In this Lily Collins hair tutorial, Russell does a fresh and modern take on Lily Collins’ timeless one length bob. You’ll learn how to cut a razor bob that creates softness while maintaining a strong blunt shape by using the Limited Edition Wood-Look Feather Styling Razor, a tool built for professionals and for those becoming one.
While we’re more used to seeing the Emily in Paris hairstyle consisting of long brown hair with waves and bangs, this Lily Collins short hair style brings out a more mature and sophisticated version of her.
This Emily in Paris short hair look is all about precision in your technique while using a soft texture tool like a razor. The use of a razor on this haircut is the kind of technique that doesn’t shout—but speaks volumes when it comes to this modern interpretation of the classic bob.
The approach in this tutorial is to demonstrate clean sectioning, create soft, deliberate lines with the razor, balance structure with lightness and use finishing details that make a difference. Whether you’re an experienced stylist or just starting your journey, this video invites you to slow down, focus and cut with purpose.
