- Perfect canvas for creative colors and highlights
Whether you want an edgy asymmetrical cut, soft feminine layers, or a bold colored statement, these long pixie styles will inspire your next salon visit.

Make a dramatic color statement with this eye-catching rainbow pixie. The shorter back and sides allow the bold color transitions to take center stage, while the long, side-swept bangs soften the look.

4. Asymmetrical Pixie with Undercut
This edgy take on the long pixie features a dramatic asymmetry with an undercut on one side. The longer side can be tucked behind the ear or left to frame the face, offering multiple styling options. The sharp angle from short to long creates a slimming effect that’s particularly flattering for round faces.

5. Stacked Pixie with Wispy Ends
The stacked back on this pixie creates beautiful volume at the crown, while the wispy ends keep the look soft and feminine. Diagonal layers throughout add movement, making this an excellent choice for women with fine hair wanting more body. The longer front pieces can be styled to cover or reveal the forehead as desired.
Styling tip: Use a round brush when blow-drying to enhance the stacked effect.
