What Is the Hime Cut?

The Hime Cut—a.k.a. the Princess Cut—is the ultimate blend of old-money royalty and modern cool-girl energy. Originally worn by Japanese aristocrats (hime literally means “princess” in Japanese), this sleek, statement-making style features sharply cut, cheek-length side locks paired with long or mid-length hair. It’s effortlessly chic, face-framing, and serves up a killer mix of vintage elegance and high-fashion edge.

But this isn’t just an anime aesthetic—this t is a full-blown celeb obsession. From K-pop royalty like BLACKPINK’s Lisa and Jisoo, TWICE’s Momo, Suzy, and HyunA to pop icons like CL, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus, A-listers everywhere are making this look their own. Whether you’re feeling soft and sweet, sleek and edgy, or bold and dramatic, a few tweaks to the length and layers can give you a Princess Cut that’s totally your vibe.

Shorter chins
Side locks cut between the earlobe and chin create the illusion of length, smoothing facial lines while accentuating your best features.

Longer chins
Go for cheekbone- or earlobe-length side locks to soften angular features and balance proportions.
