The French Bob with Paul Davey
About the masterclass
Duration: 48 mins
The French Bob is more than just a haircut—it’s a statement. Rooted in 1920s Parisian style and revived on modern runways, this timeless look has seen a huge resurgence in recent years thanks to its effortless elegance and versatility.
A French Bob is typically shorter than a classic bob, often cut to sit just below the ears, and is usually paired with a blunt fringe or soft curtain bangs. What sets it apart is its deliberately tousled, undone texture—designed to look effortlessly chic rather than overly polished.
In this masterclass, you'll learn how to create the perfect French Bob with precision cutting techniques, how to tailor it to suit different face shapes and hair textures, and how to finish it with that signature undone, lived-in feel.
Whether your client wants something chic and classic or cool and contemporary, the French Bob offers endless potential—and now you can master it with confidence.
