Beautiful Bobs versus Luscious Lobs
Every hairdresser needs to master the precision cutting techniques for a perfect bob as this is the gateway to never ending clients and a great career. Once you’ve learned the required precision you can then add your own twist, creating individual variations bespoke to each client. We’ve selected our favourite celebrity bobs and show you how to re-create these looks for your salon in the MHDPro Bob It! online hairdressing course.
Katie Holmes’ One Length Bob
Katie’s stylish one length bob is a timeless classic which transcends fashion. The perfect style to take clients from day to night – and ideal for you as it requires on-going maintenance to keep it looking perfect.

This is a fundamental and always popular salon hairstyle and the perfect starting point for mastering the bob shape.

Jourdan Dunn’s Wavy Lob
We love Jourdan’s simple bob with added curl for interest and texture. As with all great bobs the key here is the fantastic cut – which then allows the client to play with the texture.

Another Stacey masterpiece as he creates a horizontal graduated bob on permed hair, demonstrating the versatility of the shape for all types of hair texture. If hair is not naturally wavy – suggest one of the new wave/perm techniques to add extra texture and body.
Hilary Duff’s Long A line bob
The lob is still riding high in the style stakes, because it suits so many women and is one of the most versatile styles around. Hillary’s A-symmetric lob is bang on trend with the addition of soft, romantic waves.
