It's the most high-profile pixie cut in recent memory.

Yes, we're talking about Beyoncé Knowles, who just unveiled her new 'do on Instagram.

Knowles kept her makeover local: Neal Farinah, who has a salon in Brooklyn, wielded the scissors.

Rita Hazan, who's been working with Mrs. Carter for a year, did Beyoncé's hue; the singer chopped off her hair Tuesday night and colored it Wednesday night. Initially, says Hazan, "Her hair was long and went down her back. She'd been thinking about it for a while and she wanted to go for it and cut it. It was a moment that she had."

Hazan describes the new look as "old Hollywood meets modern day. I started with her natural hair color. I left her base color the same and took thin pieces and highlighted them to this Champagne blond hair. It's soft but strong at the same time."

And no, the new style had nothing to do with Beyoncé getting her hair stuck in a fan during her Montreal show back in July. "No, no, not at all. I don't think she even stopped singing. It's insane," says Hazan.

Proving that the singer really can do anything, Beyoncé also biked to her final concert in Brooklyn.
