The Cut That’s Taking Over NYC This Month

It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane—it’s a haircut. And not just any haircut, but the cut. The one that’s making fashionistas, TikTok influencers, and your friend who’s “never spontaneous with her hair” all book appointments like their social life depends on it. This month, New York is buzzing with clippers, scissors, and that unmistakable feeling of, “I need a change.”

If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, you’re in the right place. We’re about to break down the hairstyle that’s owning the streets of NYC—and trust us, it’s not just a trim.

What’s the Cut Everyone’s Talking About?

Meet The Modern French Bob—a sleek, chin-grazing style with micro-bangs and just enough volume to say, “I woke up like this” while still looking red carpet-ready.

Imagine Amélie from Montmartre moved to SoHo and became a fashion editor. That’s the vibe.

The Cedric Salon Touch

You can get a bob anywhere. But getting it right? That’s where Cedric Salon steps in. This Hair Salon in New York has become the gold standard for effortlessly cool, expertly cut hair. What sets them apart? Precision, personalization, and a vibe that makes you feel like a star—even before the makeover.

Cedric, the founder and master stylist, doesn’t just cut hair. He sculpts it. Think of it as a Michelangelo moment but with shears.

Why NYC Can’t Get Enough of It

New York is a city of movement, ambition, and reinvention. A cut that’s both timeless and trendy? That’s a no-brainer. The French Bob is like the city itself—bold, sharp, a little rebellious, and always ahead of the curve.

Plus, it works whether you’re grabbing a latte in Williamsburg or strutting through Midtown in heels.

Face Shapes That Rock This Cut

The good news: this cut is more versatile than it looks.

• Oval and Heart-Shaped Faces: The bob balances features beautifully.

• Square Faces: Adds softness with the right texturing.

• Round Faces: With volume on top, it elongates like a dream.

At Cedric Salon, stylists customize the cut to enhance your face shape, not fight it.

Short Hair, Big Confidence

Ever noticed how people with bobs walk like they own the place? That’s not an accident. There’s something about shedding those extra inches that makes you stand taller. It’s a style move and a life decision.

Bold hair says, “I make choices—and I like them sharp.”

Styling Tips from Cedric’s Experts

Cedric Salon stylists recommend keeping it effortless:

• Air-dry with sea salt spray for texture.

• Use a round brush blowout for sleekness.

• Add hair serum or pomade to define micro-bangs.

Pro tip: Less is more. The cut does most of the work.

Celebrities Spotted with the Look

It’s not just an NYC thing—A-listers are loving it too:

• Zoë Kravitz has been rocking it with fierce energy.

• Florence Pugh wore it to the Met Gala.

• Jenna Ortega gave it her edgy twist.

Where the stars go, NYC follows. And Cedric Salon leads.

Social Media Fueling the Trend

TikTok and Instagram are obsessed. #FrenchBob and #CedricSalon are blowing up. Reels showing the transformation from “meh” to “marvelous” are going viral. And honestly? The ASMR of scissors snipping is a bonus.

If you haven’t posted your hair reveal yet, did it even happen?

What to Ask Your Stylist

Before you slide into a chair, know what you want:

• Ask for texture if you want movement.

• Request micro-bangs only if you’re ready for that level of boldness.

• Talk about how much volume you want at the crown.

Cedric Salon pros are great at helping you visualize the result—no more “this is not what I asked for” moments.

How to Maintain It Between Visits

The bob is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. To keep the magic alive:

• Trim every 4–6 weeks to keep the shape sharp.

• Refresh bangs more often if needed.

• Avoid heat styling daily—let it breathe.

Remember: hair health > hair hustle.

Products You’ll Want in Your Arsenal

Don’t leave the salon empty-handed. Here’s your survival kit:

• Volumizing mousse: for lift without stiffness.

• Texturizing spray: to keep it modern and lived-in.

• Satin pillowcase: reduces frizz and breakage.

Cedric Salon carries curated products they use. So you know it’s not just upsell fluff.

The History Behind the Look

The French Bob isn’t new—it just got a glow-up. Originating in the 1920s, it symbolized women’s independence and defiance of traditional beauty norms.

Fast-forward a century, and it’s still doing exactly that.

Is It Worth the Hype?

Absolutely. Especially when done right. It’s elegant, rebellious, and requires way less maintenance than long layers and highlights.

You get more face time (literally), more compliments, and a whole lot of “I love your hair!” from strangers on the subway.

Final Thoughts: Cut Above the Rest

Trends come and go, but this one’s got staying power. It’s modern, flattering, and just the right mix of bold and classy. Whether you’re chasing a new chapter or just a killer selfie, this cut delivers.
