Considering A Bob Haircut? What To Know Before You Hit The Salon

The bob has taken over the red carpet, and for good reason, as it's flattering on almost everyone. But what should you know before you hit the salon? We visited Ramirez|Tran salon in Beverly Hills and met with celebrity hairstylist Anh Co Tran (who cut Coco Rocha's now famous pixie cut) on the emerging bob trend of 2014.

The good news? Every face shape and every hair type can work a bob! But how you get it cut matters. Ask for texture toward the ends, with layers in the back, to give a lived-in, messy look that doesn't look too perfect. That will modernize your cut and keep you looking cool and effortless, like Alexa Chung.

Beauty trend alert, it's all about the Bob in Hollywood right now: reese witherspoon, kate, mara, hayden, Panettiere and lily collins all showed off their Bob's on the red carpet. So why is this the hottest new hairstyle in Hollywood? And can you pull it off hi, it's Kirby! Today, I'm talking to celebrity hair stylist uncle Tran who's telling us the next big celebrity cut the Bob hey on hi, thanks for having us. Let'S get started so on your predicting that the Bob is the next big celebrity trend, which we've actually seen a lot of just during award season. But what makes this take so fresh and modern thanks to fashion to bringing more style more geometric. Look and it's just a little more, you know chic, but the key is to have texture and movement and that's the difference that makes it modern exactly has more of a living Tasos sex appeal to it. Kinda looks a little bit like Bed Head absolutely. So you know a lot about going shorter because you did give Jennifer her pixie cut and Coco Rocha. Absolutely I love them because they love change kind of pushing the envelope right. They love to push the envelope they like to change. Have you had a lot of clients come in lately asking for a bob? Oh my god. Yes, a lot they want to change, they wanted to be more stylish, they won't have a little more for style and who do you think their inspiration is when they come in and ask for a bob Alexa Chung, of course huge and I'm a big fan of Ours, I think she has my style well she's, like the typical cool girl. She has the messy textured bob already so n is feminine. So a lot of people always think. Like I'm gon na go short, I mean getting more boys wrong. This can be. You know. Very feminine, so if you're thinking about getting the cut yourself - and you don't know where to start on - is breaking down the top tips, you need to know before you hit the salon, bring in pictures and pictures and hitches. So we pin it up, put a weight on, do a lot of things, excel fees and all these are the shows just to make sure that it will seek you and, if you're, considering getting a bob make sure you do this before you see your stylist know Your texture of hair and know how long you want to spend doing hair is there a particular face, shape or hair type that works better for above and everyone can get away with, because there's different lengths, there's different variations of you know Bob. So so do you have any parting tips for someone that might be on the fence about getting a bob? I do keep it longer, keep it longer and you can always for shorter start with a lob and then work your way up, absolutely we'll be keeping our eyes on the red carpet throughout awards season and beyond to see who else gets the cut? What a transformation! I absolutely love the Bob on Shay a great job, but you must know what you're doing you have to do this for a living maybe get paid for it. This looks fantastic, it's fresh, it's modern! It suits her perfectly. So, thank you so much for showing us how come you so welcome anytime.

rosie: I want to get a bob so bad but I dont wanna get out of the hair salon looking like lord farquard

Nance gh: I had a long hair for 4 years and chopped it off two weeks ago. It's shoulder length and my hair feels so healthy and really thicker since I have fine hair. Now the downside is some liked it and some thought I looked different. But I personally adore it and think it suits me since I have a small face and long hair is dragging my features down and makes me look so old.

HKitizzle: Now I know what to expect this season with my clients! I'll be sure to sharpen my shears to get ready for lots of bob cuts ;) One of my clients actually asked me what the trend is going to be for 2014, and I did not know until now!

Adele Parli: I just recently cut my hair into a collarbone-length bob because I got an undercut about a year ago and I really needed to even out my hair. I think I definitely prefer long hair, just because I had sorted out so many cute styles that were quick and easy, but I do really love my bob! It looks stunning on the girl in the video though :)

mista: what a talented man..i never leave a hair saloon happy..i need him in my lifeee

Rand Ghz: I want to get that hair cut so badly, but my hair is so long it's hard for me to just chap it!

Gingerbread Girl: I can't wait to cut my own hip length hair into a bob!!!!!! I'm gonna go do it myself right now, I just needed a few tips on how to cut. This guy is so cool and talented!! 

anna: I've had long hair all my life and I finally think it's time for a change. I'm only 85% ready to do it because no one at my school has short hair except for boys and maybe 1 or 2 girls. I'm also ready to get a shorter hair style because I got my hair stuck in a brush (wow) and I had to chop off some of it. It looks uneven and it doesn't blend in with my hair at all. I don't know if I should get it shorter because I'm getting braces soon - but then again I rather have it short than have a section of it sticking out from the rest.

Chantal Said: what to know before you go to the salon...you're a grown ass human and you can do whatever you want with your hair. Whether the internet says you can pull it off or not.

Trin Murray: They should have kept the part the same as in the video for the after picture. It looks weird parted that way but she looks absolutely stunning in the video! She looks so amazing it makes me want to chop my hair but I have too many weird layers from having bangs last winter. My longest layers are still barely past my chin!

Δήμητρα Καραγιάννη: I just cut my hair today and got a bob and I love it, best haircut I have ever had.

narisaL97: I want HIM to do my hair! omg

karrye: I watched this and another million videos, downloaded a million pictures, went to the salon, told the hair stylist what i wanted and got the opposite of it... never going to a salon ever again... from now on i'm chopping my hair all by myself, now if i fuck up, at least i didn't have to pay for it.

Kelly Anderson: I had a bob for two years best thing i ever did was grow it out i let my layers grow out aswell. My hair is wavy/curly very thick and i don't really have a style i just keep letting it grow. I don't care about being in style i am forty years old and my hair is very healthy and looks good the way it is i will never cut mine again..

Vinet M: I love him! I did exactly that! I did a faux Bob and fooled my family and friends.

This is charlie: Got my hair cut short and I love it! Girls with shaved hair look bad ass

Keisha: Her hair looks awesome!

cheeo 1620: omgods. I cut my hair short as F! 7 months ago... I was like the happiest person ever! but after a week i was going crazy! cuz I rly did not see a lot of gurls with short hair, but NOW! everyone has like short Bobs :D yay! lol 

Bety Simova: I've cut my hair (bob hairstyle) today and now I have really fluffy, poofy and round haircut but I'm afraid it will not be poofy in a few days.

Megan Ravizza: I love bobs but they look bad on me bc my hair just goes crazy frizzy\curly. and I'm too lazy to style!

M Hastings: I love the haircut he gave to that girl and I'd love to have the same hairstyle except I don't know any good stylist ;(

Eu Sei: You can also go outside on a windy day. Same effect, no cost! (So, the idea is to look like you woke up and didn't brush your hair. Very nice, yup.)

ProvocatuerBarbie25: He is very talented. Love that modern edgy androgynous  look!!

RedLadyBug 91: I'm getting my haircut on the 6th may, I have naturally curly fizzy hair which I straighten every day. It's so dead so I was thinking about having a bob or a lob. I have an oval shaped face and I like to have bangs I start with straight bangs but my hair grows so fast it always ends up as a side bangs. What products and things would you recommend for my hair? Thanks x

Lucy El: very helpful! thank u!

Kim N: her hair looks great!

Iris dw: Does someone know if she has layers in her hair? I started with a lob, but I have layers and not quite sure if that's the way it should be. I really love the curled bob hairstyle (example Lily Collins) 

Elisa Gil: I had lob but then I cut it shorter and I think it looks good on me I absolutely love bobs

Laruen Dragonsflame: I love Lily Collin's bob, but i would have to get a shoulder length one because of sports

Shraddha Hudale: very helpful!! thanks

karena222fu: the problem for us not famous ppl is THEY HAVE PROFESSIONALS DOING THEIR HAIR- in the REAL world NO make sure you knoiw what you want you all bring pics in there is no such thing as a magic wand Jose' Eber was great in the 80's once you cut you cannot go back texture thickness can make your hair hard to manage in the 90's evey one loved jen aniston's hair u have to do what is right for you not going by the latest trends

Michelle Walles: I've never had hair past wear the bottom of my bra strap would be. it just annoys me. but now I have a long Bob and I'm thinking of going shorter when my side cut grows out. aha but this is fab, I want him to be my stylist

Roy xo: i'm thinking about cutting my hair, but i have round face so i don't think its gonna suit me :(

SophieEvax: should I get a bob like hers or go longer..... decisions!!! on one hand styling me hair (curling/straightening) would take soooo much longer for longer hair on the other hand when I can't be bothered doing that what would I do to make shorter hair seem presentable!!!

Gloria Sheen: the harsh reality is that you cannot get that cut without some huge expense... or else you resort to lame ass stylists that fucks up your hair and makes you feel like it is due to your miscommunication or ridiculous standards/ requirements.....

花木Joyce: I have an Asian face and "good" cheekbones according to my family. Would a long bob look good with my hair

Spicy coco Cute: Well I have an appointment this Friday and I will go with this look bob chick lol

Amanda G: That awkward handshake/hand slap in the beginning

Kelly Elle: Love Anh Co Tran! I follow his Instagram & Ramirez Tran blog! Love, love, love!

Tiffany H: Watches video for hair tips... starts fangirling over Once Upon a Time at the mention of Ginny XD

Jenn: If you have a lot of breakage that's shorter than that (including a lot of front unfortunately) do you think this cut would look like a mullet?

M: I would love to have a bob with volume but I have few hair and it's curly... Is it a bad idea?

nessajane021: What brand and diameter is the curling iron used in this video?

uaena*once: i have really long straight hair and want a whole new look that i wont regret i dont just want 86t top be a blunt blob maybe a cute look but i raspy dont know what to do because Mr friends tell me to keep it long

camila: She looks hotter! I love this type of hair cut

lanadelexo: I have a diamondish round face and straight waist length hair. I want a bob but i dont think my face shape suits and I wouldn't pull it off. Anyone with a similar face shape have tips or experience with a bob or lob?
