30 Stacked Bob Haircuts

Short haircuts can be professional, edgy, or anything in between. Stacked bob haircuts in particular, with a series of shorter layers in the back and longer pieces around the face, have become one of the most sophisticated and popular short hairstyles among women. This is one haircut you definitely don’t want to attempt at home, as it takes an expert’s eye and skills with shears to get the layered look just right. When it’s done properly, a stacked bob eliminates heaviness from nape of the neck, creating instant volume at the crown of the head, especially for thick haired women. Stacked bobs are perfect for dimensional or peekaboo color, which can add even more depth to the layered look. If you’re looking for a sophisticated look that’s on the shorter side, you’ll love our 30 favorite stacked bob haircuts for women:

With layers in the back and longer pieces in the front, this is a classic example of the stacked bob. For busy women, especially those with straight hair, this stacked bob is the perfect style for mixing ease with sophistication.

If you’re looking to enhance your classic stacked bob haircut, try adding highlights throughout the top layer of hair. When properly placed by an expert colorist, the finished product will be a bob that looks impossibly thick.

This burgundy bob features a more dramatic difference between lengths in the front and back, and a choppier technique is used throughout. With more distinct layers that don’t seamlessly blend into each other, this stacked bob looks best on women looking for an edgier style.

With lots of piecey layers, this stacked copper bob looks light as a feather, and is a perfect choice for women with straight hair that’s resistant to heat styling.

In the shortest stacked bobs, hair is layered so high in the back that it’s very closely cropped at the nape of the neck, and sometimes even undercut with clippers. Losing this much bulk can be tough for fine haired women, but it makes for a lighter and more manageable style if you were born with thicker hair.

The stacked layers in this cut are excellent for showing off dimensional color like this bob with pieces of red, copper and blonde. If you’re going from long hair to a bob, be prepared to touch up color more frequently, as grown out roots tend to look sloppy on shorter styles.

Textured ends make the stacked layers in this cut look feather light, offering a perfect contrast to the straight blunt bangs. Because each element of this haircut looks purposeful and deliberate, you’ll never look like your style was an afterthought.

Almost looking like two different haircuts, Victoria Beckham’s iconic bob is cut with stacked layers in the back, while the front features longer pieces of a fairly uniform length. The final product has tons of structure, but still softly frames the face, leaving no surprise that this was one of the most copied celebrity haircuts ever.

With wispy layers all around that are more concentrated in the back, this stacked bob looks softer and more casual than some of its sleek counterparts.

The choppy cut of the layers in the back of this bob contrast nicely with the feathery texture of the longer pieces in front. Use of color is another interesting element seen here, with a deep copper shade applied to the longest pieces and through some layers in the back.

To accommodate such a steep angle in a bob that’s shorter than chin length, the back of this style has been strategically undercut. We love this stacked bob for thick haired women who are looking to shed some heaviness in their hair.

The stacked bob is a popular choice among professional women, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be mixed with trendy rainbow hues. This particular style features a vibrant mixture of pinks, violets, and greens, and the layered colors add extra depth to the style.

Bob in the front and pixie in the back, this hybrid style is ideal for busy, professional women who are serious about their hairstyle but short on time to get ready in the morning.

Looking like a classic stacked bob from one side and an edgy undercut on the other, this haircut makes a bold style statement. If you’re dying to try this style but concerned about growing out an undercut later on, make your side shave low enough that it can be hidden by adjusting your part and covering it with longer pieces of hair.
