Q&A with the style creator, Brooke Schwartz
Hairstylist @ Mad One Jacks Salon in Hoboken, NJ
What would you say about this style and what’s the most appealing thing about it?
This style as a short, sharp and easy razor cut haircut! It’s one of my top short bob styles to make. What I like most about this style all is how easily to maintain the style. This cut grows beautifully and is easily cut in a matter of moments!
What are the best products to preserve and recreate this style?
Products play a huge aspect in this look! I love using Paul Mitchell’s HydroCreamWhip before blow drying to make sure that my hair is silky smooth and retains a touchable volume. Another option that I would recommend is to use a cream for texture from Paul Mitchell called Reworks. I apply my hands or a paddle brush to dry my hair. When the hair is dry then an ocean salt spray can be added to give it a beach-like appearance. It can be applied straight or after using an iron that curls across the hair. Then finish with the shine spray or light finishing spray, and you’re done!
What kind of client would you recommend this style for?
This style is ideal for the person who does minimal or no styling whatsoever. It’s an ideal on-the-go fashion and is slightly more edgy than the traditional Vidal Sassoon hairstyle. Face shape plays a major aspect in deciding on the length, particularly on the front. A face that is more narrow is preferred, however, for those with a rounder face take more length so that it doesn’t encase the chin and increase the length of the face. This is a great look for those who are active since it looks professional but not overly refined. This style is perfect for someone who does not necessarily need an office job.

I am an John Paul Mitchell Systems girl all the way through, and the products I recommend will always be part of that range! If your hair is wet, I’d recommend Rare Oil Style Perfecting Serum. It nourishes it, gives shine and maintains the style throughout the day long. To protect your hair from heat damage for dry hair I would recommend using hot off the Press. For a hairspray, I would suggest Marula’s rare oil perfecting Hairspray because it’s very resistant to humidity and extremely versatile. To give your hair a more textured look I would recommend Paul Mitchell Neon Sugar Spray.

What I really love about this wavy bob style is that it looks great on a lot of my clients! If someone has thick and long hair, this haircut lets me to shed a significant amount of weight, while creating the illusion of body and movement. If someone has slim hair, cutting it to this length may give an illusion of having thick hair. It can also give the volume and layers that a thin-haired client would never have thought they could attain or have themselves! This style is perfect for those who feel stuck and are looking to “do” your hair better! You can think less of your everyday ponytail, and some everyday curls and be sassy. A shorter hairstyle means lesser time curled!

It and has a very clean, elegant look and an organic light honey, dimensional shade. For styling, you can use a round brush to give it a bit of body.
