No One’s Face Is Perfectly Symmetrical — What Nature Teaches Us About the Essence of Hair Design
No human face is perfectly symmetrical.
The height of the eyes, the shape of the nose, the lift of the mouth corners, the jawline, and the skull structure — everything is slightly different from side to side.
In the world of hairdressing, being able to cut hair symmetrically is often considered a skill. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it suits the person. If you cut hair to be perfectly even like on a mannequin or wig, it can actually end up looking unnatural.
Asymmetry Creates What Truly “Suits You”
What I focus on is making subtle adjustments
to match each client’s unique facial differences.
- Slightly changing the length or volume of the bangs on each side
- Adjusting side volume to fit the bone structure
- Even changing the height of the rounded shape at the back of the head
These fine adjustments result in a naturally beautiful balance that suits each individual.
The Beauty of Imbalance, Taught by Trees
Take a look at the trees in a park or forest.
The trunks may be twisted, and the branches are rarely evenly spaced on both sides.
And yet, we still feel they are “balanced” and “beautiful.”
This is the mysterious harmony of nature — something that can only be felt through our senses.
Hairstyles are the same.
Instead of aiming for perfect symmetry, embracing the natural imbalance allows for a one-of-a-kind design that’s uniquely yours.
A Design That Brings Out Your Individuality
I draw inspiration from nature and bring that sensibility into my daily work.
Just as trees, oceans, and mountains are all different in shape yet beautiful, every human face is unique — and that’s perfectly fine.
Respecting and enhancing those differences —
that’s my mission as a hairstylist, and it’s what leads to hairstyles that truly reflect your individuality.
Not “perfect symmetry,”
but “a natural balance that is uniquely yours.”
That’s the feeling I always keep in mind when I pick up my scissors.
