Platinum Pixie
You prefer a close and sculpted outline with a platinum finish and the defining feature of a close pixie silhouette combined with an icy platinum finish.
Salon wording: Ask for a tailored pixie with softly tapered edges and discuss the lightening process separately from the cutting plan.

Salon wording: Ask for a short graduated top that remains slightly longer at the front, with the sides tapered closely enough to create a clean transition.
