Transitioning from long hair to a rather short pixie cut or a stylish bob can be a significant transformation. Attachment to our hair is undeniable, but some brave women have embraced this change and now are rocking a gorgeous short hairstyle.

Kristina Katsabina, an expert in women's short cuts, continues to share comparison images of her customers before and after the trim, inspiring many women to go for a new look. So, if you have an urge to change up your hair, maybe this is a sign to consider a short hairstyle!

Bored Panda reached out to Kristina, who kindly shared her perspective on short haircuts and how they have changed people’s lives.

Kristina’s life was also heavily influenced by getting a short haircut. She shared her story: “I have been wearing short haircuts for a very long time now. When I first got a short haircut, it changed my entire life. I connected my inner and outer self; my soul and my appearance harmonized. I realized that a short haircut is comfort, style, it's sexy and beautiful. When I studied to become a hairstylist, I knew I wanted to show women how happily they can live with a short haircut, how it can change their lives, reveal their beauty, make them striking, bright, and beautiful.”

Since a short haircut had an impact on her own happiness, we asked Kristina to share more about the emotional transformations she witnessed in her clients as they transitioned to shorter styles.

“Yes, the lives of my clients have truly changed. Some became more confident and found new successful jobs. For others, confidence after a short haircut led to meeting a loved one, getting married, and starting a family. Some finally connected with themselves, feeling light, free, comfortable, and simply happy. A lot of changes happen when a woman breaks free from the stereotypes of long hair and embraces freedom of thought,” wrote Kristina.

Considering the personalization aspect of Kristina’s work, we asked her how she tailors short haircuts to suit an individual's preferences, personality, and overall charisma.

Kristina responded: “I take into account all physical and physiological data and features of a woman—her hair, appearance, bone structure of the head, facial features. I also consider the client's preferences, their style, what they want to convey through their image.”

Kristina also shared the techniques and styling principles she employs to achieve the desired results and enhance the overall look of her clients.

Starting with the fact that hair must be well-groomed and healthy, there should be a good quality haircut and texture. Styling and personalization are also crucial; it depends on my understanding of the client, their style, and the harmony with their overall appearance,” explained Kristina.

personally don't like the extreme side looking comb-over that will require much styling product to fight gravity. However, if the person getting the cut loves it - then hey, who cares?

The hairstylist also shared her opinion on what role self-realization plays in her profession, and how she sees it reflected in the transformations she brings about through her work.

I believe that being a hairstylist is a highly creative profession, where a person, like a sculptor, can express their talents. But it's also working with people, including psychological work. It's important to connect mentally with the person, to be able to listen, understand, feel, and help a woman gain confidence, and improve the quality of life through a haircut that wears well, grows out well, and is easy and quick to style,” shared Kristina.

I think she could have just side-parted in the first image and it would have been just fine too.

And lastly, Kristina added: “When I help a woman become beautiful, confident, and vibrant, when I can realize my creative ambitions, I feel satisfied. I want to show the world how beautiful a woman can look with a short haircut! A woman is free to choose the length of her hair, and she is very attractive and sexy with a short haircut! The main thing is that the haircut is of high quality, well-groomed, and emphasizes the beauty of the woman.”

I love the improvement, but why most of the girls, have no bangs, just a little can soften a girls face, unless she prefers no bangs, that's fine, so pretty !!!

I think she has the facial shape to pull off a short cut, but not this one. This one is just too severe, and I'm not certain it would be flattering on anyone, really.

Her hair was damaged right up to the roots, going very short was a good call. Now too short? Considering that women wear buzz cuts now, no.

Top is just way too short. Mayne styled differently looks like a little boy’s bowl cut.

Maybe not as short would have been better. The top is just way too short.

If the longer hair had a bit of TLC I'd say that's a much better style for her.

She'd look better with some wave. That Vulcan cut doesn't suit her.

should have kept it just a tiny bit longer, just to keep some of them curls, but otherwise, it does still suit her. :)

Shorter looks fresh clean and healthy.. The long looks haggard over bleached and fried.

This is not good, need a softer style, like pixie would be softer and cute, need a gentle style as pixie is soft and cute, for anyone, let it grow a little, and change, I hope this helps !!!
