Your First Pixie Cut in Minneapolis? Here’s Exactly What to Expect

December 21, 2025

Thinking about taking the leap and going short? There’s no bolder way to reboot your style for the holidays than with a pixie cut. Whether you’re craving a dramatic transformation to accompany the Minneapolis winter or simply seeking a hairstyle as bold and brilliantly unique as you are, Wild Hare Collective has your back. 


Here’s a comprehensive guide on what to expect when booking your very first pixie cut – plus expert tips to make sure your new look is every bit as head-turning as you dreamed.


Why Get a Pixie Cut in Minneapolis?


The pixie cut isn’t just a haircut—it’s a statement. With long, dark winter nights giving way to festive lights, a pixie offers a fresh, expressive look that stands out at every holiday gathering and doubles as the ultimate low-maintenance style in the chilly Minnesota weather. Plus, pixies make hats and scarves a breeze—a major plus when December temps drop around the Twin Cities.


Step One: The Wild Hare Consultation Experience


Every signature Wild Hare Collective transformation starts with a relaxed, in-depth consultation. Minneapolis locals know—we pride ourselves on getting to know your style, your daily routine, and your vision for your hair. Our inclusive approach invites everyone to explore bold self-expression in a welcoming space, whether you’re a pixie pro or new to the world of ultra-short cuts.


During your visit, expect:


  • A one-on-one conversation to explore your inspiration (photos encouraged!)
  • Personal advice on which pixie variation—classic, textured, asymmetrical—fits your face shape and lifestyle
  • The inside scoop on styling and care recommendations, from the best cruelty-free products for your hair type to quick styling tips for the busy morning.


What Happens During Your Pixie Cut Appointment?


Curious about what actually happens in the chair when you’re embarking on your first pixie? Here’s our breakdown of the process:


  • Precision Sectioning: We section your hair mindfully, ensuring symmetry and design tailored to you.
  • Expert Cutting Techniques: Our stylists use both shears and razors to sculpt volume, texture, and distinction.
  • Personalized Styling: After the cut, we style your hair to showcase your new look, offering tips to recreate the magic at home or freshen up before a night out on Hennepin Ave.
  • Product Guidance: Discover which styling pastes, sprays, or creams suit you best to keep your pixie looking powerfully fresh in all weather conditions.


Addressing the Top Question: “Will a Pixie Cut Suit My Face Shape?”


A trending question in Minneapolis—especially among first-timers—is whether a pixie cut will flatter their unique features.


Our answer? Absolutely—with the right consultation! Wild Hare Collective specializes in customizing every pixie cut. From longer side bangs to bold, micro-short crops, we enhance your natural bone structure and play up your best angles. And, because we cherish Minneapolis’ diverse community, we create pixies for every gender identity, hair texture, and personal style.


How to Care for Your Pixie Cut During Minneapolis Winter


Short hair can be a winter wonder, but it does benefit from a little extra care when the air is cold and dry. At Wild Hare Collective, we’ll walk you through:


  • Hydrating routines with gentle, cruelty-free products
  • Tips for reducing static and keeping hair soft under hats
  • Quick styling tricks for festive holiday looks—think sparkling hairpins or a dab of shimmering pomade.
