First you have beautifull eyes don't hide them.Your face can support many styles. If I was asked to cut your style first I would suggest some shorter that would show off your features and expose your ears and nape portion of the neck. Nothing extreme but plenty shoter. such as a longer version of a pixe that would have plenty of wispy ends to bring out the cut and certian portions of your face. Or maybe something that would spike out in the back and top if you feel the need or wear straigth. But please add color and highlites. I am a barber and cut many different styles for ladies. As for color, look at it like your paiting a room. main color and accent. I am a big fan of reddish brown with blonde highlites or try brown with a ash color highlites pulled through a cap. Let me know what your thoughts are and I will help as much as you need
Have you seen the ultra-short pixie hairstyles Halle Berry, Alyssa
Milano, and Sharon Stone wear, when they wear ultra-short hair?
Try one of those styles, those are very feminine hairstyles that are
shorter than your hair, but a style that you would look delightful
wearing.

Wavy hair can look nice in pixies or other short styles, so long as you don't try to make it be what it's not. A lot of people try to curl or straighten wavy hair, but if you just let it be wavy and maybe kind of unkempt-looking, it can be really cool ^_^ .
More awesome than a manatee!

Well. Here's the result. It'll take a few days to settle, I'm sure....
OK I'm gonna toss in my 2 cents here and don't take this personal. Consider this constructive criticism from a professional hairstylist. This style does absolutely nothing but detract from your appearance. Your bangs although wispy are too short for your face shape and make your face appear even longer than it actually is. It would look better if they were left a little longer to minimize the length of your face. The ideal shape you should strive for is oval, you want more around your face...kinda like the first picture you posted.
This is better look for you....
Again I'm only offerring you a professional's opinion of what I think would look best for your face shape so don't take it personally. As for people suggesting taking clippers and buzzing your neck halfway up well let's just say I don't think your face shape is appropriate for that type of extreme haircut.
Cheers

Claude, you are totally wrong on that! Her new haircut looks so much better on her! I think most "professionals" would disagree with what you just said.
DANGER! I drive like you do.

As a Professional HairStylist I disagree....we can agree to disagree that's fine. If a professional stylist thinks that looks better for her face shape than her previous style they need to go back to cosmetology school and learn the fundamentals of hairstyling 101.
The last couple of posts reminds me of a discussion my wife and I had not too long ago. She was wearing a style that I encouraged her to try and which I thought looked great on her (she also received compliments fro other people). She wanted a change (just got bored with the other style) and went to a new stylist who gave her all the "rules" for her face shape. Well her new style just doesn't do it for me. Not that it is really any difference in length, mainly just cut differently. I am sure there are instances or general guidelines that can be helpful for many people, but I also know that visually sometimes styles that go against the "rules" work very well.
To me her current style is kinda cute. For me, it is a little wild - I think it would look better with a little more control (not too much).

For what it's worth, this particular haircut, in my humble opinion, does completely redefine her face. She has such beautiful eyes! But with the new, very short, spiky haircut, the very first thing I noticed wasn't the eyes and it wasn't the hair. My attention was drawn immediately to the chin and the length of the face.
I agree, her new hairstyle looks better than the "hair in the face look" that Claude suggested.
When will people realize that hair in people's faces, it isn't sexy, doesn't look very good, it is stupid,
juvenile, and trendy in all the wrong ways.

Ugh! What you are looking at or striving for is the complete sillhouette face & hair combined that creates the overall shape. If you were a HairStylist and paid any attention in school you would know this. As for the bangs in the face they can be shortened if that is what makes you think the style is juvenile. Anne hits the nail on the head when she describes what stands out to her in the picture a few posts above.
The goal is to emphasize the best features and minimize less attractive features to creating a perfect look for a client while striving to achieve an oval sillhouette.
I think some of you are just short hair enthusiasts who want every women to buzz their nape with a #2, taper, taper, taper, etc, etc, rinse & repeat.....you people have a hair fetish and are infactuated with the de-feminization of a women by cutting their hair short with clippers.
I'm not saying short hair can't look feminine however the right face shape is needed which is typically a round face shape otherwise the results might not be desireable.
As a barber stylist I must agree with Claude. As in my job as a barber I see a lot of ladies wanting very short cuts. I do try and talk some out of it. some who just look better with a very short #2 taper cut. What I don't like is those who cut their hair and are just trying to make a statement or doing it because someone else did it. To have a style that brings out the beauty in one is what we suggest. I have some thank me for talking them out of a very short cut. I have a unique shop that is close to a salon and the looks of a barber shop. client's are a good mix and lot's of husband and wifes comwe in for cuts.As for the cut I feel that the face should have beeen more framed out with wispey sides and longer abngs maybe sliced angled bangs. As I suggested in a earlier post the sides could still be tucked behind the ears for a shorter look. I feel that you should darken the color and add highlites. All and all not a bad cut. tyr to side part and pull your bangs across your forhead for a differnt look. Good luck
Mike

Oh Yes, Very, Very Cute. I agree, I think the other pic was just a bad pic not a bad haircut. I see the pretty eyes and I don't notice any chin (as others were critical of). Hopefully, you are happy with it - I think you look very pretty.
