We thought J.Law might have cut her hair in early November just to be able to show off her amazing earring collection. But turns out she did it because her in-between cut "couldn't get any uglier." Her words, not ours.

The star's short hair may have been just a stop on the way to another style (Bey went from long waves to cropped to an inverted bob all in the month of August), but she had the cut for enough time to get, oh, everyone in the world talking about it.

The singer isn't the least bit scissor-shy. "I was like, come on and just chop, chop away until I say stop," she told PEOPLE of the crop she got in October. "And I originally wanted to go even shorter, but they were like, that's just too much, and I ended up with a pixie."

Sure she's a veteran of short hair, but Maggie really committed to the style last winter, transforming her shoulder-length lob into a Twiggy-inspired do.

“I didn’t watch,” the actress revealed to PEOPLE about being afraid to look when the scissors came out this past fall. But she's totally happy with the results: “I think I’ve needed this for a long time."

Next time your hairstylist says, "Can I get you anything? Water? Coffee? Tea? Coco?" be careful how you answer since The Coco refers to the supermodel who lobbed off lots of length in August, resulting in a funky pixie.

"My first thought was, 'Holy crap, I hope [Jack Osbourne] likes it,' " Lisa told PEOPLE of her decision to go short in September. Luckily, her famous husband is a fan: "He loves me with any type of short hair."
