Sangwangsimni salon: first bob in 4 years + red-free brown, Oreudeubi

A Sangwangsimni hair salon recommendation: Oreudeubi

Today I'm introducing Oreudeubi (오르드비), a Sangwangsimni salon that's great for anyone near Sindang Station looking for a good hair place. After all that dyeing and cutting, my hair was seriously damaged, and I wanted a change of mood. My conclusion: cut it into a bob for the first time in 4 years!

Since it's my first bob in ages, I wanted to go somewhere that really knows hair, so I searched around and ended up here. Here's my review of the bob cut + tone-down dye at Oreudeubi, which I'd recommend as a salon near Sindang Station!

Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch: location and hours

Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch is at 410 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, in the Centras shopping complex, Building i, 1st floor, Unit 118. It's open 10:30 to 20:00, and both reservations and parking are available.

How to find Oreudeubi in the Centras complex

Oreudeubi is inside the Centras shopping complex. Enter the complex from the main road and turn right, and you'll find it easily.

I just walked naturally and found it right away, but if you have trouble, call the shop and they'll kindly guide you.

What's the atmosphere at Oreudeubi like?

I visited right when they opened, and lots of customers came in quickly. They seemed like regulars!

The shop is clean yet cozy, so I could get my hair done in a relaxed atmosphere.

Bob cut + tone-down dye: starting with a consultation

Before the treatment, my hair was unmanaged and dry, the perm had loosened, and the dye had faded into a patchy mess... a total disaster, right?

At Oreudeubi, you fill out a consultation chart before your treatment. You write down the style you want, your hair condition and so on, then talk with the designer. I liked that it made things more thorough!

The designer was worried about me cutting a bob after so long, asking if I wouldn't regret losing all that grown-out length. She even let me try cutting a bit myself, and it was fun 😆

We decided to keep the cut simple for now and fine-tune it after dyeing! For the color, we went with my usual: a red-free brown tone-down.

Snacks while the dye sets, shampoo in a massage chair

My designer applied the tone-down dye very carefully 👍🏻 Then I just waited for a while with a plastic cap on.

They also brought snacks, so my mouth never got bored haha. There were even oat cookies, which I love. That's our little secret!

I got a shampoo after dyeing too, and the shampoo area at Oreudeubi has a luxurious massage chair..! I got a massage the whole time my hair was being washed, and it felt great and really relaxing.

Results: first bob in 4 years and tone-down dye

And here's today's finished hair! My designer matched the style I wanted really well and kindly showed me how to style it, so I was very satisfied.

Especially the bangs: I never liked them whenever a salon cut them, but this time I love the style, and the patchy hair color is now totally clean.

I'd call this a huge image transformation success, right? My hair looking puffy was stressing me out, but now that it's cut neatly it feels fresh, and people around me said it suits me, too.

Oreudeubi bob cut: a length that doesn't flip out

At Oreudeubi, they cut the bob prettily, at a length that doesn't flip out, just as I requested, and the tone-down came out just as I imagined! In sunlight a subtle brown glow shows up, so I think it'll look pretty even when the color fades a bit haha.

If you're looking for a good hair place in Seoul, I recommend Oreudeubi in Sangwangsimni, and my designer there~
