- Getting the most hated haircut to see if I can make it stylish...The aline graduated bob.
Also known in its slang terms; The Karen Cut.
I belive that haircuts can often get stigmas and bad reps and I wanted to see if with the right styling and tweaking, we can give this haircut the respect it deserves.

It’s not the haircut, it’s the people with the cut. You are a beautiful person on the inside, so it’s beautiful on you!
She's beautiful inside and out ❤️
Honestly I like this style but when ever I see someone with it I immediately assume they’re a bad person
💯%
Shallow to judge people by their haircut.
also shes young and not trashy
I hate that this haircut - which is a classic A-line Bob first popularized by the Flappers in the Jazz Age - has somehow become synonymous with the hated "Karen." Very unfortunate.
How is this a 'classic A-line bob'? Google it.
But who cares right!! If you love it then rock it! No matter what other people says!
It has been my favourite haircut since 2008, it's ridiculous that people just decided to hate it.
Exactly! the whole “Karen” thing came from Kate Gosselin when she had that ugly reverse mullet which wasn’t even an A line bob. So we should actually be saying “she’s such a Kate” not “Karen”😅.
The Karen’s are the people judging other people as Karen’s by their freaking haircut.
Neville did such a great job - the cut looks very precise and stylish!
I remember a time around 2008 when 'the Karen Cut' was called "the Victoria Beckham bob" and I had one too! You have such beautiful features that I'm not at all surprised by how cute it looks on you!
This is one of my absolute favorite haircuts, in Spain we call it "V cut". I've had it many times, way more exaggerated than yours, with chin-long front pieces and a really short back part (in the 90s many girls used to even shave the back of their head with this cut). I just love it, it really suits me, and no Karen is going to ruin it.
I was a stylist back then. I gave many young, and middle-aged, women this cut. And, yes, even some with a quite exaggerated angle - some shaved and some with about a cm of hair in back.
I had a classmate with it in the 90's, and it looked amazing on her, my guess is her mother was a stylist, the hair cut requires maintenance to continue to look good. I didn't really like her and I didn't want to copy her. I also thought it would look better if I was thinner since I carried weight in my face. I think now that I lost weight it would be cute on me, but my sister got it a few times and it didn't look bad on her, but seeing it grow out I know I don't want the upkeep that the hair style requires.
**As a cosmetologist opinion**
The A-line bob when layed sleek and extra smooth= super chic fabulous and
The more you begin to tease and add texture is when is begins it’s metamorphosis into a Karen hairstyle *hence on style*
Legend has it, the higher you tease and add volume and the more texture added /shorter and spiker it becomes, the higher level of Karen difficulty level you are dealing with 😮💨
Fellow cosmetologist here! A good haircut/stylist and styling makes all the difference! There's a reason why this cut got so popular- the notorious Karen's style just isn't the same as a chic ALine
Unpopular opinion: the Karen cut is just the French bob of its time. Of course it’s dated now, but that’s just what haircuts do. I’m enjoying a shaggy just above the shoulder cut right now and I love it but I know I won’t love it in 5 years 😂
No this is so 100% spot on
i hate the shaggy look even though it looks really good on me. i can't do ponytails and cute looks.
it's best for people that like curling their hair in the morning, which i don't have time to do.
@@Mykasan I finally gave into it because I never put my hair up and it works with my natural waves. I’m sure I’ll tire of it soon but it’s fun for now. I think hair is fun to change which is probably why I like this channel.
I definitely had this cut in 2005, and at the time, I got tons of compliments on it. Popular styles come and go. It’s only cringe-inducing to us now because it’s 20 years past it’s hey-day, this time round. It’s also down to the person, as Stella shows in this video; if you’re styling is well thought out, pulled together and you look happy, almost any style can look timeless.
My aunt has had the same haircut for 40 years. 🙄 it's gone out of style and back in style multiple times😂
I love it. I think it's more 90s on trend than dated Karen. Depending on your clothes and make up, it could be very Linda Evangalista, Teri Hatcher in Superman or britpop girl. Louise from Sleeper. Justine from Elastica. Loads of the 90s indie girls had this haircut (including me! )
Exactly!
Not just indie. I always think of TBOZ the lead singer of 90s group TLC when I see this cut.
Exactly!!! To me it's really giving me princess Diana haircut in her last summer
As a hairstylist this is just a run of the mill standard diagonal forward bob with stacked layers and a bit of fringe. My understanding of “the Karen” (that’s my moms name, sweetest lady ever, hate the term karen) otherwise known as “speak to the manager” is like super short in the back and really long front …aka Kate Gossling 2005 ish. They are different haircuts. The bob is less severe more connected, softer. The karen is disconnected, lacks cohesiveness and flow, and is left quite heavy in the front.
I agree. The "Karen" has chin length or longer bangs in the front and is tapered very high at the back, with lots of volume in the crown.
This is beautiful on her, but definitely not a "Karen " cut imo.
I was about to comment this lmao. This cut is super cute but definitely not the Karen lmao. Your explanation was perfect
My last boss's name was Karen. What a sweet heart! She is an amazing professional and a loving proud mom. It's the only Karen I've met and I still don't like when a name gets labelled like that.
It’s gorgeous and classy. Has lovey shine
, body and movement
This is basically my go-to haircut since hair school in-between pixies and longer styles... it's simple, playful, and had never looked like anything other than a bob with layers.
Can we talk about how AMAIZING that color turned out and how good It suits her??
When I saw the title I was like “I hate it already” but the way Nev styled it out made you look like a 90s it girl 👌🏼 so cool!
Love it and I'll love it even more if you keep it style that way... looks elegant, classic and chic
I had this haircut, I got so many compliments. I don’t think this is a Karen haircut cause the photo you showed is definitely different to the cut u ended up with.
I agree with you on all points. My sis had this cut back in the day and if done right its beautiful. She had it colored a bright cherry cola and it rocked. Granted you need to have it cut by someone that knows what they are doing. Not every stylist can cut it right.
If I’m not mistaken we’ve seen Neville on your channel before, a LONG time ago. His reaction to you wanting the cut was hilarious. 😂
I wore the bob cut thanks to Victoria Beckham, it's probably one of the cuts that I liked the most on myself before I found out I have wavy hair and that layers it's what really suits me
For me the Karen haircut is the back being stuck out straight with gel or hair spray and it sticking straight out the back. It coming down into a taper isn't it. And that look was just popular during that time so tons of women had it and it sadly ended up becoming a stereotype.
Yes exactly, the haircut Kate Gosselin had when she first was on John and Kate plus 8”.
I think she was the original Karen.
Yes, the Karen haircut has the taper.
My husband calls it “the Sonic the Hedgehog” cut. It’s still quite popular where I live in a certain age bracket.
I’ve had graduated bobs for year and years, starting in the 90s. My hair is long now, mostly due to laziness, but I love me a graduated bob. I never did ruffle it up in back though. That’s not a Bob. That’s a Sonic lol
That's the perfect name for the hairstyle I'm thinking of. lol @@stephgreen3070
Yea this cut just wasn't all the way there. But I get it. You can't do much if you were to yake the back that short.
This was close but imma go w/click bait ftw
I feel like the tapering needed to start closer to the crown and the front should be longer to make it a true "speak to your manager" cut. This is just an adorable layered bob.
The "Karen" is longer in the front. But it isn't the haircut that people hate, it's the people that have it (and exaggerated versions of it). I've always liked that haircut.
I love this haircut! It’s my go to, except I have dark brunette hair with no highlights. I also don’t style it like the so-called Karen styling. I actually think the graduated bob is a really flattering cut!
There is nothing wrong with this haircut I’m sure you wear it well
He styled it the way you asked right? Considering he wasn't exactly thrilled with the assignment I'm curious how he would choose to style and modernize the Karen cut. He did a great job executing what you asked and you totally showed people a new way to rock their haircut! Please do more of these where you show a completely different side of unpopular haircuts. You might popularize one!
As someone that has formal hair cutting training. That’s is not a typical “Karen” cut. It’s so cute! Having said that you are a stunningly beautiful woman, you could wear just about anything.
Oh my, I really LOVE this cut on you!! Neville did such a great job, and your styling is fabulous! 👌❤
I thought the hated cut is even shorter and spikier in the back and longer in the front. This looks very grown and beautiful on you.
It is, this is just a nice bob
I was not expecting to love this hair cut so much
I will say I think the actual Karen cut is more disconnected with a long fringe and nearly shaved in the back where it’s super short at the top and spikey
I honestly hate how much Karens have become a meme/thing of ridicule/hatred on the internet.
I particularly hate how gendered it feels, and it's weird to me how in a time when people on the internet are supposed to be so fine-tuned to all the different -isms, people don't seem to pick up on how ridiculing a type of woman for being assertive (or over-assertive?) is pretty sexist.
Thank you for trying out this haircut
Thank you for this comment. Exactly my thoughts, it seams not fair that when a woman is bold and outspoken it tends to be mocked, even worst if she is mature. Before they were called witches, now awe changed to Karen's. Sad.
I'm half Maltese (born and raised in the UK) sometimes I love watching your videos because listening to your accent reminds me of relatives I don't see very often/have passed away 💖🇲🇹💖
I actually adore the way you styled it you made it so cute, and the color faded very well it is giving natural blonde but there is a weird brown band in between that i think can be fixed with a highlift ash shade if you mind it
The versions or variations of this cut that I think tend to get the most “hate” is when 1) the front sections are a LOT longer than the sides/back (so it’s not a streamlined “graduated” line); 2) any coloring / highlights are very chunky and / or high contrast (so not blended); and 3) the top portion (and / or bangs) is not sleek or smooth, but rather “spiky” instead. Removing any of those (more extreme) factors, or a combination thereof, seem to be the key to taking it from “hated” (or tacky) to sleek and stylish. Of course, this is just my opinion based on what I’ve observed. As always, people should choose the style they like best. As usual, Stella, you rocked this! 🥰
I've always had the #1 version and I love it on me
@@_san_flower_ That’s great! I’m sure you look fantastic with that cut! ❤️
@@NikitaUnique thanks! It's fair to say we don't have the "Karen concept" so present in Spain as in other countries, so it's not a hated style 😉
@@_san_flower_ Personally, I don’t hate the style myself. I’ve just seen how other people have reacted to it, and noticed that certain variations seemed to elicit a more “emotional” response than others. And the thing is, since we all have different face shapes and features, one style could look terrible on me, but look fabulous on someone else. So it’s not the style itself that’s really the issue. And as Stella mentioned, styling can make a world of difference as well. ☺️
Why are we surprised when Stella manages to pull miracles?!?!?❤❤❤
Idc about the stigma behind the haircut, it’s been one of my favorite haircuts forever. I think it is so complimentary to a woman’s facial structure. I wish I live in Malta I’d go get my hair cut by your friend. 🫶
"even a garbage bag looks good on you" 😂😂 Neville speaking facts💯
HE DID NOT CUT THE BACK AS SHORT AS THE PIC YOU SHOWED
I refuse to call it a "Karen" haircut. It has been a great bob haircut for years. Love it! Especially love making the front sides chin length or longer to create a more dramatic cut/effect between the back and front. A reverse mullet if you will 😂.
Hate the person, not the haircut.
Look at all that hair! It’s growing in so beautiful and healthy ❤
I had this haircut after growing out a buzzcut. I got so mutch shit for it even when I styled it nice like you did ( I’m a 21 year old hairdresser, I got told that a normal slightly jounded bob was ”caren hair” 😂 ppl don’t know their stuf
Just ignore them you gotta do what works for and feels right to you, I get them telling me I should cut and do mine blond that just makes me not want to even more 🤣
What an amazing cut!! Really vintage vibes. I'm inspired
I love this classic style it’s a shame its been associated in a horrible way, I will always love a classic bob cut, Stella rocks the cut
This is one of my favourite cuts that I always go back to lol
I love this haircut on you! I have had this style but with a buzzed undercut and it was my favorite style and everyone loved it! I think breaking the stigma is part of it and who wears it also changes the translation of it ❤❤❤
So funny I just did this same cut (before the clip ins lmao)on Saturday to blend out all my layers and I love it lol. Looks amazing cute and sophisticated on you!
Love it with the middle part!!
stop!
The brown hair color looks so good on you ❤
I think it looks beautiful and elegant on you! Love the natural colour on you too!
I love the cut especially when you put in the extensions. I would love that haircut and have it go to the lowest point of my chin in the front. The haircut is also known as the Dorothy Hamill.
Sorry, I feel like your hairstylist deserves some love as well. Aside from being insanely talented, that green shirt looks sooo good on him ;) 💚
His whole vibe and aesthetic is a vibe 🤩🤩 love this whole video
There's nothing wrong with the haircut, it's a good haircut, it's just gotten a bad rep, because of "karen's" but it look's really good on you, and I feel like it's about damn time someone nice and kind wears it. 👍🤩
His technique is flawless! A hair master ❤
I feel like a lot of hate also comes from people who decide to go short for the first time with a specific style in mind only to walk out with “the Karen” hairstyle as it seems the only style a lot of local hairdressers know how to do when it comes to short hair.
That's true, I never thought of it this way. Great observation. I think it also gives layers a bad rep for the people who ask for layers and get this done to them.
I had this cut for years but a bit longer and I loved it! My niece used to cut it for me and it was perfect. However when I went to a hairdresser salon (as I moved) it wasn’t cut the same and it never fell in the right way.
I also had a fringe with mine.
I love this hairstyle, especially on ladies in their 20's/30's.
I love it! I think the haircut looks great on you ❤❤
It looks so 60s on you! Love it
I have this haircut and get a lot of compliments
A very blunt bob would be gorgeous ✨
Fringe softens the cut up, currently trying to grow my pixie into it❤
I’ve worn a bob with bangs since I was 14. I have changed a few times but always come back to it. I think it looks polished and sophisticated especially since I’m now silver.
Wow that hairdresser is so talented. It looks amazing!
I feel like you'd look good with like an undercut and above the ears , pixie/ bowlcut style, you always pull off the most unique colors and styles.
Personally, I don't hate it, but I think it's a kind of haircut that can easily make you look older, and can seem a bit boring. But Stella, as always, looks amazing with it. I need your magic and your confidence!
You look sooo pretty with everything! Even this. I had this haircut and hated it, it was so hard to make it work and also I looked a hundred years older. It's so fun to watch experiment with hair!
I’ve worn my hair in a Bob for decades. I have very thin, fine “white” hair so there are very few cuts that I can make look fuller than it is. The new straight Bob makes me look like the Dutch Boy Paint logo which I don’t think is flattering on me!
The haircut you started with was soooo cute!! But you can pull off most things so I’ll be excited to see what you do
OMG! She makes the Karen Cut Beautiful??? Stella you are beautiful inside and Out. That's how you make every hair style beautiful❤
That guy is an artist
Now the Hair Colour Match perfectly to your natural 😊
I love it. Normally I wear a similar style, more wispy and a dark auburn color. Sadly last week I went to a stylist I didn't vet well enough and now have a pixie. Sigh. Keeps me humble I suppose.
Yeeeesssss I live vicariously through you and your short haircuts !
@Stella Cini "we can make it work with your face" - EXACTLY what I thought! If anyone can make it work... It's you!
It's absolutely beautiful on you 😍 honestly, you really are the prettiest woman I've ever seen in my life.
This is a cute cut on you - in all variations. As a glasses wearer, I can say with conviction and personal experience that having bangs in my eyes drives me crazy.
Can’t wait for the 20 year olds to get this haircut and then be confused when people think they’re 40😂
So true. Like Stella always has a very youthful look with the short hair and fun colors but this definitely gave her a different vibe.
without the extensions the hair cut looooks boooomb 🎉🎉
I watched this half asleep last night without seeing the title and I thought, oh my gosh that’s super pretty and I love the volume on her.
Imo this is the Cameron Diaz cut( before you added the front extensions) in “There’s Something About Mary” and everyone wanted Mary❤.
Now that I see it’s the “most hated haircut” thats just really sad. Its cute if anything, calling women of a certain age a “Karen” is a type of misogyny really.
Just say “ entitled bitch” if you mean it not Karen, Jennifer, Kyle to describe sone person who’s behavior you don’t like.
I always loved cutting an a-line bob for clients. I think it's still cute.
This is not what I picture when I think of the "Can I speak to your manager?" cut. I expected more of a severe graduation from back to front.
And the spikes sticking out back 😂
@@Solitude11-11 exactly!
Your hair is back ❤
I think that hair cut is beautiful and you look beautifully with it.
my mom in her younger years always had that hair cute and she always looked beautiful and sophisticated.
Literally my favourite haircut on you ever obsessed!
The cut is absolutely stunning!
Only Stella can make a Karen haircut look this good 💁🏻♀️
This haircut looks better than what she had in the beginning of the video
She looks like Linda Evangelista! 90s throwback in the best way.
Love this colour, love this hair cut! Looks so healthy and complimentary ❤
Love his technique! Love the cut on you. Now, can we de-stigmatize the name? I understand that the original person who went off the rails was named Karen, but c'mon.
This is how I usually cut my hair, right now I have a pixie. I love your hair it looks so good.
One of my favorite cuts on you so gorgeous!!❤❤
Okay you really killed it!! Wow!
More nice people need to get this haircut. It’s gorgeous.
I had this exact phase while growing my hair out from a pixie cut...such a horrible period of my life...love it on you, but it's really high maintenance🙈
It's gorgeous on you, but your current color is so warm & beautiful. Prob one of your best ( in my op)
When I had short hair that was one of my favourite cute. I think it’s very flattering
What a beautiful hair cut!!! I loved it!!!!
I absolutely love this!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
idk if i would say that it looks like the karen cut at all since the back of it is more choppy(?) then yours. it reminds me more of the mom from parent trap.
Im at the beginning - it depends if you gemo for those very harsh angles and inflexible hold that goes with the Karen Classic
I love it. I may get mine cut like this. Its versatile and cute
I absolutely love it on you it’s a GrandBob round a line
