Get The Look: The Italian Bob
If you’re a fan of HBO’s The White Lotus, you’ve probably been dreaming of visiting Sicily with freshly chopped Italian bob à la Simona Tabasco to match. The look became a major hit as soon as season two launched and has continued to make waves this season. The cut is a one-length bob with heavy ends that sit on the chin or slightly below. The fringe is optional and can range from eyebrow grazing to one length. When it comes to styling — flip or no flip, that is the question. Whether you want this look for yourself or need to know all the details for your clients, Teresa Romero, Creative Director for Sam Villa and Artistic/Education Director for Jose Luis Salon @_teresa_romero is breaking this summer ’23 trend down for you.

Cultivating Gender-Free Curls
Regardless of gender, enhancing curls can be a challenge, it takes know-how and time to achieve polished defined texture. “Hair is hair…made up of proteins, amino acids, biotin, niacin, vitamin C, etc. To best nourish curls, look at the hair strand and not your guest’s gender. Everyone's natural curls/coils have one thing in common, they tend to be dryer and require more moisture-based products for health, and cream or gloss products for definition and shine,” says Teresa Romero, Creative Director for Sam Villa and Artistic/Education Director for Jose Luis Salon @_teresa_romero.
