Station. The writer's roots had grown out fast and looked messy, so they booked a rush root dye, and U Art Hair Hongdae carefully matched the new color to the existing shade, used a protective product and finished with a styling blow-dry. For color-matching work like a root touch-up in a calm setting, U Art Hair Hongdae is a good fit. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3F, 79 Wausan-ro 27-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (near Hongik Univ.

The location is honestly great, so I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a hair salon in Mapo. ![Interior of U Art Hair Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-04-2wa7d-900.webp) ![U Art Hair Hongdae near Hongik Univ. Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-05-1jyor-m-900.webp) Among Hongdae salons, an easy commute like this matters more than you'd think, right? It also opens early in the morning, so fitting it into your schedule is easy~ ## Inside U Art Hair Hongdae and the 1:1 consultation Inside, U Art Hair Hongdae wasn't crowded and had a calm atmosphere overall, so I could relax during my treatment. It didn't feel loud or chaotic, which I liked even more. ![Calm interior of U Art Hair Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-06-j7ohr-900.webp) ![Treatment area inside U Art Hair Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-07-1bh02-m-900.webp) The owner-stylist greeted me kindly and did a thorough consultation, so even though it was my first visit, I felt at ease. ![One-on-one consultation and treatment at U Art Hair Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-08-peyz3-900.webp) Maybe because it's one-on-one, everything from the consultation to the treatment felt focused. ## Root dye in Hongdae: how does the salon match your existing color? Color matching is the key to a root touch-up, and at U Art Hair Hongdae the stylist carefully checked that my newly grown roots would blend naturally with my existing color. (Nice!) ![Color matching during the root dye](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-09-121h4-707.webp) ![Root dye process at U Art Hair Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-10-l6dsq-900.webp) ![Root dye applied to match the existing color](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-11-4lgps-900.webp) I've been to quite a few salons, but not many look at the details this closely. ### Before the treatment and the protective product ![Hair with grown-out roots before the root dye](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-12-tjmz0-900.webp) *Before / protective product* ![Before the root dye, with the protective product](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-13-1apk5-900.webp) The root dye was fairly quick, but it never felt rushed. If anything, the stylist was even more thorough, so I was very satisfied :) ![Root dye in progress at U Art Hair Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-14-1hluj-900.webp) ![Protective product used during the root dye](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-15-1u1qf-900.webp) They also sprayed a protective product, which really put me at ease, hehe :) The stylist is so sweet and the skills were top-notch (Credit where it's due!) ## Root dye before and after: how much changed? ![Hair after the root dye at U Art Hair Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-16-edllf-1200.webp) Before the root dye, the roots stood out and my hair looked messy overall. Afterward, the color connects naturally and the whole look is much neater. You can really tell a professional's touch makes the difference. The result was better than I expected, and I kept checking it in the mirror. ![Hair color naturally blended after the root dye](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-17-xx04z-900.webp) I heard U Art Hair Hongdae has been open for 5 years! In Hongdae, the holy land of beauty, near Hongdae Station, it has held its spot for quite a while, so there's a reason for it, hehe ## Finishing blow-dry and styling I also liked the finishing blow-dry after the root dye at U Art Hair Hongdae. It wasn't just drying; they styled it beautifully, so I didn't need to fix anything myself afterward! ![Finishing styling blow-dry after the root dye](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-18-13s27-900.webp) Touches like this made me think it's a savvy salon even among Hongdae's many options. (Highly, highly recommended!) ## Who is U Art Hair Hongdae good for? Overall, U Art Hair Hongdae was a Mapo hair salon I was happy with on value, location and treatment quality. ![Final result of the root dye at U Art Hair Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair/hongdae-root-touch-up-uart-hair-19-1jsm3-900.webp) I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxed treatment in an uncomplicated atmosphere, and to anyone weighing a detail-heavy service like root dye! If you're looking for a Hongdae hair salon, U Art Hair Hongdae is worth a visit! (Truly recommended) I'm planning to go back next time too.
