A great haircut can do more than just change your appearance—it can renew your confidence. At Design 1 Salon & Spa, we often meet women over 40 who want a fresh, modern look that’s stylish, easy to manage, and perfectly suited to their lifestyle.
If you’ve been thinking about going shorter, these timeless short haircuts are flattering, versatile, and designed to bring out your best features.
1. The Classic Bob
The bob is a go-to for a reason—it’s elegant, professional, and universally flattering. Try a chin-length version to soften your jawline or add subtle layers for movement.
2. The Layered Pixie
Short, airy, and full of personality, a layered pixie adds volume to fine hair while keeping maintenance minimal. Style it tousled for a youthful, carefree vibe.
3. The Angled Lob
If you’re not ready to go super short, the angled lob gives you the best of both worlds—short in the back for lift, longer in front for shape and style flexibility.
4. Textured Shag Cut
Bring a bit of edge with a modern shag. Its choppy layers add volume and texture, perfect for thinning hair or anyone wanting more body and bounce.
5. Short Curly Crop
For women with natural curls, a cropped cut can highlight your texture beautifully while reducing bulk. Pair it with hydrating styling products to keep curls defined and soft.
6. Side-Swept Fringe Cut
Soft bangs can instantly refresh your look. A side-swept fringe blends seamlessly with short layers and adds just the right amount of youthful lift.
7. Sleek Blunt Cut
Simple yet powerful, the blunt cut makes fine hair look thicker and frames the face elegantly.
Pro Tip from Design 1 Salon & Spa:
Short haircuts require the right products to keep their shape. Our stylists recommend using a lightweight texture spray or smoothing serum, depending on your desired finish.
