Micro-fringe pixie: what it is, who it suits and what to tell your barber
Micro-fringe pixie is a short cut listed under women's cuts in the FitMyFace catalog. The catalog describes it this way: a distinct textured pixie with tiny micro bangs high on the forehead and tapered sides.

Who it suits
The catalog lists round, oval, square, heart-shaped and diamond face shapes as suiting the micro-fringe pixie. It marks no face shape as a weaker fit.
For a round face: Add height on top and keep the sides slimmer to lengthen the face. For an oval face: Balanced proportions: most cuts work, so pick for your lifestyle. For a square face: Soften a strong jaw with texture, layers and movement.
The catalog pictures it on straight hair. The catalog says a stylist can usually cut it on straight and wavy hair, and leaves curly and coily hair off that list, so ask a stylist who works with your texture.

The card records the look you want and starting measurements; your barber checks and adjusts the final cut. The picture is illustrative. The values are suggested starting points, not reviewed by a barber. In the app you can edit any line on the card.
What to tell your barber
Top 4–6 cm textured, micro fringe above mid-forehead, sides close.
How to ask for it
Tell the stylist the micro fringe should sit above the middle of the forehead, and ask them to cut it dry, a little at a time. A very short fringe cannot be put back, so ask to start longer and shorten it at the end.

FitMyFace hair previews are approximations, not predictions of how your hair will lie after a cut. Ordinary hairstyle try-ons perform face analysis on-device. The optional AI previews (hair and glasses) send a photo to Cloudflare; your consent is the one "I agree" on the scan screen, and a switch on the results turns them off.
