
Justin, can you do a video on highlighting vs. all over color when you begin to see greys? Don’t have a lot, but stylist advised me to just highlight and I think I prefer balayage
#OGCommunityRockstar…I felt like when I first started watching you, Justin!!!!!…awesome video..lots of choices and you really explained it so well!!!..this was an important subject to cover since SO many mature women are going grey now!…it is over 3 years for me now!..I don’t have the confidence yet to rock those short cuts…but, they are all gorgeous!!!…much love and appreciation to you, my friend!…say hi to Dionna from her East Coast Momma!!!💜💜💜💜💜you are always a Rockstar, Justin!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am so loving your motivation and empowering videos! If you were not traveling I would drive to have you help me with my hair disaster to update shocking change to show who I am on inside out! You are so fabulous! Thank you
That will look so good. 😊 I love modern cuts. My hair is mostly gray and I really enjoy it. I usually wear a layered bob cut with long bangs but I’ve neglected to get it cut the past 18 months so it’s below my shoulders now. I’m feeling kind of like a witch lately but I’m going to get it cut soon. 😂
All of them are beautiful! Lol, you are tempting me to cut my long gray hair. One of my delimas is trying to find a capable stylist. Anytime I have cut my hair it wasn't at all what I wanted (I do take pictures for a visual). Great video, keep them coming ❤
Love all these silver styles! I had a bob and I enjoyed seeing my silver strands. At my last haircut I asked for her to cut it to add fullness at the crown (we talked about how to do it). Unfortunately, my girl took the thinning shears about an inch from my scalp at my cowlick, slid the shears out, and left the rest long around my ears, chin, and in the back. I have since been hacking away to create more of a "bixie", but my pretty silver strands don't show up much anymore. Oh well... good thing my hair grows quickly.
@g3andrea - The next time if something like that happens, don't be afraid to say "STOP!" or go back with for appointment to fix the style. If they are ethical, you will not be charged.
Justin, you will never not be cool!❤ After pandemic, retirement and no more coloring every 5 weeks, I am finally getting to my true pixie self. Still tweaking with a new stylist after relocating 6 states south. My cut is a combo of your #1 and #2. My problem is my neckline in the back. I know you addressed this in an earlier post, but I'm stuck. No matter how the nape is cut, my hair goes to a duck tail. Any suggestions? You're the best and thank you!
I have the duck tail thing too. It's like I'm genetically predisposed to having a mullet. I've had great hairdressers who can deal with it. But I moved and haven't been able to find anyone decent. One guy said I either have to keep it really short in the nape, or grow it long enough to texturise it and for it to fall down. So I know the theory but I can't fix it myself. When it gets long I hate the way it feels but it doesn't look as bad as I think it does. Good luck. X pixie for life haha
Cool video! I get how the smooth blow-outs work, but I'm wondering how the models with the piece-y, wavy bangs (the ones that are pushed back off the face) get that look. Must be a combination of product and styling - maybe you can demo someday! The middle picture in the bixie set is the one that intrigues me!
I’d love to see a video like this for longer hair when you have time. I’m growing out my layered hair and not really sure what I want to do with it. Long bob? Long shag? Are there other options?
Absolutely! I’ve done another video similar to this before Bob shapes as well as medium length hairstyles. If you haven’t seen those yet, you may really like them. I’ll definitely consider more content around longer shapes like this as well.
If only I could find a stylist like you in the Salem, Or area. Nearly 50 here and ready for something different but damn that’s scary if you don’t have confidence in the stylist helping you choose!! I probably should wait until after my son’s wedding in September. 🤣 Thanks for your videos. 👍🏻
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that support. I definitely understand your concern. I think, waiting until after your sons wedding would be smart. After that, I know it’s a drive but there’s a stylist at my salon in Portland, Danielle. I think you would really like her.
Oh my gosh! I think you should wait until after the wedding! That way you kinda have an idea of what your hair will look like! Maybe after the wedding start going shorter and hopefully it will build some confidence for you!!!! Regardless, I bet you're beautiful either way!
I love watching your clips. I recently had cancer/chemo and lost all my hair. It grew back grey with a look of grey high-lights. It also came back curly which makes it hard to style because it wants to do its own thing. I’m trying to wear it in a pixie style. Your videos have been a real help in showing me how to style. Thanks @and keep them coming. (Is ther a way we can send picks of the way we have styled and get your honest opinions?)
This is great! And greatly appreciated. I recently went from half grown-out shoulder length blond/silver to a silver asymmetrical pixie with a side shave, and I think that a mohawk is in my future because those were my favorites from your video and I'm always drawn to those. At this point my side shave is my favorite part, so who knows - maybe a buzz cut some day. Love your videos!
Love your channel - I've cut my own pixie since the start of the pandemic - I love it and find at 85 a great feeling of freedom and liberation haha. Mine is very edgy, but I have one problem - it grows in a swirl around the crown which is hard to spike up ! Any tips would be appreciated - A Merry Christmas to you and your family - God Bless x
I had an A-line until I went to a hair hacker. I'm now super short pixie (boy cut), which I was NOT looking for but didn't have a choice. However, at 55, I'm rocking it. It is was it is LOL!
I do not like the pixie cut. It looks too butch. I love the A-line cut and the bob however, most current stylists won't do it because it's too old-fashioned.
I have had a pixie forever...it accentuates my eyes which I make up. I wantbto tell women I see to Modernize and forget the long hair. Men love the long...that's the conflict. Thanks! Carry on!
Hi Justin and everyone. Since my hair was so thick and corse as child my mom decided years ago that I should have short hair, very short hair. It’s ok because I was/am petite with a very small/round face w/big blue eyes. Pretty much been my hairstyle ever since too. Styled many different ways thru the years. I’m an old hairstylist so I’m not afraid of product to create fun looks but I am afraid of poor hairstylists. I’m having a Huge problem with vacillating going from my beautiful natural silver to my younger dark brown. I greyed very young and coloring hair has been happening for a long time but I’m really tired of it and it’s damaging my hair since menopause even though I use good products. I’m just having a a slight issue with vanity and grey hair. But I don’t think it’s hair color, I think it’s my complexion and possibly the result of feeling constant inflammation and tiredness. What’s going on inside has so much more to what we see on the outside that no hairstyle, haircut, or hair color can possibly fix. However, I really enjoy all your videos. Being a hairstylist will always be my favorite career and first love. 😊
I love the middle photo bixie! I’ll be 69 in four days, have thick wavy 25% grey hair, about mid-shoulder blade length. It’s starting to look dull and frizzy (conditioner and styling products don’t help). I recently lost 30 lbs, so my face is slimmer, but I still have “jowls”. This was a good video for me.
So glad I found your channel....

The day before my hospital "lockup", my hubby - who is a builder- cut my long curly dark hair off and "pixi" cut it....

Thanks for these ideas, Justin, I can hopefully take this to a hairdresser as soon as my hair grows out some 😊
so helpful to understand why these work - thank you!
Thank you Justin! I think you are cool and totally fun. I also learn a lot from you.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. I feel pretty fortunate to have awesome people like you watching my videos.
Love those gray mohawk looks ❤
I am 80 years old with white hair, watching you from Thailand. Thanks so much.
Thank you! My wife and I had our honeymoon in Thailand! We love it there.
I'm 86 n tomorrow I'm ha Ving my hair cut glad I'm waiting you to day
I LIKE.NUMBER.1 GETTING THESE CUT LOV IT
Please, Sir, I want some more. That was delicious!
As a platinum silver haired 65 yr old who found her first white hair at age 16, I am inspired by your lessons. Thank you!🎉
That’s awesome! Thank you so much. I really appreciate that support and I’m glad I can help.
Love this video so much! I've had pixies for years and never knew why some looked so much better than others. I do wish you'd do hair highlighting ideas for those of us still "going gray". I don't have pronounced gray hair it's just sort of blah. ♥
I totally get it. I’ll be 72 next month and my dad’s barber saw my first grey hair when I was 12. I guess I could be called a foxy silver now. 😉
Justin I so enjoy your videos & straightforward way of explaining your rationale for particular styles. As a 68 y.o. Grey haired woman I have probably always looked better w/shorter hair but the times I've done it, I always want to immediately grow it out again! It's an interesting story how I came to finally grow my grey hair out in 2017-18! Thank you for all you do!❤
Don't let a hairdresser give you a pixie until you have pulled back your ponytail and looked at yourself from all angles, because it will expose all sorts of things you don't have to think about with longer hair.
This is very true! But I would say to keep in mind, that where you have volume in that pixie can modify the way certain facial aspects look. So while you might not like the way, some thing is shaped on your face when your hair is pulled back, it may not be an issue if the haircut is done to hide that or accentuate other parts of your face.
Agree with both of these comments. A ponytail can be a harsh style if pulled back too tight and you can get lots of volume and spunk with a short pixie!
My ears (My dad's ears..lol) will not allow this cut.
Hi Justin, well, I’ve started my journey on letting my hair go gray. I just can’t justify paying $150 +20% tip any more. I am very retired I’m 61 and I’ve just done every six weeks paying that amount. I’ll still get haircuts I have a Bob style haircut.
These women seem to all have thick hair☹️
Ironically I'm getting my hair cut in 2 hours - perfect timing! Love these styles!
I love pixie styles even though I have a cyst (birth mark) on my forehead. I just have the fringe a little longer to hide it. These styles rock for older ladies.
My hair is curly, frizzy and thin with a receding hairline. I've taken to cutting my own hair on the regular since the pandemic and have learned a few of these tips, but having it all here and explained is such a gift, Thank you Justin, your videos are so appreciated.
Love the opening sequence! Fun way of drawing us in immediately.
I just found you on RUclips. Awesome stuff!
I Love watching your videos. I am extremely fond of Pixies and rock one myself!
thank you. I finally found the hair cut I want. I had my hair cut short but struggled with how to style it and was almost going to grow it out-Im 57. your in depth explanation landed me on the last hair cuts -FINALLY now I know. Fiercely beautiful .
I have been a pixie girl for many years! I agree that you have to wear it and have fun with it.
I've done a grey mohawk and I loved it!
Thanks for the fantastic info! Love your background!
Another great video, Justin. How about some video tips for those of us with grey hair who are thinning on top, and also receding hairlines.
I'd love him to do that,,,my thinning on top is getting worse the older I get.👍
Why in earth would I want to look younger? 😂 Been there, done that! Happy to look old & classic!!❤
Excellent video.....lot's of options to think about! Thank you.
Beautiful styles and beautiful ladies. I also like long side-swept fringes, but my granny told me it leads to squint.
Ha ha ha!
Love these, especially #1 and #3! However, you have to have a lot of confidence to rock those looks but those women look awesome!!
Absolutely! Confidence is key for sure. You’re spot on.
@@justinhickox, you are spot on every time!!!
Justin I feel this video was made just for me. Thank goodness someone speak to short haired women
I love your insights! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! You are helping me accept my new short pixie haircut. Now I realize I need to push it back off my forehead and get more volume in the crown. And show some texture. I have thick, coarse hair (colored red), a narrow face and 74 years of trying to figure it out.
I would like to see a video on short curly hair .love your videos
Very useful for me...many thanks❤
Just got rid of my boring bob and opted for a bixie during this heat wave. So much cooler with less hair. Easy to style -- mousse, rough dry, then pick random pieces to flat iron in different directions. I tease some bits by the crown for volume as I have thin hair. As it flattens during the day I just scrunch it with my fingers and lift. Only down side is having to get it cut more often than a bob. I think it's more youthful, at least on me.
If I could find someone to give me a really cute bixie, I'd probably try one. But every hairdresser I've ever gone to either doesn't do what I want or they do a good job but not exactly what I had wanted. Seems all the good hairdressers are unaffordable, just bad whether they work in pricey salons or not or they all live in different states or countries than I live in.
🎉great information, thank you so much.
I love your video!!! One question: what if you have a cowlick on one of the bottom feet of the “M”? How do you fix or live with that? Thanks! 11:47
Great tips Justin!💯
Thank you. I appreciate that.
I love the way these women look! I have salt and pepper with still more pepper than salt and can't go without some type of color. It's also fine and super straight. I don't see these in my future but definitely wish I could.
Love your directness❤
It would be great if you could do a video sometime about growing out bangs, what to do with them during that awkward stage. Different ways to style them off your face, etc. We all appreciate all the tips you give us, thank you!
Love, love, short hair❤
I want to cut my long hair and have this cute pixie cut. But where do I go to get this haircut. There is a lot of not so good hairstylist out there.
Wish you had a salon in my area!
Would love to see you doing one of these styles…..? And watch you how to set it! Thanks
You have a fantastic day as well, Justin!
Could you do a session on short, wavy gray hair. My hair goes wavy in our Florida humidity. So frustrating.
YES, YES, Yes PLEASE

Muchas gracias por tus consejos bendiciones
I love your VERY informative videos, and this does not disappoint, I also think you’re a doll! 😍
Thanks for a great video😊
I have been looking at several of these styles. Being full face/ figured with a Long face.
Great video and setting!
I love my short pixie.
Thank you for sharing! Happy senior
Thank you for this inspiration video ! I am now 100% natural gray & have 2 questions about gray hair. #1 - Do purple shampoos/conditioners actually remove yellowing or do they just mask it so it appears less yellow ? #2 - Is it common for hair to regrow all along the hairline once chemical color treatments have stopped ? In my case the last color treatment was done on 11/04/22. It really is an amazing process ! Thank you for your time❤️
Justin, can you do a video on highlighting vs. all over color when you begin to see greys? Don’t have a lot, but stylist advised me to just highlight and I think I prefer balayage
This is great but I’d love the same for curly hair as all the hairstyles shown are straight hair
Yes!
#OGCommunityRockstar…I felt like when I first started watching you, Justin!!!!!…awesome video..lots of choices and you really explained it so well!!!..this was an important subject to cover since SO many mature women are going grey now!…it is over 3 years for me now!..I don’t have the confidence yet to rock those short cuts…but, they are all gorgeous!!!…much love and appreciation to you, my friend!…say hi to Dionna from her East Coast Momma!!!💜💜💜💜💜you are always a Rockstar, Justin!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love your videos!! I have worn a pixie for over two years now. I am 68 years young. Have not had the courage yet to go gray. One day…
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
Love your videos!! What is your suggestion for fuller faces? Do you not suggest shorter looks for fuller face?
Justin, you had me at sag and droop!…😂😂😂😂I will be 67 tomorrow!…I am listening to this video very intensely!!!!!💜
Love your work.Please show short gray hair with a more rounded face.
Love you so much. Love the edgy look. Will go for it
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
LOVE IT!!!! The super short pixie. The first set
Ditto!
Thanks for all the tips
Still think I want to go shorter and look less dated. You have such great ideas!
Great video❤!
I am so loving your motivation and empowering videos! If you were not traveling I would drive to have you help me with my hair disaster to update shocking change to show who I am on inside out! You are so fabulous! Thank you
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
Thank you. Just in time for my haircut.
I have just gone grey for the first time by cutting my hair very short. Now a grow out as a Mohawk look. Can’t wait.
That will look so good. 😊 I love modern cuts. My hair is mostly gray and I really enjoy it. I usually wear a layered bob cut with long bangs but I’ve neglected to get it cut the past 18 months so it’s below my shoulders now. I’m feeling kind of like a witch lately but I’m going to get it cut soon. 😂
I like the long pixie
They’re super pretty shapes, right!
Justin, if you ever come to South Wales in the Uk, it would be a dream come true for your to cut and style my hair!
All of them are beautiful!
Lol, you are tempting me to cut my long gray hair.
One of my delimas is trying to find a capable stylist.
Anytime I have cut my hair it wasn't at all what I wanted (I do take pictures for a visual).
Great video, keep them coming ❤
Take picture of you want in your haircut. If you see a lady with a cool cut- ask ehere she gets it done
Love all these silver styles! I had a bob and I enjoyed seeing my silver strands. At my last haircut I asked for her to cut it to add fullness at the crown (we talked about how to do it). Unfortunately, my girl took the thinning shears about an inch from my scalp at my cowlick, slid the shears out, and left the rest long around my ears, chin, and in the back. I have since been hacking away to create more of a "bixie", but my pretty silver strands don't show up much anymore. Oh well... good thing my hair grows quickly.
@g3andrea - The next time if something like that happens, don't be afraid to say "STOP!" or go back with for appointment to fix the style. If they are ethical, you will not be charged.
What do you recommend for curly gray hair?
Love your tips
Great video! Helpful tips. Thank you Justin❤️
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
LOVE this video. Thank you
Justin, you will never not be cool!❤
After pandemic, retirement and no more coloring every 5 weeks, I am finally getting to my true pixie self. Still tweaking with a new stylist after relocating 6 states south. My cut is a combo of your #1 and #2. My problem is my neckline in the back. I know you addressed this in an earlier post, but I'm stuck. No matter how the nape is cut, my hair goes to a duck tail. Any suggestions? You're the best and thank you!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
I have the duck tail thing too. It's like I'm genetically predisposed to having a mullet. I've had great hairdressers who can deal with it. But I moved and haven't been able to find anyone decent. One guy said I either have to keep it really short in the nape, or grow it long enough to texturise it and for it to fall down. So I know the theory but I can't fix it myself. When it gets long I hate the way it feels but it doesn't look as bad as I think it does. Good luck. X pixie for life haha
The style at 9:21 could the front of this style work with a longer back like to the shoulders or close to them ?
Cut my own hair, Asymmetrical, sassy, and silver and pepper, love it🎉😂❤
I have white hair and I finally cut my jair short. Ok got a pixi cut and i love it.After all these years i love my hair
Cool video! I get how the smooth blow-outs work, but I'm wondering how the models with the piece-y, wavy bangs (the ones that are pushed back off the face) get that look. Must be a combination of product and styling - maybe you can demo someday! The middle picture in the bixie set is the one that intrigues me!
I’d love to see a video like this for longer hair when you have time. I’m growing out my layered hair and not really sure what I want to do with it. Long bob? Long shag? Are there other options?
Absolutely! I’ve done another video similar to this before Bob shapes as well as medium length hairstyles. If you haven’t seen those yet, you may really like them. I’ll definitely consider more content around longer shapes like this as well.
The last haircut is gorgeous!! Do you algae a video how to cut it?
If only I could find a stylist like you in the Salem, Or area. Nearly 50 here and ready for something different but damn that’s scary if you don’t have confidence in the stylist helping you choose!! I probably should wait until after my son’s wedding in September. 🤣 Thanks for your videos. 👍🏻
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that support. I definitely understand your concern. I think, waiting until after your sons wedding would be smart. After that, I know it’s a drive but there’s a stylist at my salon in Portland, Danielle. I think you would really like her.
Oh my gosh! I think you should wait until after the wedding! That way you kinda have an idea of what your hair will look like! Maybe after the wedding start going shorter and hopefully it will build some confidence for you!!!! Regardless, I bet you're beautiful either way!
I love watching your clips. I recently had cancer/chemo and lost all my hair. It grew back grey with a look of grey high-lights. It also came back curly which makes it hard to style because it wants to do its own thing. I’m trying to wear it in a pixie style. Your videos have been a real help in showing me how to style. Thanks @and keep them coming.
(Is ther a way we can send picks of the way we have styled and get your honest opinions?)
This is great! And greatly appreciated. I recently went from half grown-out shoulder length blond/silver to a silver asymmetrical pixie with a side shave, and I think that a mohawk is in my future because those were my favorites from your video and I'm always drawn to those. At this point my side shave is my favorite part, so who knows - maybe a buzz cut some day. Love your videos!
I challenge you to come up with some styles for curly and coils hair!
Love your channel - I've cut my own pixie since the start of the pandemic - I love it and find at 85 a great feeling of freedom and liberation haha. Mine is very edgy, but I have one problem - it grows in a swirl around the crown which is hard to spike up ! Any tips would be appreciated - A Merry Christmas to you and your family - God Bless x
I had an A-line until I went to a hair hacker. I'm now super short pixie (boy cut), which I was NOT looking for but didn't have a choice. However, at 55, I'm rocking it. It is was it is LOL!
I do not like the pixie cut. It looks too butch. I love the A-line cut and the bob however, most current stylists won't do it because it's too old-fashioned.
I have had a pixie forever...it accentuates my eyes which I make up. I wantbto tell women I see to Modernize and forget the long hair.
Men love the long...that's the conflict. Thanks! Carry on!
Hi Justin and everyone. Since my hair was so thick and corse as child my mom decided years ago that I should have short hair, very short hair. It’s ok because I was/am petite with a very small/round face w/big blue eyes.
Pretty much been my hairstyle ever since too. Styled many different ways thru the years. I’m an old hairstylist so I’m not afraid of product to create fun looks but I am afraid of poor hairstylists.
I’m having a Huge problem with vacillating going from my beautiful natural silver to my younger dark brown. I greyed very young and coloring hair has been happening for a long time but I’m really tired of it and it’s damaging my hair since menopause even though I use good products. I’m just having a a slight issue with vanity and grey hair. But I don’t think it’s hair color, I think it’s my complexion and possibly the result of feeling constant inflammation and tiredness.
What’s going on inside has so much more to what we see on the outside that no hairstyle, haircut, or hair color can possibly fix. However, I really enjoy all your videos. Being a hairstylist will always be my favorite career and first love. 😊
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
What hair cut is best to control cowlicks for over 60?
I love the middle photo bixie! I’ll be 69 in four days, have thick wavy 25% grey hair, about mid-shoulder blade length. It’s starting to look dull and frizzy (conditioner and styling products don’t help). I recently lost 30 lbs, so my face is slimmer, but I still have “jowls”. This was a good video for me.
