Asian Hair Salon in Sydney CBD

Hairdressers Who Understand Asian Hair

Asian hair varies far more than it is given credit for. One guest's hair is fine but very dense; the next has a thick strand diameter that holds a blunt line like a ruler; another has a wave that only appears once it dries. What it often shares is strength — hair that resists curl, holds its own direction, and carries a deep natural pigment that shows every stage of lightening.

That changes the craft. Weight usually has to come out from the inside rather than the ends, so a cut moves instead of sitting like a helmet. Perms need larger rods, adjusted solution strength and different timing to land a soft C-curl rather than a tight, artificial one. Colour needs deliberate toning to keep warmth in check.

Kim Sun Young is a Korean salon group, and Korean and Asian hair is what our Sydney CBD stylists work with every day. Our Korean-trained team plans each service around the hair in front of them — and will tell you when a result is better staged across more than one visit.

Asian Hair Salon Sydney FAQs

Kim Sun Young is a Korean hair and beauty group that specialises in Asian and Korean hair, with three Sydney CBD salons — World Square, Haymarket on George Street and Liverpool Street — plus Strathfield. Our stylists are Korean-trained and cut, colour and perm Asian hair every day, so technique is chosen for that hair type rather than adapted from fine hair.
All three of our CBD salons cut Korean styles — soft layers, curtain fringes, butterfly cuts and shoulder-length shapes with internal weight removal. World Square and Haymarket are a short walk from Town Hall station, and Liverpool Street sits between Town Hall and Museum. Bring a reference photo and your stylist will talk through how it will sit on your hair.
Book a men's cut at any Kim Sun Young salon. Our stylists work with textured Korean men's shapes — soft fringe, forward-falling top and clean outlines — rather than a standard barber fade. Men's perms and down perms are available at the same visit. See our dedicated Korean men's haircut page for detail and booking.
Digital perms, C-curls, body waves and volume perms are available across our Sydney salons. Strong, straight Asian hair needs different rod sizes, solution strength and timing to hold a soft curl, which is what Korean perming technique is built around. Every perm starts with a consultation on your hair's condition and chemical history.
Yes. Kim Sun Young is a Korean salon group and Asian hair is the hair we work with most. That covers cutting dense, coarse or very straight hair, perming hair that resists curl, and lightening dark hair while controlling the warm tones that appear. Many of our stylists speak both Korean and English.
World Square is the closest, a few minutes' walk south of Town Hall station via George Street. Liverpool Street is a similar distance heading east, and Haymarket is a little further down George Street towards Central. All three offer cuts, colour, perms and treatments.
Yes — a down perm flattens hair at the sides and around the ears so the outline of a cut stays clean instead of sticking out. It is one of our most requested men's services and is often booked alongside a men's cut or a light texture perm.
