Calligraphy Cut in Oakland, CA
At BIBO Salon, we believe your haircut should be more than a change in length — it should transform how your hair feels, moves, and shines. That’s why we proudly specialize in the Calligraphy Cut, an innovative cutting technique from Europe that is revolutionizing salons worldwide.
Using a patented calligraphy pen blade, our stylists cut each strand of hair at a precise angle to maximize volume, flexibility, and light reflection. The result? Hair that feels fuller, softer, and healthier than ever before. If you’ve been searching for a haircut that delivers both beauty and long-term benefits, the Calligraphy Cut is the perfect choice.
What Is the Calligraphy Cut?
Unlike scissors, which close at a straight angle and can cause blunt ends, the calligraphy pen cuts the hair at a 21-degree angle. This unique technique:
Reduces split ends and breakage
Creates more movement and bounce
Enhances shine by allowing light to reflect off smoother ends
Increases volume, especially for fine or thinning hair
It’s the kind of cut that not only looks amazing in the salon chair but also grows out beautifully, maintaining its shape and health between appointments.
Who Is the Calligraphy Cut For?
The Calligraphy Cut is versatile and beneficial for almost all hair types, but it’s especially loved by:
Clients with fine or thin hair who want volume and fullness
Clients with medium to long hair seeking movement and shine
Anyone looking to reduce split ends and keep hair healthier longer
Style-conscious clients who want a cut that stands out as truly unique
