Before you book
Decide your bob length against your jaw and neck, not the photo: a chin-length bob on a long neck looks like a jaw-length bob on a shorter one.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a bob and a lob?
A bob usually ends between the jaw and the shoulders; a lob (“long bob”) ends at or below the collarbone. The lob is the lower-commitment option — long enough for a ponytail, short enough to feel like a change.
What do I ask my stylist or barber for?
Ask for a bob at your chosen length (chin, jaw or collarbone), and specify blunt or layered ends — that single choice changes the whole feel of the cut.
