Use the chart below for some absolute definition to hair length which will be helpful for you to reference to women’s hair length when request for a service.
Below we define each hair length as referenced to women’s hairstyles.
1. Very short = Above the ear or shorter
We acknowledge that some people may consider very short buzz cut only. We get that, but we also include close-cropped cuts like pixie cuts in our very short definition for women. For men, very short would only be a buzz cut, for women, it’s not out of the question to include a short pixie cut.
2. Short = Chin and Above
Some people might consider above chin length to be short and not just very short. Again, defining hair lengths isn’t easy and there’s room for interpretation.
3. Medium-Length = Shoulder-Length
Shoulder length is a fairly true representation of medium-length hair length.
4. Long = Armpit length
Armpit length or longer is definitely long hair. Some might suggest armpit length as long, but we believe that’s medium-length in the big scheme of things.
5. Very Long = Mid-back or longer
Mid-back and longer is definitely very long. This is not a terribly common hair length relative to the other lengths, but it’s still done.
