Precision Bob Systems
Combine blunt cutting, layering, and detailing to deliver modern precision bobs for every hair type.
Blueprint
- Consultation: Decide on graduation, internal layering, and fringe.
- Sectioning: Create strong horizontal partings, clip away crown.
- Back panel: Cut perimeter with blunt precision, slight under elevation for bevel.
- Sides: Over-direct slightly backward for internal weight (or keep stationary for sharp square lines).
- Crown: Layer or keep solid depending on desired volume.
- Detailing: Dry hair, refine with Point Cutting or slide for softness.
Tool pairing
- Primary shear 5.5”–6.0” micro-serrated or convex depending on desired finish.
- Longer shear for slicing internal layers if needed.
Checkpoints
- Cross-check vertical and diagonal sections.
- Assess balance from multiple angles with mirror.
- Fine-tune perimeter with minimal open/close motion for crisp line.
Practice
- Execute classic, graduated, and French bobs on mannequins.
- Time each variation and track efficiency improvements.
Maintenance note
Bob work exposes dullness quickly—follow Daily Protocol and shorten sharpening intervals if you cut many bobs weekly.
