Bobs, Lobs and Mobs

Bobbed Hair Cuts at Haringtons Hair Salons

If there’s one hair cut that has lasted the test of time it’s the bob! Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian are just some of the celebs to give the bob a new twist in recent years and this classic cut shows no sign of diminishing in popularity.  

The team at Haringtons Hair Salons will give you the lowdown on bobs, lobs and mobs and if you fancy trying on next time you book into the salon, we’ll find the look that’s perfect for you.

The Classic Bob

For the traditionalists among you, the classic bob should be the same length all the way around the head. The underneath will be cut slightly shorter than the top sections to help the hair to flip inwards. A classic bob rests just below the chin, but this look can also be much shorter (or longer).

The Lob or Mob

The Lob or Mob – or the long or medium bob – is much like the Classic Bob but is usually an inch or two longer. Your Haringtons stylist has the expertise to assess which type of bob would best suit your facial features….we’re always happy to have a chat through what you think you need so just pop into the salon for more information.

The A-Line Bob

An A-Line Bob is cut shorter in the back and is angled in a fairly sharp line so it is longer at the front. A classic A-Line bob would be one length, but these days more clients are asking for graduated or stacked bobs which has layers at the back. 

The Graduated Bob

A graduated bob is cut shorter at the back and angled so it is longer at the front. The back is usually stacked or layered to give a graduated look that builds up to the shortest layers that are three or four inches in length.
