THE MODERN BOB BLEND WITH SIDE MINIS
SHORT HAIR. CLEAN INSTALL. SEAMLESS BLEND.
Cutting and extensions specialist, Sarah Goode, takes you behind the chair in Laguna Beach, California, for The Modern Bob Blend with Side Minis - an exclusive look-and-learn on a real client, with 6-month-old textured Yovanka Loria Extensions. Watch as Sarah transforms a mini installation into a blunt, modern bob, showing how to use YL wefts as side minis ("dog ears") for fullness, clean shape, and a seamless blend.
Sarah and Yovanka Loria brought together their expertise in blend cutting and extensions, giving stylists the confidence to work with shorter lengths, fine hair, and real client grow-outs - where precision cutting meets strategic mini placement for short hair that blends, moves, and looks like natural hair.
