Currently, my hair is long, BUT when it's been lopped off, I usually go for what my husband calls the 'Dana Scully' which only comes to my chin. The last time I cut it off, I went for what's known as a Middie. (The hair cut popular in the 40's and 50's.) The middie actually is very versatile and takes modern styling well, but it makes it easier to rock retro styles too.
