What Is A Mixie? (AKA—Mullet + Pixie)

The unique cut is a perfect blend of shabby chic with a modern twist. The Mixie is a mullet and pixie cut that can be completely customized from front to back. Your client can choose if they want more of a "mullet Mixie" or "pixie Mixie" by deciding how long they'd like their fringe, layers or perimeter.

Key Elements Of A Mixie:

Cropped fringe
Soft, defined texture (real & faux)
Tapered neckline
Short layers
Graduation in length

Cutting A Mixie:

You want to accentuate the essence of both a mullet and a pixie. This requires adding (and in some cases eliminating) texture and weight in certain areas.
