The newest blonde obsession? Beige blonde. This sandy blonde shade intertwined with gray and green reflects the trendsetter Seoul spirit. Using techniques like the AirTouch balayage, achieving this coveted look is easier than ever.
Pure Pink (핑크)
A Barbie dream, minus the purple. Soonsiki’s salon is buzzing with this post-bleach fave. Starting with a platinum-blonde base, a pop of bubblegum dye completes the look.
