I have a square face shape, actually it is ver similar to Mandy Moore.  I want to get my hair cut like Samaire Armstrong.  Here are the links that i REALLY like! Below is a picture of me and of the same hairstyle just on a different day.
 

 
SHould I go for it?...right now its touching my shoulders.

I was only able to get one photo, the top one, which looks like a nice hairstyle.
The other pics, including the one of you, didn't come through.

The first picture was me, and the second two are what i would like to do.  If you have any suggestions of what would be good for me too...that would be appreciated, as far as this haircut is concerned, should i go for it?

Obviously in this forum most will encourage you to go short.  We're a biased crowd. 
 
I think it's a good move for you to either go shorter or longer as the current look squares off your jawline.  I like the Samaire Armstrong look for you a lot.  You have something of her in your face in that I think if you tried to pull off a really dainty, ultra-feminine look you would have trouble, but a funkier sexy look will suit you really well.  I vote to go with the short look and think you made a good pick.  Not many can pull of Samaire's look but you will do great.

BTW - I wouldn't recommend going shorter than the pictures you've posted.  I think a pixie would really harden your face and not do well.  Keep some flip or curl or a little bit of length.

Thanks for the advice, i appreciate it, I think I am going to do it. Hopefully fairly soon.  I'd would appreciate more opinions from others, just cuz I am a little nervous how it will make my face shape appear. THANKS

Go for the short hairstyle. You are a lovely, feminine lady who would look delightful in short hair. And you could even wear a pixie if it was styled the right way for you.

my only last  suggestion is you may need to get some new highlights as well that will perk up that style.

I really really would like more opinions and comments. I am starting to chicken out about this cut and still have ike 3-5 more days before I will be able to get it done.  I would really appreciate reassurance that this style will look good and still be sexy and feminine on my face.  I am paranoid about getting a bad haircut cuz i had one when i was younger and Hated it....THANKS SOOO MUCH!!!!

Haha!
Just go to a really good beauty salon with good hairstylists that are accustomed to doing short 'dos on young women. And then don't worry about it. You will look just fine lovely lady.

You have very similar features. I think you should try the cutstyle. It looks like it will fit your face very well. I agree highlites should be incorporated into the cut.

I think you have a simular look/ simular facial features as Samaire Armstrong. So I think it would be a perfect fit to have the same cut she has.

The last pic of her with the guy from The O.C. shows her cut the best.
If you do go for it make sure you bring all those pics so the stylist can see all the angles of the hairstyle. If you do that, I think it'll turn out and look exactly how it looks on her.
good luck with it all.

well ill be perfectly honest with you ( the style you have NOW really isnt doing it for you ) ITs a bit stringy and shaggy and you need a update It doesnt even shape your face it just hangs it has no definition around your structure, i personally think you will look fine with this new cut but that is my opinion. :) good luck. I do hope you do something if not this cut something you do need something a bit more flattering.

You're asking the impossible.  You want to know for certain that you're going to look fantastic and that you're going to love your haircut.  There's only one way to find out for certain, and that's to do it.
 
It may turn out that you love the way you look and feel!  Or, you may hate it.
 
The problem is that all the people begging you to cut it won't be around when you have to look at yourself in the mirror each morning in the unfortunate case that you really hate it.  It appears that most people here will tell you to cut it, no matter what, simply because they want women to cut their hair short.
 
You really have to do what YOU want.  Sometimes that involves taking risks.  If you're able to accept the possible negative consequences, then do it.
