How to cut short blond hair pixie like with texturizing, thinning shears

Short, blond hair is always a winner and a must know for all hairstylists. This tutorial covers all necessary steps on how to achieve the perfect shape, balance, proportions etc.
The KARG Shear K-11 Royale was used throughout the entire haircut along with the KARG Shear K-BSlide Royale for detail work like eliminating cutting lines, bulk and to add texture. If you haven’t cut an entire haircut with texturizing shears you are in for a treat. All haircuts grow out to perfection due to the light, textured ends. No straight cutting lines whatsoever, simply brilliant. In our craft we keep on learning every single day, therefore the fundamentals are upmost important; education is the motor of our industry, let‘s make sure we’ll keep it running.
Have fun and thanks for watching. Please share this clip with anyone that loves to cut hair.

Love this video...you understand how to deal with both short hair and older hair, and that is a gift. 💜 I have a pixie that I cut myself (been cutting my own hair for 30 years, since I got butchered in a salon), but I'd let you cut my hair any day of the week! P.S. Your model is gorgeous!

[@laurahughes1987]

Lovely comment ! I to have a pixie and accidentally did a harsh line now corrected !! Happy me !!

[@littleogeechee223]

OMG! I love this cut! It’s beautiful, and the model is absolutely stunning! I love the use of the texturizing sheers because I love a choppy sort of messy look to a short haircut...I wish I were near you, Mike, I’d be honored to have you cut my hair! Lovely ! The back is sheer perfection!

You are a joy to watch....I've never done a complete h/c with texturizing shears!! absolutely love the result..So wish you were in my part of the world! You are such a Master. I am a licensed hair stylist. After watching you, I realize I'm still learning. Thank you!

[@giovannadedomenicis2149]

Fabulous! I agree with you totally. Short hair has to be precise. I am 62 and I have worn my hair short for years. No harsh lines...it has to be round and soft for me. This is a great haircut. I love that you cut it dry... Thank you for posting.

I was gonna ask about that; how does one handle the back of one’s own head? I’d like to clean up my hair between visits to a hairdresser and maybe try a full cut myself one day; what do I do about the crown of the head and nape of my neck?

[@imwatching2960]

I loved this!!! I got hypnotized with your hands moving... effortless, light, natural moves... ❤ her haircut got amazing!

[@irenez7364]

Best pixie cut I’ve seen!

[@MikekargInc]

Thank you so much!!!

[@robincrook5630]

Since growing out and ending over 35 years of coloring (turns out my natural hair now is a multidimensional silver), I have notice a change in texture. I have worn it short for many years, but I notice that hairstylists have trouble giving me a cut like this w/o coarser parts kind of sticking up near the bottom. The way you cut this woman's hair was just wonderful. I will have to show this to my stylist next time.

[@floramathilda]

Now that's a pixie cut! And now I know it's safe to ask my stylist to texturize and thin out the cropped pixie I'm getting tomorrow morning.

[@MikekargInc]

have your stylists check out this pixie clip and good luck!! KARG

[@shaneluke346]

I agree Alyssa Faith ,unfotunatly as much as I like it , I CANT have it THAT SHORT on top ads I was once told by my late dad I have a DOUBLE CROWN , whatever that is , but a GOOD QUALIFIED HAIRDRESSER SHOULD KNOW

[@Lisa_Evers]

really good tutorial. and what a gorgeous woman. to me there is nothing like a beautiful woman, and who ALSO has really short hair. it's that combination of beauty + kick=ass confidence. far too many women 'hide' behind their longer hair. But then, not every woman can look good in short hair...

[@cleocatra9324]

Im starting to think my long hair made me less attractive. I never got so many compliments as when i got this pixie cut. I have very hard to deal with hair and having it short helps me not to have anxiety about my hair.

[@heartbeatofelvis]

That is a fabulous haircut. I used to get my hair cut by a female barber when I lived in Florida and the style was almost just like this. Had to move back to Maryland and I hate the cuts I've been getting. I'll be showing them this video! So pretty! Thank you.

[@MsBibiMuneca]

I know you posted this a few years ago but I must tell you, This video is the #1 BEST VIDEO AND TECHNIQUE on cutting short hair for women! It is my Holy Grail! I have been cutting my own pixie short hair for a few years and have always struggled with different techniques and tools, from shears to razor combs and have had hits and misses! You have simplified cutting and it is fool proof! People are always baffled when I tell them I cut my own hair. I have went to many salons and even a barbershop in the past and have left disappointed and sometimes embarrassed at how my hair turned out even after bringing pictures, and none of those stylists have ever used this technique! Thank You Mr. Karg! You are truly a Godsend! XOXO

Be very careful using thinning shears particularly on thin hair. You need texture but thinning shears may be the wrong way to get it.

[@pattymullin8515]

Fantastic hair cut and style! I would LOVE it if a stylist actively moved my hair around like this. I have very thick, heavy, dry, naturally curly/some areas straight, totally impossible, now cut short hair. If a stylist would work with my hair in this manner, I could get a decent hair cut!! They could see it move and see where it needs "pruning" and "debulking", they could feel the bulk and weight and texturize it accordingly, etc. I WANT my hair to move like that - if it doesn't move like that when you are at the salon, I guarantee you it sure as heck won't move freely when you leave. Thank you for the video, again. wonderful hair cut.

Hello everyone; WOW thanks for ALL the great feedback. This is pretty much one of my favorite haircuts as well. The trick to achieve the shape and texture/ the seamless blend is using the KARG Shears K-11 and K-BSlide Royale for the ENTIRE haircut. Open and close the KARG Shear K-11 Royale fast to cut a straight line with texture and to erase all cutting lines (due to the blond course hair) use the KARG Shear K-BSlide Royale. To order KARG Shears and DVD’s go to www.mikekarg.com
