Bobs & precision cuts · Downtown Plano

One line. Perfectly level. That’s the whole job.

I cut bobs, lobs and blunt fringes that grow out as cleanly as they walk out. Book, text or browse below.

Meet Mei

I measure twice and cut once.

My grandmother was a seamstress in Taichung and I grew up watching her chalk a line before every snip. When I started cutting hair in 2013, I realized a bob is just tailoring: weight, balance and a hem that sits exactly where it should.

Today I only book one client at a time in my suite off 15th Street. I cut dry to check the line, wet to build it, and check it again under daylight before you see the mirror. If your bob ever tips forward or flips out at the collar, come see me.

Sample client reviews

Kind words from the chair

My bob finally stays tucked behind my ear instead of flipping out at the collar. Seven weeks in and it still looks pressed.
Laura C.Signature Bob
Mei talked me into a chin-length bob I was scared of. I get stopped in the grocery store now.
Anjali R.Lob to bob
Quiet suite, no rush, and she checks the line three times. That’s all I ever wanted.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will a bob work with my thick hair?

Usually, yes. I remove weight from the inside so the line stays heavy but the shape doesn’t puff.

Do you cut wet or dry?

Both. I build the line wet and refine it dry, because that’s how you’ll actually wear it.

How often should I come back?

Every six to eight weeks for a sharp bob. The line refresh keeps you in between.

Can you cut curly hair into a bob?

I can, but I’ll cut it dry and be honest if a curl-specific cutter would serve you better.

Is the fringe trim really walk-in?

Text me first. If I’m between clients, come on up.

Do you do color?

Only glosses. For anything else I’ll send you to colorists I trust.
