See the six-cut photographic comparison ↓
Seven named references across short, medium and long hair. Look at the crown, fringe and lower edge before choosing your next salon conversation.
A name is the start of the conversation
Wolf cuts emphasize the contrast between crown layers and longer lengths. A pixie keeps the sides and nape cropped. A bob or lob draws attention to its lower edge; butterfly layers retain long lengths with shorter face framing. A curly shag makes the fringe and crown layering part of the visible shape.
These references help you compare features. A name alone does not specify the exact fringe, length or amount of layering. Discuss the details you want to keep as well as the ones you would change.
