The Bob: Why This Iconic Haircut Never Goes Out of Style

At Wiles Studios in Northampton, we’re seeing the bob reclaim its place as one of the most requested and stylish cuts this season. Timeless, flattering, and endlessly versatile, the bob has never really gone away, it simply reinvents itself. From the ultra-chic old money bob to softly textured micro bobs, there's a version of this classic look to suit everyone.

Whether you're drawn to the elegance of a French bob, the structure of a box bob, or prefer a cheek-skimming cut with a sharp angle, there’s a style that will reflect your personality and suit your daily routine. Some bobs are sleek and smooth, others are full of movement with textured layers or soft waves. You can keep things polished with a blunt finish or soften the look with feather-light layering or a wispy fringe.

The strength of the bob lies in its adaptability. It can be dressed up with big volume at the roots or styled into casual waves for an effortlessly cool finish. For something bolder, a micro fringe or face-framing bang can transform your current bob into something fresh and fashion-forward. And if you’re looking for added dimension, subtle colour techniques like balayage or soft highlights can give your style extra depth and lightness.

At Wiles Studios, we believe the perfect haircut goes far beyond the chair. A great bob needs to be tailored to your face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle. That’s why we start every appointment with a free one on one consultation, where we get to know a bit about you, your routine, your personal style, and how much time you want to spend styling your hair at home. It’s this personalised approach that allows our expert stylists to craft a bob that not only looks amazing the moment you leave the salon, but continues to work for you day after day.

Because no two people and no two heads of hair are the same, seeing and assessing your hair in person is essential. We'll work with you to find the right length, shape, and finish, and show you how to style your new look with ease.

Why not complete your bob haircut with a beautiful, high shine colour? At Wiles Studios, we offer a range of on-trend colouring techniques, from face-framing highlights and balayage to bold colour paneling to create a stunning finish tailored just for you.
