Neck-length haircuts are the perfect sweet spot between short and long styles. They’re versatile enough for any face shape, age, or lifestyle while requiring minimal maintenance. I’ve spent years transforming women with these magical mid-length cuts that frame the face beautifully and grow out gracefully.
1. Le Bob classique
Honey, the Bob classique never goes out of style! I’ve given this cut to CEOs and college students alike.
The clean, straight line hitting right at the jawline creates instant structure while remaining utterly timeless. My clients always feel like Audrey Hepburn walking out of my chair!
2. Lob texturé
While cutting a Lob texturé yesterday, my client literally gasped when she saw the transformation. Those choppy ends create movement that’s simply mesmerizing!
Falling just above the shoulders, this longer bob works magic on thick hair by removing bulk without sacrificing style. Talk about hair liberation!
3. French Bob
Ooh la la! Nothing says Parisian chic quite like the Bob français with its chin-grazing length and delicate fringe.
Though clients initially worry it’s too bold, they’re quickly converted once they see how it enhances cheekbones and eyes. When paired with slightly tousled texture, this cut exudes that effortless French-girl vibe.
4. Coupe asymétrique
If you’re craving something with edge, an Coupe asymétrique might be your perfect match! One side slightly longer than the other creates visual interest that’s both subtle and striking.
My bolder clients adore how this neck-length style makes a statement without screaming for attention. It’s architectural hair artistry at its finest!
5. Coupe courte avec frange
Whenever I give someone a Blunt Cut with Bangs, the salon practically turns into a runway. There’s something undeniably powerful about those clean lines!
The precision of this neck-grazing cut paired with straight-across bangs frames the face beautifully. It’s like having a built-in picture frame for your gorgeous features.
6. Bob hirsute
Yesterday a timid client transformed into a rock star after I gave her the Bob le Hirsute! Those perfectly placed layers create volume in all the right places.
The textured, slightly messy finish gives off major cool-girl vibes while still being totally manageable. Even better? It looks amazing whether you’ve spent 30 minutes or 30 seconds styling it!
7. Curly Neck-Length Cut
Curly-haired goddesses, listen up! A properly shaped Curly Neck-Length Cut will change your relationship with your spirals forever.
With strategically placed layers to remove weight and enhance bounce, this style celebrates natural texture rather than fighting it. My curly clients often tell me it’s the first time they’ve truly loved their hair!
8. Bob angulaire
Though seemingly simple, the Bob angulaire packs serious attitude! Shorter in back, longer in front—this dynamic cut creates a stunning silhouette that turns heads.
My clients with fine hair particularly love how this style creates the illusion of thickness and movement. Plus, the gentle slope from back to front elongates the neck beautifully!
9. Wispy Layers
Never underestimate the power of Wispy Layers! These feather-light ends create movement that dances with every turn of your head.
Unlike chunky layers, these delicate wisps blend seamlessly throughout neck-length hair, creating dimension without obvious steps. I recommend this cut for anyone wanting subtle texture that still makes an impact.
10. Blunt Collarbone Cut
Whenever someone wants something low-maintenance yet chic, I reach for my scissors to create a Blunt Collarbone Cut. The sharp, clean line just grazing the collarbone is utterly sophisticated!
This slightly longer neck-length style offers versatility for both casual ponytails and elegant styling. It’s the Swiss Army knife of haircuts!
11. Pixie balayé sur le côté
For the woman who wants short hair with feminine flair, the Side-Swept Pixie extending to the nape is absolute perfection! Longer on top, shorter at the sides and back.
My clients are always shocked by how versatile this cut is—slick it down for elegance or tousle it for edgy vibes. The neck-length pieces in front softly frame the face for a flattering finish.
12. Curtain Bangs with Layers
If there’s one combination that’s been flying out of my salon lately, it’s Curtain Bangs with Layers! Those face-framing bangs that part in the middle create instant cheekbone definition.
When paired with a layered neck-length cut, the result is breathtakingly flattering on literally everyone. The 70s are calling, and they’re bringing good hair days with them!
13. Choppy Ends
Last week, a corporate lawyer came in wanting something professional yet edgy—Choppy Ends were the perfect solution! Using point-cutting techniques creates piece-y, textured ends that add personality.
This technique works beautifully on neck-length cuts to prevent that dreaded helmet-head look. The irregular ends catch light differently, making hair appear thicker and more dimensional.
14. Chin-Length Pageboy
Hold onto your hats—the Chin-Length Pageboy is making a serious comeback! This retro-inspired cut with its rounded shape and curved-under ends brings major vintage vibes.
Unlike its 1960s predecessor, today’s version has softer lines and more movement. My clients adore how this structured yet playful cut frames their face like a beautiful portrait.
15. Layered Shag
Though some fear the Layered Shag might be too “rock and roll,” I’ve converted countless skeptics! The combination of choppy layers throughout creates amazing texture and volume.
Hitting at neck-length, this cut offers the perfect balance between edgy and wearable. My favorite part? Watching clients toss their newly liberated locks with newfound confidence!
16. Sleek A-Line
Nothing says polished quite like a Sleek A-Line cut! The precise angle from shorter back to longer front creates a silhouette that’s both modern and timeless.
My clients with fine hair especially love how this cut creates the illusion of thickness and movement. The clean lines make this neck-length style look incredibly expensive, regardless of your hair texture.
17. Soft Undercut
Whenever someone wants edge without going full punk, I suggest a Soft Undercut! By subtly removing bulk underneath while keeping length on top, we create a neck-length style with hidden attitude.
The beauty lies in its versatility—wear it down for a conventional look or tuck it behind your ear to reveal that secret edgy side. It’s business in the front, party underneath!
18. Lob ondulé
If you’ve got natural waves, a Lob ondulé will change your life! This cut embraces your texture rather than fighting against it.
Hitting just at the collarbone, this neck-length style allows waves to spring up beautifully without falling flat. My wavy-haired clients often shed tears of joy when they realize they can finally put away their straightening irons!
19. Razored Bob
Using a razor instead of scissors creates the most incredible texture in a Razored Bob! The feathered ends move beautifully and have a lived-in look from day one.
This technique removes bulk without obvious layers, perfect for thick-haired clients. At neck length, this cut maintains structure while having an effortless, slightly undone quality that’s impossibly chic.
20. Diplômé Bob
The Graduated Bob creates magic through its architectural structure! Stacked shorter in back and gradually longer toward the front, this neck-length cut creates amazing volume.
My clients with fine hair are always amazed at how much body this cut creates without any product. The graduated layers in back provide lift while the longer front pieces maintain versatility.
