pixies tend to usually be shorter than faries unless in the exceptional cases. pixies dont have wings while faries do (there can be a lot of debate about this point so dont consider it a mian one or a well known fact). pixies are usually refered to as notorious, while faries tend to be good. faries are usually assigened to a cetain task depending on what type of faires (like fairy god-mothers) while pixies are free. but usually unless a pixie is an entrepeneur its a servant. faries usually have wands (again depending on what type of fiary) while pixies dont. pixies dont exactly grant any wishes while faries do have the ability to do so. note that all these are actually sterotypes and some of them were infact forgotton in the case of tinkerbell, but the points that were considered are the main ones.

A fairy, or faerie, is a spirit or supernatural being that is found in the legends, folklore, and mythology of many different cultures. They are generally human like in their appearance and have supernatural abilities such as the ability to fly, cast spells and to influence or foresee the future. Although in modern culture they are often depicted as young, sometimes winged, females of small stature, they originally were of a much different image: tall, angelic beings and short, wizened trolls being some of the commonly mentioned fay. The small, gauzy-winged fairies that are commonly depicted today did not appear until the 1800s.

Pixies are mythical creatures of English folklore, considered to be particularly concentrated in the areas around Devon and Cornwall, suggesting some Celtic origin for the belief and name. In regional dialect, these mischievous little folk are sometimes referred to as piskies/piskeys or the little people. They are usually depicted as wingless, with pointed ears, and often wearing a green outfit and pointed hat. Sometimes their eyes are described as being pointed upwards at the temple ends.

Pixies are male and pranksters.
They are mischievious and play tricks on people.

Fairies are female and help people.
Pixies have very short hair and fairies have long hair.

That is why you hear the term "Pixie haircut". It means very short haircut with short bangs.
