Daegu hair salon root touch-up before a wedding, ₩70,000: With Me Hair

My review of the dye job I got done at With Me Hair before my wedding 💇🏻‍♀️ With the wedding coming up, there are honestly so many things to worry about these days.

Between dress fittings, makeup, skincare, nails and everything else on the wedding prep list, hair turned out to be the thing that quietly nagged at me the most.

Why With Me Hair recommended a root touch-up instead of a full dye

At With Me Hair on Jungangno in Daegu, I ended up just doing a root touch-up instead of the full dye I'd originally planned. During the consultation, they told me that given the current state of my hair, just cleaning up the roots would be enough.

Especially on the wedding day, with all the close-up photos, having grown-out roots was something I kept worrying about. So before the wedding I went looking for a salon to get things sorted out neatly, and that's how I ended up at With Me Hair.

Originally I went in thinking about a full dye job. Since it's before the wedding, I figured it'd be better to even out the color all over, so I'd decided a full dye was the way to go.

But once I got the consultation, they told me a root touch-up alone would be enough, more than I expected. Honestly, I sometimes feel a bit wary going to salons because I worry I'll be talked into extra treatments, so it was nice that they looked at my actual hair and told me I didn't need to go all the way to a full dye.

With the wedding coming up there's already so much to spend money on, so being told I only needed the root dye — not any unnecessary treatment — ended up saving me money too. That part personally sat really well with me.

With Me Hair location in Jung-gu, Daegu and how to get there

With Me Hair is on the 3rd floor of the building. I got off near Nanu228 Park and walked over, which took roughly 5 minutes.

It wasn't inconvenient to reach by public transit at all, and it was easy enough to find nearby, so accessibility was fine. For a first-time visit, an awkward location can be its own kind of stress, but here it was a quick, easy walk from the park, which I appreciated.

Checking the hair extra carefully before the wedding

Honestly, with the wedding approaching, I've been looking at my hair more critically than usual. Normally I can let a little messiness or something I don't love slide, but as the wedding gets closer, I kept worrying about how it would look in photos.

My hair in particular had a few spots that bothered me — some parts where the color looked slightly off, and an overall unkempt feel from the grown-out roots. So this time, rather than just dyeing it however, I wanted them to really look at the state of my hair and smooth it out as naturally as possible.

During the consultation they assessed my current hair and told me the root dye alone would be enough, and after the actual treatment, my hair definitely felt much neater.

Clinic treatment plus root dye for 70,000 won

The treatment I got was clinic + root dye, and the total cost was ₩70,000.

What I especially liked was that instead of just pushing the pricier option, they matched the treatment to what my hair actually needed.

How the pre-wedding root dye turned out 🤍

After the dye, my hair definitely felt more put-together.

I'd been low-key stressed about my hair before the wedding, so I was happy that the blotchy, uneven spots got smoothed out naturally.

If you're getting married too, hair can be a surprisingly stressful thing to sort out. What made me most satisfied was that they paid attention even to the little details I was especially sensitive about because of the wedding.

Maybe because I got the clinic treatment along with it, my hair felt even more polished, and overall neater — I felt glad I'd gotten it sorted out before the wedding. With the wedding getting closer, even the smallest things start to matter, so having my hair looking clean felt like one less thing to worry about. 😊

If you're also debating a root touch-up before your wedding, or wondering whether you need a full dye, I'd recommend getting a consultation on your current hair first. I originally planned on a full dye, but was told it wasn't necessary, so I went with a root touch-up instead — and thanks to that, I saved money and still got my hair looking neat.
