2026 Korean Hair Trends: Butterfly Cut, Mullet Perm, French Blending

2026-07-255 min read

Korean hair trends continue to shape how Sydney styles cuts, colour, and perms. Here are three standout looks for 2026 that we're booking at Kim Sun Young.

Butterfly cut

The butterfly cut is a layered style with shorter face-framing pieces and longer layers through the back. It creates movement, volume, and a soft, feminine shape that suits most hair types.

Mullet perm

The mullet perm combines a modern mullet shape with soft, textured curls. It's bold, fashion-forward, and one of the most requested styles for clients who want an editorial look.

French blending colour

French blending colour is a subtle, low-maintenance approach to highlights. It blends natural base colour with soft, sun-kissed tones for a seamless, grown-out finish.
