What is a Korean layered cut?

Korean layered cuts — including the popular hush cut and hime-style face framing — use soft, blended layers so hair looks light and airy rather than choppy. They work especially well on thick or long Asian hair that tends to look heavy.

How a layered 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.

Layered cut FAQ

What is a hush cut?

A Korean layered style with soft, wispy layers around the face and lighter ends, giving a relaxed, effortless look.

Are layers good for thin hair?

Yes, if kept long and soft. Your stylist adjusts layer placement so thin hair doesn't lose fullness.

Can I combine a layered cut with a perm?

Yes — layers plus a soft digital or S-curl perm is one of the most popular Korean looks.
