Scandi-bob and Long Bob Haircuts Trending in French Salons
The scandi‑bob with fringe has become the most requested haircut in recent weeks across Paris, Geneva and Brussels salons. Stylists note three defining features: a length that stops at the shoulder, a brushed‑up texture that adds volume at the roots, and a side‑swept fringe. Miscommunication often leads clients to receive a classic French bob instead.
Franck Provost’s training director Rémi Billaud promotes the long bob as the ideal inter‑season and summer cut. He says the length, typically between the jawline and clavicle, lightens hair, speeds drying, and holds up in heat while still allowing up‑dos such as low ponytails and loose chignons. The style adapts to various face shapes and hair types, making it a versatile choice for many customers.
Both trends emphasize ease of styling and seasonal practicality, driving strong demand among French‑based clientele.
