Temple arms are the first thing I check before I cut, because hair that gets pushed out by the frames looks puffy at the sides by lunchtime. For short hairstyles for women over 60 who wear glasses, I cut dry, keep the sides close, and cut any fringe while the glasses are on so it clears the frame.
1. Classic Pixie With Glasses
The classic pixie is where I start with a short hair style for women over 60 with glasses because nothing falls onto the frames. I cut the sides and back with scissor over comb on dry hair and point cut the top to three inches, checking the length against the temple arms. It suits fine to medium density and oval or heart faces. Rub a light paste between your palms and push the top forward. Trim every five weeks.
2. Chin Length Bob Tucked Behind the Ears
A chin bob tucked behind the ears keeps the hair off the temple arms. I cut the perimeter at the chin on dry hair with point cut ends, then cut the sides a little shorter so they tuck without pushing the frames out. It suits fine to medium density and oval or square faces. Air-dry with a light cream and tuck both sides. Trim every six weeks and gloss every eight.
3. Short Layered Cut With Side Swept Fringe
A side swept fringe over glasses needs to end above the top of the frame. I cut the back and sides with graduation on dry hair, point cut the crown short, and cut the fringe from the brow to the cheekbone while the client wears her glasses so it clears the frame. It suits fine to medium density and square or round faces. Blow-dry the fringe across with a flat brush. Trim every five weeks.
4. Pixie Bob With Glasses
A pixie bob with glasses keeps the front at the cheekbone and the back short, so the frames sit in the gap. I cut the nape with graduation on dry hair, let the front fall to the cheekbone, and point cut layers through the top. It suits fine to medium density and oval or round faces. Blow-dry with a flat brush pushing the front forward. Trim every five weeks and gloss every eight.
5. Textured Crop With Bold Frames
Bold frames take a textured crop with the top pushed up so the glasses are the only line at the face. I cut the sides and back with scissor over comb on dry hair and point cut the top to two and a half inches, roughing the ends. It suits fine to medium density and oval or heart faces. Rub a matte paste between your palms and push the top up. Trim every four weeks.
6. Short Shag With Wispy Bangs and Glasses
Wispy bangs with glasses are cut from a shallow section so they sit lightly above the frame. I cut the perimeter at the jaw on dry hair, point cut choppy layers through the sides, and point cut the bangs with the shears vertical while the client wears her glasses. It suits fine density and oval or long faces. Blow-dry the bangs flat with a small brush. Trim the bangs every four weeks.

It suits fine to medium density and round or square faces. Blow-dry the fringe across with a flat brush. Use a violet shampoo weekly. Trim every five weeks.
8. Stacked Bob With Glasses
A stacked bob with glasses adds height at the back so the frames do not take all the attention. I cut the nape short with graduation on dry hair, stack the layers up to the crown, and leave the front at the chin, tucking one side behind the temple arm. It suits fine to medium density and round or square faces. Blow-dry the back with a round brush rolling under. Trim every six weeks.
9. Short Hair Style for Women Over 60 With Glasses and Fine Hair
Fine hair over 60 with glasses takes a short cut with crown layers so the frames do not sit against flat hair.

Blow-dry upside down with a root lifting mousse and smooth the sides. Trim every five weeks.
10. Curtain Bangs Cut Above the Frames
Curtain bangs with glasses are cut shorter at the center so they clear the top of the frame, then lengthen to the cheekbone.

It suits medium density and square or round faces. Blow-dry the bangs out with a round brush. Trim the bangs every five weeks.
11. Short Bob With Blunt Fringe and Glasses
A blunt fringe with glasses sits a quarter inch above the top of the frame.

It suits medium to thick density and oval or long faces. Blow-dry flat with a paddle brush. Trim the fringe every three weeks.

Temple arms are the first thing I check before I cut, because hair that gets pushed out by the frames looks puffy at the sides no matter how clean the line is. For short hair style for women over 60 with glasses I keep the hair at the ear just long enough to tuck, never to fight the arm. A little paste keeps the pieces lying flat behind the frame. oval face haircuts stay the shape I reach for most, and the same length rules apply whether the hair is thick, fine, silver, or round-faced.
