The two block haircut has gone from a K-Pop trend to a global men’s style staple—and for good reason. It’s neat, modern, and works with almost every hair texture. From sleek and professional to bold and textured, this haircut gives you the best of both worlds: short sides for structure and a longer top for style.
At Puresouls Barbershop, your go-to Men’s hair salon in Toronto, we’ve perfected the art of the two block cut—precision fades, clean transitions, and perfectly balanced layers.
The Origins: From Seoul to Toronto
The two block cut first gained popularity in South Korea around 2010, with the rise of K-Pop and K-Drama culture.
Stars like Park Seo-joon and the members of BTS made this hairstyle iconic—combining volume, movement, and effortless confidence.
Over the past decade, this Korean-inspired haircut has evolved from its pop roots into a global men’s grooming phenomenon—now a regular request among Toronto’s trend-conscious clients.

1. Classic & Layered Two Block Haircuts
This is the foundation of all two block variations: a layered top, shorter sides, and a gentle back taper.
It suits almost every face shape, especially oval and heart-shaped ones, and offers a perfect mix of structure and softness.
Add a light pomade or matte paste for definition without stiffness.
2. Fade Two Block: The Hybrid Cut Everyone’s Talking About
Think of it as the perfect cross between the undercut and the fade.
The fade two block blends short, faded sides with longer layers on top—creating a fresh, clean look while keeping that Korean-inspired charm.
Ideal for those who like neat sides but still want styling freedom.
3. Textured & Styled Two Block Haircuts
Want something more casual or edgy?
Try a textured two block with rough layers or a messy fringe that adds personality.
This style is great for medium-to-thick hair and can be styled in seconds using sea-salt spray for natural lift and separation.
4. Fashion-Forward Two Block Styles
If you’re into trends, look no further than the Permed Two Block or Korean Idol Style.
These versions feature added wave or curl for dimension and drama.
They work great for photoshoots, fashion events, or just standing out on Queen Street West.
5. Two Block vs. Undercut: What’s the Difference?
Many confuse these two, but here’s the key:
The undercut has a sharp disconnect between top and sides.
The two block uses gradual layering and blended volume.
That’s why it’s more versatile and flattering for most face shapes.
Simply put—the two block is softer, smarter, and more wearable.
Styling & Maintenance Tips
To keep your two block sharp and natural:
Schedule trims every 3–4 weeks to maintain your side length.
Use light hold pomade or texturizing spray for volume and separation.
Blow dry top sections forward, then up, to maintain that “K-Pop flow.”
Ask your barber at Puresouls for a product suited to your hair texture.
