STYLE GUIDE
What Is VK Style?
VK Style is a Japanese Visual Kei-inspired haircut created for people with a strong personal identity and a world of their own. It is not one fixed shape. Wolf, Shag, Hush, and Jellyfish elements are blended together, with every section carefully preserved, removed, or disconnected to create the right balance. This requires an exceptional understanding of layered cutting because one incorrect decision can completely distort the silhouette, and once too much length is removed, there is no way back. VK Style can move in several directions. An artistic version may be worn flat and wet, with extremely fine, tapered ends. A manga-inspired version keeps more weight, allowing the ends to flick and form a graphic silhouette. A band-inspired version may feature longer framing and a stronger forward angle. Choosing the right direction with the stylist is essential. The cut must match the client’s identity, length, styling habits, and desired image. Among all layered styles, VK is one of the most technically demanding. It depends not only on cutting skill, but on an advanced sense of proportion, restraint, and balance.
Who Does It Suit?
VK style is not really about whether it “suits” you.
It is a much more committed haircut.
The shape is almost like creating a short haircut on top, while keeping long hair underneath, giving it a distinctive jellyfish-like structure.
Once you cut this much into the shape, it is not a hairstyle you can easily return from.
That is exactly what makes it special.
VK style is for someone who does not simply want a different haircut, but wants to say, “This is my style.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does VK style need styling?
It depends heavily on your hair texture.
If your hair naturally falls into shape, you may need very little styling.
However, if your hair has more texture, wave, or significant damage, the different sections can move in different directions and the shape of the haircut may become less defined.
In that case, some styling is recommended to keep the silhouette clean and make the structure of the haircut stand out.
