14 Chic Buzz Cut Styles to Screenshot For Your Next Salon Visit

Move over, pixie; buzz cuts are having a major moment. Close-to-the-scalp crops achieved with an electric razor or seriously fine scissor work are definitely not reserved for the bold and daring among us. TBH, it's one of the most talked-about looks across all aesthetics—and for good reason. It's chic and lends itself to the simplest of wash-and-go haircare routines. And it seems like every week, another celebrity is stepping out with a shaved head, from Kristen Stewart's platinum blonde rendition to Florence Pugh's sunset orange and pink buzz.

We've gathered the best buzzcuts to spark inspiration for your next salon trip. Plus, we've gathered expert tips from Roi Nadin, head stylist at George Northwood, on hair type considerations and how to prep your skin for a shaved head and avoid having a dry, flaky scalp.

Keep scrolling to see the 14 best buzz cut hairstyles in Hollywood and beyond.

What Hair Types Work With Buzz Cuts?

A buzz cut works with pretty much any hair texture, hairline, and face shape. What is key to understand is that hair is as transformative for the face as makeup.

"A buzz cut takes away any shape from the face. You may not realize how much your hair adds definition and can soften your facial features," says Nadin. "If you have hard features, a buzz cut will make them even stronger. Soft features are best for a buzz cut; in fact, it can give soft features more definition."

What Products Should I Use With a Buzz Cut?

"If you've taken all your hair off, then you may be missing out on playing with products," says Nadin. "Take advantage of the access to your scalp! The Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea-Salt ($19) is amazing with that direct access to the scalp. Heaven!" 

"For treatment to keep the scalp in tip-top condition, Phyto Phytopolleine Botanical Scalp Treatment ($40) has a well-deserved reputation," Nadin continues. "Whatever your scalp issue or even just to give it some TLC, this will balance it out."

The Best Women's Buzz Cuts

Adwoa Aboah

Model Aboah pairs a buzz cut with another tricky beauty trend—bleached brows, yet it totally works.

Natalie Portman

The actress stepped out at Cannes Film Festival in 2005 with a buzz cute she donned for a role in "V is For Vendetta." We're rooting that she reboots the style in the near future as she pulls it off effortlessly.

Kristen Stewart

Stewart bleached and cut her hair for a role, as well, but kept the look short as it grew, transforming it into a pixie, and, later on, a mullet.

Florence Pugh

Florence Pugh wowed at the Met Gala in 2023, debuting a completely shaved head. Since then, she's grown her buzz cut into various looks, like this fun, sunset pink, ombré moment.

Jordan Alexander

"Gossip Girl" reboot starlet Jordan Alexander's is proof that any hairline—including her Widow's peak—can pull off a buzz cut, from straight to triangle, curved to uneven.

Solange Knowles

Knowles pairs standout lashes and a striking lip with her super-short, textured hair. It's a super femme take on a traditionally masculine look.

Agyness Deyn

Deyn and her buzz cut took the fashion world by storm back in the noughties, sparking a generation of short hairstyle lovers.

Lupita Nyong'o

Nyong'o isn't afraid to experiment with her hair, and we love this grown-out buzz cut on her.

Charlize Theron

Theron famously loved the buzz cut she got for the film "Mad Max," so much so, that she kept the look for a long time after production finished.

Demi Moore

Moore shaved her head for the iconc 1997 flick, "G.I. Jane," which was a sharp departure from the medium-length cut she had been rocking (and the super long locks she favors now).

Amandla Stenberg

Amandla Stenberg isn't afraid to go there when it comes to hairstyles, but their decision to go buzzed is definitely one of our favorites to date.

Cate Blanchett

Blanchett was yet another actress who shaved her head for a role in a film. This pic was snapped at LAX airport in 2002 and still serves as hair inspo today, proving the timelessness of the buzz cut.

KeKe Palmer

Actress KeKe Palmer debuted her lilac buzz with a matching purple lip.

Cara Delevingne

Let's be honest. Is there any haircut Delevingne can't pull off? We think not. This buzz cut makes her signature, bold brows, and blue eyes stand out even more than before.
