Understand Your Hair Services
Every salon service has a name, a purpose, and a technique. Before your next appointment, know exactly what you're walking into — and how to ask for what you actually want.
Cuts
The foundation of any great hair look. Asian hair has specific structural properties that make cut technique critical — these pages explain what to look for, what to avoid, and how to communicate your goals.
- • Two-block cut — 兩區剪
- • Curtain bangs — 窗簾瀏海
- • Thinning shears — 打薄剪刀
- • Blunt cut — 齊切
- • Internal weight removal — 去除內部重量
- • Point cut — 點剪
Color & Lightening
Asian hair's high melanin density makes coloring more technically demanding than most people realize. These pages explain the science, set realistic expectations, and help you find a colorist who knows what they're doing.
- • Bleach — 漂髮
- • Toner — 色調劑
- • Eumelanin — 黑色素（決定黑髮深度）
- • Brassiness — 偏橘/偏黃（漂色後常見問題）
- • Deposit-only color — 不漂直接疊色
- • Bond builder — 鍵結修護（如 Olaplex）
- • Root touch-up — 補根
- • Money piece — 臉框挑染

Perm & Straightening
Perms and straightening treatments permanently reshape the hair's bond structure. Asian hair responds differently to these chemical processes — understanding the technique helps you choose the right service and maintain results.
- • Cold perm (alkaline perm) — 冷燙
- • Digital perm (heat perm) — 數位燙 / 熱燙
- • C-curl — 韓式C捲（髮尾向內捲）
- • S-wave — S波浪
- • Japanese straightening (縮毛矯正) — 日式離子燙
- • Korean flat perm (壓貼燙) — 壓貼燙
- • Disulfide bonds — 雙硫鍵（燙髮改變的髮質結構）
- • Rod size — 捲棒尺寸（決定捲度大小）
Treatment & Care
Every chemical service changes your hair's internal structure. Treatment and care services rebuild what's been lost — and done regularly, they're what allows you to keep styling without long-term damage.
- • Bond-building treatment — 鍵結修護（Olaplex / K18）
- • Protein treatment — 蛋白質護髮
- • Deep conditioning — 深層護髮
- • Keratin treatment — 角蛋白護髮
