Stylists Rate Shiloh's "Princess Charming" Haircut

Everybody's got an opinion on three-year-old Shiloh Jolie-Pitt's new 'do -- including the professionals.
"It's very Princess Charming," celebrity stylist Matthew James Fugate tells UsMagazine.com of the cropped cut Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter debuted Tuesday at a Paris clothing store. The new 'do "embrace[s] femininity in a [style] that's not superlong," says Fugate, who works out of Manhattan's Sam Brocato Salon.

Fugate -- who also makes "house calls" for clients' young kids -- compares the "soft, dainty" cut to styles once worn by Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams. "Not all little girls have to look like beauty queens with pageant hair," he explains to Us.
"It's a precious haircut and she has a beautiful face," says Rachel Gower, founder of Upper Hand Salons in Houston, Tex. and an on-air style expert. But Gower, who often cuts kids' hair, speculates whether Shiloh's "modified pixie" was intentional. "That's a real precision haircut" for wiggly three-year olds, she tells Us. "What will happen is, you're about to make a really important cut, and the child jerks...It might have been that was going to get a bob at first!"

"It's not a contrived look," stylist and StyloNY.com co-founder Giulia Heiman tells Us. Heiman has worked with celebs like Amy Poehler, Chloe Sevigny, LeAnn Rimes and even Jolie herself. ("She is unique in her own right," says Heiman, who assisted celeb stylist Ted Gibson when we he styled Jolie's tresses.) "A short, cropped little shag like that is great for a little kid. It's gonna grow out well. She can go roll around the dirt and still look really cute."

"I would give it an A-plus," Cozy Friedman of Cozy's Cuts for Kids in Manhattan raves to Us. "Shiloh has fine hair; by cutting it short, it makes it look thicker and healthier," says Friedman, whose young clients include Hollywood director Sofia Coppola's young daughter Romy.
"A short haircut on a girl isn't always that easy to carry," Friedman points out. "Shiloh can carry it. She's very easygoing, like her parents, and can carry a lot of looks well."

The kid stylist doubts Shiloh chose the cut herself. "At the age of 3, it's still more about what the parents want. Once they get older, maybe 5 or 6, it becomes a negotiation."
And Friedman (also CEO of So Cozy Hair Care for Children products) "absolutely" predicts new client requests for the "Shiloh cut." She should know: "we get a lot of requests for the Maddox cut. We're doing tons of faux baby faux-hawks all the time."
Another popular celeb kid cut request? "People come in asking for Suri cuts for their daughter."

Tell Us What You Think
317I think it's a cute enough hair style. It may not be what I would choose for my daughter, but it's not something I would say "absolutely not" to either, should she ask for such a cut. I mean at 2 I got the "Mary Lou Rhetton" hair cut and had a pixie style most of my young years. As for not bothering with a little girls hair, let me tell you. My 5 year old has extremely fine, brittle, curly hair. I "bother" with it every day with detangling spray, cream rinse, and a wide tooth comb and am met daily with the crying and screaming that comes with knots and snarls. Sometimes it has to be done because the bottom part of the hair has become damaged like my daughters was after 5 years and no hair cuts.
I cannot believe you guys are saying this. I sure hope none of you guys are parents because you're all so judgmental and vain.
If Angelina didn't want to bother taking care of her daughter's hair, then the black girl would be shaved bald. Such a rediculous excuse to say Angie doesn't want to spend the time taking care of Shiloh's hair. The black girl's hair would take more time to care for than Shiloh's. Maybe she wants to look like a boy. She's obiously wanting to dress like a boy.
I think Suri is alot prettier, Shiloh looks like Jon Voight with his fat face. The hairstyle is ok, but she is not that pretty based on her parents looks.
When I see a little girl with a short haircut, it screams out that the mother does not want to bother with the little girl's hair. My girls were just as beautiful as Shiloh and I didn't cut their hair, because I was willing to take the time and care for them the way a mother should.
Stylists rating a 3 year olds hair? What a stupid article. She's a little girl for pete's sake--a baby. Must not be enough to write about.

PLEASE LET ME SEE A PICTURE OF THAT LIL GIRL WITH HER HAIR DONE.THAT IS ALL SMOOCHES.
I think it is a cute appropriate cut for a three year old. She looks like a doll.
Bottom line..why do Brad and Angie have MILLIONS of dollars, but don't care enough about their kids to buy them DECENT clothing? I'm not saying Vera Wang here, I mean Wal-Mart or Target!! They are never dressed in outfits that are "strategically put together" Brad has taken a turn for the worst since he cheated with Angelina. He looks like he has aged 3X as fast! That disgusting lice infected beard reminds me of how these people are NO BETTER than any one of us...just white trash with a gold mine!!
At age three, this little girl seems to be having a sexual identity crisis...she's very "tomboyish" and Jolie dresses her ridiculously...everything looks second hand and quite masculine...hmmmm...
I agree. It's Shiloh's personal style to look smart and conservative. Anyone who has lived with more than 1 girl in the family, will know that some girls are more feminine and some are more tomboy. Shiloh seems to idolize her dad. Nothing wrong with this, she's still beautiful.
mein gott people. Get lives. I wore a very similar haircut until I was like in the 4th grade. I NEVER wore dresses unless I was made to- at least until I was in High School. She looks very cute in the picture. I am with the person who said it looks like a "fix" haircut.
Mom my kept my hair that way and I looked like a pretty little boy too. I hated it! Angelina can't stand even her kids upstaging her...
The hair is ok, but why do they have to call her ¨John¨... It's too much. To be beautiful is hard.
Shiloh is very beautiful, but Zahara not. That's why they want to cover Shiloh. But Poor Shiloh is a beautiful boy now!
"I would give it an A-plus," Cozy Friedman of Cozy's Cuts for Kids in Manhattan raves to Us. A short haircut on a girl isn't always that easy to carry," Friedman points out. "Shiloh can carry it. She's very easygoing, like her parents, and can carry a lot of looks well." that what we call a fashionista.
why do people care what a 3 yr olds hair look like? Aren't there starving and sick children out there to worry about?
:You people with your racist homophobic comments will burn in hell. All of those children are precious and beautiful in their own way. I predict that Zahara will be a fashion model.:
I don't understand how people can say Angie wants Shiloh to be a boy when Shiloh was smaller she was dressed in dresses and had long hair. Why didn't she dress her like a boy from the beginning? And blaming Cher for Chaz Bono's sex change? When I watched the Sonny and Cher show, Chastity was dressed like a cute little girl. That is pure nonsense. I am straight and happy with my gender. Even if my parents had put me in boy's clothes and cut my hair, it wouldn't make me think I'm a boy or want to be with women. Get real!
