The Signature Korean Cut: Airy Layered Styles

The most requested cut in 2025? “Air touch” layers. Softly textured and weightlessly feathered, these styles frame the face without heaviness. They’re especially popular in long and medium-length hair and are often finished with C-curl or S-curl styling to enhance movement.

2025’s Must-Try Hair Colors in Korea

While natural browns remain timeless, 2025 brings in muted pastel tones and ash finishes. Popular shades include: - Ash beige and mushroom brown - Cool pink-lavender blends - Deep charcoal blue for urban minimalists - Cherry mocha for warmer tones

Korean salons are known for their gentle coloring techniques — often using ammonia-free, low-damage formulas that maintain shine and softness.

The Return of the Natural Perm

Forget tight curls — 2025’s perms in Korea are all about effortless movement. “Volume perms” and “root lifts” create a subtle bounce, while body wave perms add soft curves to long layers. They work best with textured cuts and are often paired with mist-type styling sprays for a fresh, dewy finish.

Fringe Matters: Bangs Are Back

See-through bangs, curtain bangs, and airy full bangs are making a major comeback. In Korea, bangs are used to highlight facial proportions and soften the look — especially for those with wide foreheads or high cheekbones.

Most stylists now cut bangs with texture and wispy edges to avoid heaviness, often tailoring the design based on face shape and eye position.
