The women’s French bob is a classic, timeless haircut with a modern twist — shorter in length, typically ending around the jawline or just above the chin, with soft texture and natural movement. At Timberlodge Parlor, we specialize in customized French bobs that flatter your features and capture that effortless chic that makes this cut a favorite around the world.
What Is a French Bob
The French bob is defined by its shorter length, often cut slightly above the shoulders and paired with subtle layering, soft texture, and a face-framing shape. Unlike a traditional long bob (lob), the French bob embraces a more compact silhouette that highlights bone structure and brings attention to the jawline.
This haircut looks equally striking worn sleek and polished, tousled with natural waves, or styled with a bit of texturizing product for extra dimension. It’s an ideal choice for clients who want a fresh, versatile look that feels modern yet timeless.
Precision Cutting for Your Face Shape
Your French bob begins with a consultation to determine the exact length, weight distribution, and texture that best suits your hair type and lifestyle. During this process, we consider:
- Face shape and bone structure
- Hair density and natural movement
- Desired styling preferences
- Daily maintenance goals
Your barber uses tailored shearing and texturizing techniques to ensure the cut feels balanced and the ends land cleanly without appearing blunt or heavy. Where appropriate, soft layering adds movement while maintaining the characteristic French bob shape.
Styling and Wearability
One of the French bob’s greatest benefits is its versatility. Wear it smooth and classic with a center part, or embrace a casually tousled finish using a light styling cream or texturizing spray. We’ll show you how to achieve multiple looks from the same cut so you can tailor your style from day to night.
Because this haircut sits around the jawline, it naturally highlights facial features and pairs beautifully with a variety of wardrobe and personal style choices.

This haircut is a great option for clients who:
- Want a stylish, modern haircut with easy wearability
- Love the look of shorter hair but want soft movement
- Appreciate expert shaping around the jawline
