What is a Korean bob?

Korean bobs are cut with soft, slightly rounded ends and subtle internal layering so they swing naturally instead of looking blunt. Variations include the tassel cut, the C-curl bob and the shoulder-length lob.

How a bob cut appointment works

  1. Consultation in English

    We look at reference photos, your face shape and how you style your hair day to day.
  2. Hair & scalp check

    We check density, growth direction and cowlicks so the cut sits naturally.
  3. Relaxing wash

    A botanical shampoo and short scalp massage before cutting.
  4. Precision cut

    Korean cutting and texturising to build shape and movement.
  5. Blow-dry & finish

    A polished blow-dry so you see exactly how the cut falls.
  6. Home styling tips

    We show you how to recreate the shape with your own tools.

Keep your cut looking fresh

  • Book a trim every 6–8 weeks for short styles, 8–12 weeks for longer hair.
  • Blow-dry the roots first, then shape the ends with a round brush or fingers.
  • Use a light heat protectant before irons or curling tools.
  • Send a photo to the salon on WhatsApp if you want to adjust the shape on your next visit.

Bob cut FAQ

Which bob suits a round face?

A slightly longer bob or lob with face-framing pieces usually flatters round faces. Your stylist will recommend the best length.

Should I add a C-curl perm to my bob?

A C-curl perm keeps the ends curving inward without styling — great if you don't like using a straightener.

What is in the Premium Bob Cut & Scalp Detox Package?

A bob cut plus scalp cleansing and detox care, from 120,000 KRW and about 75–90 minutes.
