On September 1st I went to Lorraine Aprile Salon
to get my long blonde hair chopped off. I was super excited! I was bored by my
long locks and ready for something new.
In short (pun intended), I wanted a modern 1920s bob.
A true 1920s bob was very short, cut bluntly across the cheekbones
with thick bangs cut ending above the eyebrows and symmetrical all the way
around.
I wanted my hair to end a little longer, before my chin and
my bangs to fall a bit over my eyebrows. I used Katie Holmes bob pictures as
reference. (Cutting her hair short was the best thing Katie H ever did.)
This length:
These bangs:
Most importantly I wanted razor cut ends to add some
texture.
My stylist was Kris and she knew exactly what I wanted. She
had plenty of experience with retro hairstyles and she was great to work with.
They also gave me free wine so that was a bonus. Even better, the first cut was
half off, so I ended up only paying $33 for it!
This is the end result! I love it!
It’s super easy to deal with. Quick to blow dry and I only
need to use a round brush to get the look. I can’t wait to play with it and see
what else I can do. :)
