Short Hair Cuts

Short Hair Cuttting Experts in Luton & Ampthill

Short hair is modern, expressive and full of personality. It can let your  features shine and give your whole look a confident, contemporary edge.

Pixie cuts and texturised crops are perfect soft feminine looks, while bobs are a Steve Hilliard Hairdressing specialism that never go out of fashion. 

If you want a hairstyle that makes a statement, out for something blunt or asymmetric for a more dramatic, edgier look.

If you’re thinking about going short, our short-hair specialists in Luton will guide you through every detail. We’ll chat honestly about what will suit your:

  • Bone structure and face shape
  • Natural movement and texture (especially if your hair is wavy or curly)
  • Lifestyle and styling habits
  • Maintenance level you’re happy with (short hair needs regular trims to stay sharp)

Whether you want a timeless bob, a soft and feminine bixie, or a bold, sculpted crop, we’ll create a cut that expresses your style and works with your life.

Prices from £38 – £99 depending on the skill and experience of your hairstylist.

Short Hair: Your Questions Answered

Will short hair suit me?

Short hair can work for most people – when it’s tailored properly. At your consultation we’ll talk to you about the features you’d like to accentuate and the way you want to feel.

We’ll design your cut around your face shape, features, texture and personal style so the shape flatters you, not a model on Instagram. If short hair doesn’t feel like the right fit for you, we’ll work out what you love about the idea and come up with an alternative you love. 

You don’t have to jump straight to a crop. A soft bixie or chin-length bob is a great stepping stone if you want a change without going super short immediately.

Absolutely. Short styles can look amazing on straight, wavy or curly hair you just need the right shape and technique. We’ll show you how your natural texture can enhance the cut.

Short hair often needs trimming every 4-8 weeks to keep the shape. 

The bad news is you’re likely to need to style your hair every day, but the styling can be quick. We’ll give you realistic advice and show you how to style your new short hairstyle look between visits to the salon. 

Short hair can be a great option if you want to add volume and lift to fine or thinning hair.

The right short cut can create structure and give the illusion of fuller, thicker hair. 

Definitely. Modern short cuts can be soft, textured, elegant or bold – it’s all in the technique and finish. We’re loving pixie cuts and classic bobs for a soft feminine finish. 

Short hair can be surprisingly versatile – especially pixies and crops. We’ll show you how to add texture, smooth it down, create height, or switch your parting for fresh, wearable looks.

It usually takes one or two of the right products to style short hair. As part of our 4 point guarantee, we’ll recommend exactly what will make your new shape quicker and easier to style at home and we’ll show you how to use them. 

It’s very very rare for a client to hate their hair. We’ll always chat with you to get a feel for exactly how you want it to look, and if it doesn’t sound like short hair is the best option for you, we’ll give you recommendations that can work better. 

If you don’t love your short hair, hair usually grows surprisingly quickly and we can work with you to find lovely growing out styles that suit you.
