Hippie Perm in Cheongdam, Seoul
A hippie perm is a loose, uneven, relaxed wave that looks like natural texture after a day on the beach. It is the opposite of a tidy curl. The stylist chooses the technique at WENEED BLACK THE CHEONGDAM and confirms the listed price.

What makes a perm look hippie
The look is wide, loose and slightly unpredictable. Waves vary in size, some sections curl more than others, and the overall shape looks undone instead of neat. The name comes from the free, bohemian feel of the finished hair, not from a particular chemical.
That irregular quality is deliberate. A hippie perm is planned so the hair does not look wound on rods, even though rods are used.
How the stylist creates it
To avoid a uniform pattern, the stylist mixes rod sizes, wraps at different angles and sometimes leaves a few sections straighter. Larger rods create the broad, lazy waves. The ends are often left looser, so the finish feels light.
It takes a good eye, since randomness has to be controlled. This is why a photo of the exact mood you want, rather than a general description, saves a lot of guessing.
Cuts and lengths that suit it
- Medium to long hair, where waves have room to fall.
- Hair with soft, face-framing layers.
- Long bangs that blend into the sides. The bangs and fringe page covers fringe options.
Blunt, one-length hair can look heavy with a loose wave, so the stylist may recommend a light trim or layering first. Very short hair has too little length for the free movement this style depends on.
Style references
Price: how it is categorized
Because hippie is not listed as its own item, the stylist assigns the method that fits. A relaxed, natural version is usually carried out as the basic perm at ₩187,000. A version that needs a firmer set, so the wave holds when air-dried, may be done as the setting / digital perm at ₩385,000. The stylist confirms the figure once they have seen your hair, and the final amount also depends on stylist level and length.
Fine, thick and coloured hair
Fine hair takes a hippie wave easily but can lose it sooner, so larger rods and a lighter solution are often chosen. Thick hair holds the shape well but can look bulky, so thinning inside the layers may be suggested. For coloured or bleached hair, the wave can come out looser than planned, since damaged hair absorbs the solution unevenly. The stylist will tell you if the result may differ from the photo.
Styling the loose look
Scrunch a light cream or sea-salt style spray into damp hair, and let it dry without touching it. A diffuser on low heat is fine. Avoid brushing after it is dry, because that pulls the waves apart. The look improves after a night of sleep, when the pattern relaxes into a natural form.
Refresh with a few drops of water on your fingers and scrunch again.
