David Beckham isn’t the only one making waves with his recent move to North America. His famous wife is creating quite a stir as well…or rather, her hair is.

With three or four requests per stylist per day, the Posh Spice bob, now affectionately dubbed the ‘Pob,’ is very quickly becoming the ‘it’ do of the season. And the beauty is that this haircut can be modified to suit any face shape or skin tone. If you put your precious locks in the hands of a trained professional like Ian Daburn and his team of stylists and technicians, you can be sure to leave with a big smile on your face (our model Laurell did!).

Contrary to what you might believe, you don’t need Victoria Beckham’s diamond-shaped face or olive complexion to pull off this look. For instance, if you have a particularly square or round face (these two are usually in the same category), Ian would add more layers in the front and create an elongated shape. By doing so, he can lengthen your face and enhance more of your facial features.

If you’re Asian, you know blonde is not a suitable match. What Ian would suggest is that you avoid going too bright because your hair won’t lift the same way. If you have darker skin, warmer tones would make ideal choices and again, you should avoid those big bright splashes of blonde that are more suitable for someone like Laurell.

For those of you that have had long hair all your life, cutting it off is understandably an alarming thought, but as you can see from the video, the Pob doesn’t have to be super short. Why not experiment a little? The transformation can be amazing when you try something new and exciting. And don’t worry. If Ian doesn’t think a particular look or colour suits you, he’ll be sure to tell you and help you make the right decisions. What sets a good stylist apart from a mediocre one is their experience and their ability to communicate with a client.

They also take care of the little details at i.daburn salons. While you’re in to get your celebrity makeover, you’ll also be treated like one. When you arrive, you’ll change into a robe that they provide for you so that you don’t get those annoying little hairs all over your clothes (I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a brilliant idea). While you wait for your colour to set, you can also sit back and enjoy a complimentary latte or cappuccino. Visit them at 1073 Cambie Street, Vancouver for an experience.
