Celebrity Hair Stylist & Founder of Melissa Salons, Melissa Timperley, shares her expert take on the bobs dominating 2025 with us- from sleek and sculpted to wild and windswept. Whether you’re craving Parisian polish or effortless volume, there’s a bob to match your summer energy.
The Luxe Bob
A long, sophisticated take on the classic bob, this shoulder-skimming cut is perfect for a polished yet effortless look. Invisible layering adds natural volume and movement, making it a flattering option for most hair types. Its versatile length allows you to pull it up easily—ideal for staying cool and chic during the summer months.
The Butterfly Bob
A choppy, layered bob designed to enhance natural texture—perfect for showcasing curls and waves. This airy, effortless cut adds movement and volume, making it an ideal holiday hairstyle that looks great with minimal styling.
The Snap Bob
A super-short micro bob cut clean above the jawline for sharp, modern impact. Best worn square and one-length to avoid a mushroom shape, with the option of an undercut for low hairlines. Made famous as the (CLB) seen on White Lotus and rocked by Pamela Anderson at the Met Gala, this style screams attitude. Pair it with a fringe for the ultimate cool-girl look.
PB Parisian Bob
Chic, nonchalant, and irresistibly cool—the PB Parisian Bob is the new evolution of the classic French bob. Cut to graze the jawline with soft, piecey texture, it strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and undone charm. With a subtle fringe or face-framing ends, this style flatters the bone structure best worn tousled, it’s the ultimate haircut for those who want to look effortlessly polished with minimal styling.
The Bixie
This hybrid style offers the best of both worlds—short and low-maintenance, yet with enough length to play with volume and shape. It’s playful, modern, and perfect for anyone wanting a statement look that’s both edgy and feminine. Great for those growing out shorter styles or those wanting to dip their toe in shorter styles.
The Dolce Bob
The glamorous evolution of the Italian Bob— its best cut below the jaw and then layered to create full of volume. With its tousled body and bouncy silhouette, this style brings instant va-va-voom. Think effortless sex appeal with a touch of vintage screen siren. Feminine, bold, and dripping with confidence, it’s the perfect cut for those who want their hair to make a statement before they even speak.
The Cowboy Bob
Rugged meets refined in the Cowboy Bob—a modern, textured bob. Slightly longer at the front with shaggy, undone layers, this cut channels effortless cool with a rebellious edge. It pairs perfectly with curtain bangs or a sweeping fringe, giving it that lived-in, windswept feel. Think city-chic meets desert muse—confident, carefree, and unapologetically stylish.
