Giving Myself a Pixie Cut (Using Clippers & Scissors) 

Hi, I'm only two years late! As a former hairdresser, you did an amazing job, 👏 I love the fact you weren't scared to do it, most people are BTW. And it looked great too. 😀 xx

Great job on your pixie! I've been cutting my own hair with scissors for about 50 yrs, but just started wearing a pixie this year. I haven't tried using clippers on the sides and back, but after watching this video I'm going to try it next time I need a trim. I love your videos and your sweet nature.

I have used a #4 on the back and a #8 on the top and a #6 to balance the transition from back to crown with the tapering attachments for around the ears and then a nice cleanup on the neckline with no attachment. About the beginning of the month seems to work well.

I've been cutting my hair for about 20 years. I would also recommend thinning shears. They work perfect to add a little texture to the top and transition between the shaved part and the longer hair!

Just had this undercut pixie done at the hairdressers. I am now inspired to keep it going on my own at home. Thanks for showing us the “how to” details! It is such a pretty cut.

Thank you very much! I’ve been in lockdown in Sydney for a couple of month and the hair dressers have been closed for 3-4 months. Hadn’t had a haircut in 6 and it was way tooooo long for me. This tutorial gave me the confidence to cut my own hair and I feel so much better for it! Thanks again :)

I thought you did a wonderful job. I watched you following everything you did. I went shorter on the top. I love Jamie Lee Curtis cut. Thank you for showing the steps you took.

Beautiful haircut! You gave yourself an amazing professional-looking haircut! Well done!

I love your courage, and I admire the outcome of everything I've seen you do with your hair. Could definitely pass for a professional job! (Who knows ... you may decide to continue doing your hair on your own after the pandemic is over ... or maybe just go to the salon for a treat once in a while.) As always, you look adorable!!

Wow! You did a great job ! And you are so pretty. Thank you for explain in such good detail. You look amazing!

Thank you for showing me how easy this could be. I just cut my own hair.

OK, I am NOT a professional. Only a professional youtube haircut watcher since March. 😂 If you want to soften up the blunt ends, either look up point cutting or get yourself some texturizing sheers. Some stylists use them instead of point cutting. You did a great job! Super cute!!!!!!

Looks great! I have almost the same cut and I do it myself as well. I use a (cold) straightening iron as a guide on the top. Section it off just like I do when the iron is hot and just buzz it along the side of the iron with the clippers! I love your color too! 👏🏼

This is the best tutorial where everything is explained before, while and after. Congrats for your introductions asnit is really helpful. I have ordered my tools and hopefully will give me a nice pixie haircut.

omg the way u talk! ur such a sweet person to watch

You did a great job. I am a black lady with semi straight & wavy hair, and I cut mine the same way. Thank you for the little tips on how to perfect the cut tho.

I just love having short hair! Great tutorial

Love how you cut your hair. So cute. After watching you and one other channel showing another lady cutting her own hair at home, I think I'm ready to tackle mine. Plus both of you used clippers, which has always intimidated me, but with your instructions, especially about going up and then sideways in both directions with clippers, feel much more comfortable. Thanks for sharing.

So adorable! You did a great job! I had a short blonde double process pixie that is growing out until I operated on my hair this weekend it’s a mess since I moved. Very cute hair!

You did a Fantastic job!! Love the finished look on you!!

If you have a small bathroom, like a lot of people, you can attach a mirror to the back of the door or wall and position it so you can easily see the back of your head in the bathroom mirror. Makes cutting your hair a breeze because both hands are free. You did a nice job, considering!

I just did this to my hair. I used a 16 guard clipper on my sides and back of my head. They sell one on Amazon if you ever want to buy it. Mine was 15 dollars. Leaves about 2 inches all over if you want some length off but not too much. They also have 10 and 12 guards.

Oh my goodness girl, you did a awesome job on Your hair. I love it. Thank you for sharing ♡

Cutting your own hair is so difficult and I think she did an amazing job on herself. Plus she explained everything while she did it which was very helpful, especially with the clippers!

I loved this video Its given me the confidence to do my own hair now my hair is the same as you're was length wise You have really made a good job of it i am really excited to have a go at mine now hopefully it's a success it will save me loads of money as I have to get it cut every four weeks thank you once again xxx

You have just inspired me to purchase a pair of clippers and get busy learning how to cut my own hair. I currently have a pixie. Thank you so very much!

Kudos to you I think you did an awesome job!!. I started doing my own pixie undercut a couple years ago right before the pandemic. A couple of tips, I use professional scissors as well as a shorter brand that's not super Sharp along with a longer pair of scissors. Having the variety of scissor lengths makes it easier to cut the back and not end up injuring one's self. The long pair of scissors are what I use to cut the back (or hard to reach areas) and I do point cutting with those that aren't super Sharp. The channel Sharalee's Box of Chocolate has some videos of how her hairdresser does her pixie undercut. Anyway I enjoyed your video and I also have to say your bathroom is especially pretty love that tub!! 💖 God bless and stay well.

First of all you have great hair. You did a fantastic job with the cut. I love it. I commend you for how well you did the back of your hair. That isn't easy.

Wow, this looks so easy. I think I'll just try. You look great. 👍

kewreeen, you look fresh, prety and young. the best

You did a good job

good job. I learned iyears ago in a haircutting book to trim the sides with scissors by taking vertical sections, not horizontal. That way you won't get the blunt line. The top you can do in front to back sections and then trim the center section the opposite way to even it up.

Before 2020- Everybody is a novice at cutting their own hair. After March 2020- Everybody is becoming a professional at cutting their own hair! 😂 You did an awesome job and it looks great on you! I started cutting mine in March and used a #2 on all my head and I ended up looking like a bald pufferfish! Now I use a #4 on the sides and 5 on top. Its a learning experience! Lol!

I loved your "do" sooo much that I talked myself into doing it on my pixie and I LOVE it!! It was so easy and it's nice and even, which was always a big problem especially when I cut the sides the old way with scissors. My plan is to do this every 3 weeks or so, so I never look like it was just cut or like it's needing cut. The clippers I have suck up the hair too which is really nice. Thanks for your fun videos--a nice change from all the other gloom and doom on RU-vid!!

A also love the 2-tone hair look (with the dyed & dyed cut out look) I think it’s the best way to get an awesome “streak/highlighted look” in your hair!! Great video. TFS!

I love the Pixie cut

You are so brave!! You did something I’ve always wanted to do. Cut my own hair off. You did a great job looks super cute!!❣️❣️

You did it! It turned out amazing! I felt like Brad Mondo watching you do it...(squinting) "She's going with the 5/8th...OMG she's going for it!" (slow hand clap) "Oh girl yasss...your hair looks so good!" Lol! I always use the 24mm guard when I do the back of my head, but I think I'm going to go shorter next time because yours turned out so well. I usually use thinning shears too to blend the sections. They are a miracle tool! I bought them, along with some hair shears off Amazon. Really makes a difference!

Thank you so much. Very well done, great tutorial. The finished product looks amazing!!

Oh gosh…YOU are a rock star. Thanks for this and I am confident that I can do THIS. Never thought about it before. YOU inspired me SageDawn. Wowza!!

Omg. Fantastic job. Since my puppy is afraid of the clippers, and the pandemic, I started using her clipper on myself.Lol. It has different length attachments but I have been terrified of clipping going upward. I am going to give myself a brave new haircut right now using you method.

Thank you so much for this video. I have a pixie but have lost my job so I can’t go to the salon anymore. And I’m left handed and can’t use scissors with my left. So you have all the same issues as me. And this seems doable. I’m saving this video. Thank you

Great job cutting hair 🍒

So first of all, SLAY! 👏👏 This turned out so cute! But also, I really appreciate the fact that you were down for whatever the outcome was. I think we forget that DIY stuff won't always be perfect the first time and that that's totally normal 😅😅 But you were realistic about it and it turned out awesome!! 😎

Your hair looks just amazing. A perfect job. Now I want an undercut. Hope you have a great week. 😊

Looks professional. Like the double contrast dark light and long short. When it grows a bit you can play with it being longer on top. I ve seen some pictures of the models like that.

You did a brilliant job With cutting your own hair Also loving the hair colour combination 😊

Fantastic !!! Good job I did on myself 😉thank you every day day learn something

OMG you did an amazing job on your cut!!!! And I agree, the bleached tips on the clippered areas are perfect! I never miss a single one of your videos, but I have been watching on my smart TV & have no way to add comments (or if there is a way it is beyond my skill set😂🤣). But this blew me away and I had to grab my phone and comment. You really hit this one out of the park👍💖. Have a great weekend!

My hair is thin and curly, but I want a pixie with a long top. I could never do this myself, but next time I go to my stylist, I’m gonna ask if this would work for me. You are courageous!! Looks great!!

You did great job! I loved it ❤

Super cute looks great. I'm impressed you didn't cut yourself, I try and point cut and always end snipping myself. Don't know how you did the back so well.

All I can tell you it's beautiful I love it. Thanks for sharing.

You are so brave and so clever to do that to.your hair. It looks lovely. Well done from the Uk 🥰

I love it...I have a pixie cut and am going to order some clippers and follow what you showed us especially if we have to go into lockdown again..what an amazing job you did..it looks awesome on your adorable face! Love your tutorials ! Thank You!

I cut my own hair sometimes too, it’s very satisfying especially when I’ve saved a lot of dosh to treat myself on something else. I enjoyed your video.

Oh my goodness you did a wonderful job. Looks so cute!! I would not have the nerve to do that to myself!

Great job! You look wonderful! Thank you so much for this video! It helped me lose my fear of cutting my own hair using an electric trimmer. And btw, you are simply charming and adorable!

When you have a cute face like yours, the hair dosen't make you. Good job!!

Wow u look great n u are great @ getting ur hair pretty ! Thanks !

You did incredible!! That cut looks like Sharalee Box of Chocolate. I do think I sent you her link. Great work again.

Great job!!! I’ve had luck trimming my hair and my husband’s hair with Schlick Silk Touch-Up Retouche, which is a little disposable razor normally used for facial hair. It is amazing because it allows you to thin out hair and blend in the sides of your hair!

You are one very brave lady. I go to the barber to shave my head. Love your hair.

Cutting short hair is definitely more difficult than trimming long hair, my husband has mentioned a number of times. He gives my two teen boys their haircuts every three weeks with clippers, and he trims my long hair every couple months. He also cuts his own hair using a combination of the clippers and shears. It takes him about ten minutes to do each of my boys, and twenty minutes to trim my long hair because of the sectioning. A couple friends of mine visited early this summer and both wanted hubby to give them a haircut. My one friend with the overgrown pixie said that the mullet thing on her neck was bugging her big time, but she wanted to know if he had cut short hair as it is harder than trimming long hair. I pointed out that he did my boys’ hair and she asked him to cut her hair boy short like my older son. So he did her haircut with the clippers only with attachments on the back and sides, then the clippers over the comb to cut the longer hair on top and blend it with the sides and back. He used the peanut clippers to clean up her neckline. She liked the results and offered to pay him for his barbering skills. He refused of course, but it was nice that she offered.

Isn’t it hard to do the back cause you can’t see back there I’m afraid to take that chance But good for your try it looks great

Amazing job!!! I cut my own hair. Your video was great especially using the clippers

From across the pond in Essex England (just outside London). I have just given my Wife Her second Hair cut using your Video as a guide. My wife Jennifer is very pleased and We have to say Thank you. Your Vid is so easy to follow. Well done and Stay Safe. Kindest regards, Gerard.

Love your haircut. Thanks for sharing. That’s what I want my to look like. Afraid to do it on myself.

Bravo darling!!! I just cut my neckline, it was driving me crazy!!!

You did a great job on your hair, and it looks good on you! 🌻

Excellent job!! Wish I had that kind of nerve to do all that!! 👍🏼

Cute! Considering you like the color variation you should try coloring fbd shaved parts dark or shaving them to your natural dark hair and leaving the top blonde. Also based on your skin tone and eye color I think red or dark hair would suit you as well.

wow u did an amazing job it really suits u....the only thing i would say intead of cutting straight across cut into the hair in points it will blend in.....

Well done girl. Love from Wales uk🙋🏼‍♀️🧓🏻

Love it ! Congratulations.

Looks adorable!

I dread going go hairdressers, so I've found this hairstyle is very easy to maintain on my own. I leave my front and bangs a bit longer. I use a Tinkle hair trimmer (a comb with a razor in it) to soften up any blunt areas and add texture. They're about $3 at beauty stores or Amazon. You did a great job! What a cute bathroom, by the way, I love the bathtub.

gorgeous. gj. I liked the look best when you were blow drying rather than the finished sweep over bangs look.

You did a very good job. I am going to a salon and take this and sho her w her what I want

You're brave on doing it yourself, I'm a lefty too, I'm not brave enough to do this to my hair. Did a great job

You did an amazing job! The only thing I could recommend as it helps me with some of the bluntness you mentioned (which you fixed) would be to purchase a pair of thinning shears! They help with any bluntness that you might end up with with the transition from the short areas to the longer.....they seem to add a some texture as well. Just thought I would throw that out there! Yours turned out so cute! I’m very impressed and amazed! Keep us the great videos! TFS and Be Blessed! ❤️

Great bone structure you have really suits that cut

Great job!! You look like Pink (the singer). Especially with a side part.

Wow. Looks so great. You're right, I love the dark showing through, too! WOW. Your mom must have been proud. Maybe you can go work with her at her salon!

You did an awesome job - very brave!! I had so many "bad" haircuts as a child, having my mom cut my hair, that I am paranoid to touch mine, other than to trim up bangs from time to time. Thanks for sharing!!

YOU did a terrific job cutting your own hair! 👏 This is the same cut ✂️I have and I absolutely love it. So cute and easy to style. 😃👍

You just need a mounted, extendable mirror with light from Amazon! They’re the best! You did a great job! Exactly the cut I need. Just got my new clippers😀

So glad I found your vid. I've been cutting hubbie's hair for awhile but just started doing my own during Covid lockdown. Using your clipper method for the back turned out great! Thank you!! Tip: when I get scissor cut straight edge, I trim it with thinning shears to make it disappear. Thanks again!

Simply adorable...Great job !!!

Hi, a very refreshing video, friendly and to the point. A lovely cut btw, really suits you! X Thankyou for sharing! Xx

Awesome well done

You look stuning 😊 xx

I've watched several hair cutting tutorials and this one is the best by far

You're so cute and gorgeous. I commented yesterday that I'd love to see you do this one and now you have. You did a great job. I did this one on myself because I'm staying in Spain for the winter. I did number 4 on the back and sides of mine because the set only went up to 4. Back home in Ireland I've gone to number 3 for summer. I'm going to let the top grow like yours as I had it shorter for summer. But all in all your style is like mine. Mine is a nice grey. I don't bother to highlight it any more because its a nice shade. I might try to do a colour sometime. Have you ever tried highlights instead of all over colour. Please let me know. I would like to see you define it more, like with styling wax or something, like separate it out a bit. I didn't go quite so high at the back but I see yours looks great, I might bring mine a bit higher next time I wash it

LOVE it. You are so brave!

That's an awesome haircut. Well done ❤️

Girl, you made me so excited to cut my hair again!!!! It looks amazing!

It really looks great! Bravo!

It looks fantastic

Well done, it looks good, l'm hopeless at doing the back my hands go in the wrong direction !!
