Soft ends, natural movement and a shape designed for your face.
A soft bob is a bob with soft, light ends and natural movement, and it is one of the most loved haircuts right now. At Ikonomakis Hair Atelier in Chalandri, Athens, a women's cut & blow-dry starts from €45. We design your bob around your face shape, your hair texture and your daily routine.
What is a soft bob and how much does it cost in Chalandri, Athens? A soft bob is a bob with soft, broken-up ends and light movement that falls naturally around the face instead of a strict, geometric line. At Ikonomakis Hair Atelier in Chalandri, Athens, a women's cut & blow-dry starts from €45 (Hair Stylist), €65 (Hair Expert) and €90 (Master Stylist). Every cut begins with a consultation about your face, your hair texture and how you look after your hair day to day, and our team speaks English.
Haircut trends are moving towards softer, more personalised shapes: the soft bob, the pixie-bob, face-framing layers, gentler shags and wolf cuts, side partings and air-dry texture that doesn't need a daily blow-dry. The soft bob sums up this trend. It is elegant without being severe, looks polished even when air-dried and adapts easily to every hair texture.
The difference from a classic bob lies in the ends and the weight. A classic bob has a clean, single line; a soft bob has lighter ends, internal movement and a length that usually sits between the jaw and just above the shoulders.

There isn't one right bob; it's the one that balances your facial proportions. As a guide:
These are general guidelines; in practice your neck, height, glasses and personal style also matter. For a more tailored approach, see our personalised haircut (in Greek) or our guide to the haircut based on face shape. If you'd like your proportions analysed with technology, Face Metrics Pro is an AI facial analysis with Thodoris, at €100.
The soft bob is one of the best options for fine hair. Cutting the length makes the ends look fuller and gives the hair visible volume. The secret is not to "empty out" the ends too much: on fine hair we keep more weight at the base and work the movement more subtly. Find out more in haircuts for fine hair (in Greek).
On curly hair the bob is designed around the curl and not with the hair stretched out, because curls "spring up" as they dry. The aim is a shape that shows off your natural curls without a triangular silhouette at the ends, which fits perfectly with the trend for natural curls and air-dry texture.

The pixie-bob sits between a pixie and a bob: shorter at the back and sides, with a little more length at the front and around the ears. It is the elegant solution in two cases:
With regular, small maintenance cuts, every stage of the transition has a shape of its own.
| Level | Women's cut & blow-dry from | |---|---| | Hair Stylist | €45 | | Hair Expert | €65 | | Master Stylist | €90 |
Which level to choose depends on how complex the change you want is. For a first big change in length or a highly personalised shape, many clients prefer a Hair Expert or Master Stylist. See also our women's haircut in Athens.
A soft bob holds its shape beautifully, but because the length is short, every centimetre shows. A maintenance cut is usually recommended every 6–8 weeks, while a pixie-bob usually needs more frequent care. For styling, a light texturising product and air-drying, or a relaxed blow-dry with a large round brush, is often enough. If you want extra shine, a hair gloss is a beautiful finish for your new shape.
