The best-known short haircut style in the 1920s was the bob. It made its first foray into public consciousness in 1915 when the fashion-forward ballroom dancer Irene Castle cut her hair short as a matter of convenience, into what was then referred to as the Castle bob. Part and parcel with the rebellious flapper mentality, the decision to cut it all off was a liberating reaction to that stodgier time, a cosmetic shift toward androgyny that helped define an era. Early on, when... women wanted to emulate that look, they couldn’t just walk into a beauty salon and ask the hairdresser to cut off their hair into that blunt, just-below-the-ears style. Many hairdressers flat out refused to perform the shocking and highly controversial request And some didn’t know how to do it since they’d only ever used their shears on long hair. Instead of being deterred, the flapper waved off those rejections and headed to the barbershop for the do. The barbers complied. Around 1918 and in the early '20s, there were two things that caused millions of women worldwide to adopt a very short hairstyle called the "bob" and cause panic to their conservative friends. The first was that during World War II many women had to work in factories and the medical area. This made long hair difficult to maintain and as far as the medical jobs go, it was also considered to be unhygienic. However many historians track the start of the trend to a well-known American dancer named Irene Castle, pictured above.

Before and after! We chose to darken things a little and it was the perfect choice.

Customer testimonials are the best and the magic that Zoë added to this special day is beautiful...and that’s the best too!!! Zoe did my hair for my wedding on July 4, and I just wanted to say that I was so happy with her work. She was really lovely to me, and it was a bit of an emotional morning, so I just wanted to thank her again for her kindness and great work. I couldn't have asked for a nicer wedding hair experience.... ~Jenny Tasha Cline . . . #TheOldHatHairShoppe, #TheOldHat, #YYJHair, #YYJHairstylist, #YYJBarber, #VictoriaBCHair, #newhair, #confidence, #HappyToBeMe, #LOMAHairCare, #Olaplex, #beautysafebc, #weloveourcustomers #smartsafehairlove #weddinghair #magicday
