Hippie Buddha Goes Global

Founder of Afro Perm

Once a year, I travel to the U.S.-not just to style hair, but to deliver identity.

Today, I`d like to share a story from exactly this time last year, when I revisited some of my long-time clients during a styling tour in the united States.

How Can You Get an Afro Perm?

There  are two main ways to experience an Afro Perm

1. Buddha Black Afro Perm Kit
   ■ A complete DIY kit designed for anyone, anywhere in the world, to create a powerful Afro style at home
2. Visit a Hippie Buddha Salon in Korea
   ■ If you visit our salon in Korea, our professional stylists will provide a fully customized 1-on-1 Afro perm tailored to your head shape and hair type.

* More and more clients are flying in from the U.S., Japan, and Europe to experience a style that’s uniquely their own.

But Not Everyone Can Make It to Korea…

I`ve been styling hair in the U.S. for over 18 years, and i still have many loyal clients there.

That`s why I travel to the State once a year to offer personalized styling sessions for clients who can`t come to Korea.

Last year’s tour was no different — a joyful reunion with longtime customers, many of whom had been waiting patiently.
Together, we added curls, confidence, and self-expression back into their lives.

“For them, hair isn’t just a look — it’s a statement of identity.”

You can find more of my tour stories on the Hippie Buddha YouTube channel or on our SNS.

Afro Perm

Afro perms are gaining popularity worldwide, especially among men looking for bold, expressive styles.
This technique mimics the natural 4C curl pattern, and can be achieved even on hair as short as 2–3 cm.

The result?

Rich texture, strong volume, and undeniable presence.
