Colorful Short Hairstyles | Bold Cuts, Bright Color
Vivid Color Meets Sharp Design
Short hair gets even more exciting when paired with bold color. These colorful short hairstyles are all about self-expression—combining refined cuts with vibrant tones for a look that’s playful, personal, and full of life. Whether it’s a pastel pixie, a ruby red bob, or a dimensional crop, these styles are designed to stand out in all the right ways.
Chic Bob, Caramel Pop
This look is all about lightness and movement—with a fresh cut and a warm, dimensional blonde that catches every flicker of light. Her stacked bob is tailored for bounce and shape, and while the lighting here adds an extra glow, her real-life hue leans more into a creamy caramel frappuccino: rich, blended, and just sweet enough.

The Cut That Just Works
Laura’s hair tells a story of transformation. With extremely thick, wavy texture, she struggled with a ledge forming on the heavier side—an imbalance from over-texturizing and an off shape. She came to me looking for a change that felt natural and effortless. Enter: the graduated bob. It’s become her go-to cut for a reason—polished, precise, and made to fall into shape without the fight. No matter what other styles she tries, we always come back to this one. It’s just that good.

That subtle stacked shape gives Laura volume without puffiness. The structure supports the weight of her hair while adding definition.
Elevated Shape, Evolving Edge
Helena consistently gravitates toward the same silhouette, but we keep it fresh by shifting the details. For this visit, I created a triangular undercut from the occipital bone to the nape—removing extra weight and allowing the soft, textured graduation of her bob to truly shine. The result is clean, lifted, and endlessly wearable.

Silver, Soft & Absolutely Hers
She’s embraced her natural silver with confidence—and this style is all about honoring that shift. We kept the length soft and slightly layered, then added a gentle curl to showcase her texture and movement. Her look feels elegant, easy, and fully her own.

Short, Strong & Still Glowing
A shorter take on Lisa’s signature rose gold—this version brings softness, strength, and modern shape into balance. We kept her favorite sweeping fringe and the tucked-behind-the-ear flexibility she loves, while refreshing the cut for more lift and movement. The golden-copper tone is toned slightly lighter this round, offering a luminous glow that still feels grounded. A fresh update that proves a signature look can evolve beautifully
