Face-shape cut prices
A face-shape cut is a haircut planned around your face. The two haircut levels apply, and the stylist confirms the final price.
| Service | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Designer haircut | ₩44,000 | Naver Place price |
| Director haircut | ₩120,000 | Naver Place price |
Prices follow the salon’s Naver Place listing (October 2026). The price also depends on the stylist’s level, hair length and hair condition, and your stylist confirms the final price before work starts.
How a stylist reads your face
A stylist looks at proportions rather than labels. They compare forehead width, cheekbone width and jaw width, and note the length of the face. Then they check features such as ears, hairline and neck. Common labels are oval, round, square, heart and long, but most faces mix two.
Treat the labels as shorthand. The real question is which part of your face you would like to emphasize and which to soften.
General ideas, not rules
- Round faces: length below the chin and some height at the crown can make the face look longer.
- Square faces: soft layers and curves around the jaw can soften strong corners.
- Long faces: a fringe or width at the sides can balance the length.
- Heart-shaped faces: chin-length volume and a light fringe can balance a wide forehead.
- Oval faces: most shapes work, so choose by taste and hair type.
These are guides. Hair type, density and your own preferences usually override them.
How the cut is planned
The stylist often starts with the hair dry and parted the way you wear it. They hold sections of hair against your face to see how length and angle change the look. This is a quick, practical test that costs nothing. Sometimes the right idea appears after the stylist lifts the hair and shows two options in the mirror.
Face-framing layers, a fringe, and the position of the part are the three tools that change a face the most. The fringe is a separate menu item, explained on the bangs cut page.
Style references
Reference photos that work
Choose photos of people whose face is similar to yours in proportion. A haircut that suits a model with a narrow jaw may not suit a wide one. Bring front, side and three-quarter views.
Also take a clear, straight-on selfie of your own face with the hair pulled back. It helps both of you see the shape without the hair. Mention anything you dislike about the current look, for example “my forehead feels wide.”
How stylist level changes the price
The menu lists two haircut levels: Designer at ₩44,000 and Director at ₩120,000. Both prices come from the Naver Place listing. The final price depends on the stylist level you book, your hair length and its condition, and the stylist confirms it before work starts.
If you want advice on shape and are open to different ideas, a Director-level cut gives you the most planning discussion. If you already know the style, a Designer-level cut can carry it out. These are general suggestions. The stylist confirms what is possible once they see your hair.
Holding the shape
Face-framing pieces grow out first, so a small trim of the front keeps the effect. Many guests refresh them every six weeks or so, a general figure. Learn the dryer direction for the front sections, because that is where the shape is created.
Compare cuts on the bob cut page and the layered cut page. Booking is through Naver, explained in the booking guide. The salon is closed on Sunday and Monday.
