Kourtney Kardashian’ssuper-short bobwas a long time coming.
TheKeeping Up with the Kardashiansalum’s hairstylistPeter Savic, who started working with the star a decade ago, says Kardashian had been contemplating doing a dramatic chop for quite some time.
“Kourtney always had [it in] the back of her mind [to] one day to cut her hair short,” Savic tells PEOPLE. “It’s a soft, simple and feminine haircut. I cut about eight to ten inches off.”
Although Savic says he has never cut the Poosh founder’s hair so short before, Kardashian, 42, referenced a hairstyle she wore as a teenager when they discussed the look. “Kourtney showed me pictures. She was young when she had hair shorter than this, but I don’t think she had that short hair for a long time,” he says.

The hair expert created the blunt bob in a way that Kardashian could easily wear her hair with minimal styling. “It’s very easy. That’s what I love. She air dries, but if she goes out then she blow dries her hair or straightens it. In the pictures she’s posted with the haircut, I like that she’s trying to see everything she can do with it,” Savic says.
And Kardashian’s reaction when she saw the final result? “[She] loved it. Loved it,” he says.
Over the weekend, Kardashianshowed off her haircuton Instagram (this time tagging Savic)before jetting off to Cabo San Lucas, MexicowithBarkeron a romantic getaway.
The couple traveled to Mexico on Kardashian’s younger sisterKylie Jenner’s private jet, marking the first time Barker flew on a plane sincehe survived a deadly plane crash in 2008that killed four and left him with third-degree burns on more than half of his body.
A source previously told PEOPLE that it was a big step for Barker to fly. “It’s a huge deal that Travis flew to Cabo,” the insider said. “The plane crash many years ago was extremely traumatizing. He has needed a lot of help to get to this point.”
“Kourtney has been very supportive,” the source added. “She never pushed for him to fly. They have managed to travel in the U.S. without having to fly, and Kourtney has been totally fine with it.”
PEOPLEfirst reportedthe relationship between Kardashian and Barker in January before the couple made their romance Instagram official in February.
