Are you sensing that autumn nostalgia creeping in? Ready to trade your summer vibes for knitwear, boots, and the crispness brought by the seasonal shift? Well, you’re not alone. As the leaves start to turn, many are looking for a style revolution to match the changing season, and nothing screams ‘new beginnings’ more than a transformative haircut.
This year, the showstopper is a highly polished, laser cut bob – a headline-making trend that’s dominating catwalks and celebrity looks. Devised by Tom Smith, the international artist in residence at Billi Currie, this striking style is poised to become the key short hair trend this fall.
What is this Laser Cut
Bob that’s turning heads, you ask? It’s an impeccably measured, sharp, and honed one-length bob that settles between the top of your shoulder and the corner of your jaw. Envision the precision of a high-tech laser beam, and that’s what your hair will look like—remarkably clean-cut, blunt on the ends, and even a little audacious.
But there’s an added bonus to this fabulous style—it’s versatile and universally flattering. “The length can be adapted to suit various face shapes. For a softer finish, go for chin length or longer, or for something more daring, go above the chin,” advises Smith. It’s a magnificent choice for those with fine hair, as the precise cut gives an illusion of thicker and denser hair.
However, like all things beautiful, achieving the laser cut bob requires care and precision, akin to crafting a work of art. So, this isn’t the DIY adventure to embark on—leave it to the professionals!
Ready to be inspired? Check out these celebrity-endorsed laser cut bob looks that are turning heads and setting new hair trends. From blunt bob cuts combined with stylish caps to the chic flicked ends, there’s a style to cater to every taste.
Styling the Laser Cut Bob
To keep your laser cut bob looking crisp and stylish, certain hair essentials are a must. Products with heat protection, anti-frizz properties, and smoothing serums are highly recommended. “Use these while blow-drying this shape into place and then straightening irons on a low temperature to lock in the style,” Smith suggests.

How to style the laser cut bob
