Flat crown volume: why did I need a consultation?

I visited CHOP Hair Jamsil Branch, a hair salon near Saenae Station, because my flat crown made the lower half of my face stand out. As the weather gets hotter my hair droops, and every time I looked in the mirror my head shape bugged me. Just like getting a personal color diagnosis to find the shades that suit you, I felt I badly needed a consultation tailored to my own face shape and hairline.

My head is the type that needs a lot of volume, and at most places the volume either collapsed quickly or made my lower face look even more prominent. But I finally found what feels like the savior of my life!

What is the atmosphere at CHOP Hair Jamsil Branch like?

CHOP Hair Jamsil Branch is really close to Saenae Station, in a wide, open space of about 50 pyeong. I'd heard it perfectly covers the weak points of your face shape and head, so I went and got the full course: the volume perm of my life, a fringe perm and a protein clinic.

The moment I walked in I couldn't help exclaiming. The white-and-wood interior is clean and pleasant, so over the long treatment I never felt stuffed in, more like I was relaxing and healing. They kindly offered a drink and explained things as soon as I sat down, so I was happy from the first impression.

The director's 1:1 face-shape and head consultation

The director of CHOP Hair Jamsil Branch did my treatment personally, and before starting, gave me a consultation analyzing my face shape, head structure and hair flow. Honestly, whenever a salon asks "What style do you want?", I find it hard to explain my head's weak points clearly.

I mumbled something vague like, "Just give me lots of volume... and something that suits my face shape...", but the director really lived up to the "golden hands" title. After quietly looking at my reflection, they picked up on my worries right away!

For you, the volume in this part of your head needs to come back to soften your overall hairline, and if your fringe falls like this, your face will look much smaller.

They pinpointed exactly the complex I'd been quietly agonizing over.

Like being diagnosed for personal color, they carefully analyzed my face shape, head structure and hair flow in this 1:1 personalized beauty consultation, and deep trust built up from that stage on. Thanks to the director's professional eye, "Just do whatever looks pretty!" came out of my mouth on its own.

How did the volume perm and fringe perm go?

After the consultation, we decided on a volume perm to build dimension at the roots and a fringe perm to softly wrap my messy hairline. Once the treatment began, the director's delicate touch really shone. They didn't just mechanically wind rods; they worked out exactly which parts of my head were flattest and which points needed lifting, and sectioned my hair accordingly.

The fringe perm was curled smoothly like drawing a curtain, at the angle that shows off my side cheekbones and jawline best. I thought, so this is why everyone entrusts their hair to a master. All through the process they checked whether anything felt uncomfortable, and generously shared tips on how to style it at home so the hairline and volume hold.

The protein clinic I got with the perm

After checking my hair condition, the director recommended a protein clinic (hair treatment) along with the perm for bouncy curls. However pretty the perm, if your hair is frizzy and damaged the curls lose their polish, right?

They applied the product generously so the protein nutrients could soak deep into my hair, then used a steamer to lock in moisture and nourishment. During the clinic I could even feel my hair getting heavier and firmer with my fingertips. Hair usually gets damaged after a perm, but thanks to CHOP Hair's protein clinic it was actually smoother and shinier than before the treatment, which amazed me.

Volume perm and fringe perm results: was my face shape covered?

After the volume perm, natural dimension came back to the flat top and sides of my head, and the fringe perm wrapped the gaps around my cheekbones and hairline. When everything was done and I'd lightly blow-dried it, I looked in the mirror and my jaw literally dropped! My crown and sides were always sunken, which made my face line stand out, but thanks to the director's volume perm, soft, natural dimension came back over my whole head like a miracle.

On top of that, the swirling fringe perm gently wrapped the gaps around my cheekbones and hairline, creating an optical illusion that my face looked half the size...! The natural but definite volume I wanted was reproduced exactly. Because the director caught what I wanted and designed it, my head's weak points were covered perfectly, without a trace.

Even if I just shake my hair dry, the volume holds, so my morning getting-ready time for work has been cut in half. People around me keep complimenting me too: "You found the hair that suits you for life," and "It looks like you got a hairline job."

Who would I recommend CHOP Hair Jamsil Branch to?

I'd recommend a consultation with the director at CHOP Hair Jamsil Branch to anyone stressed about a flat crown or looking for a hairline that suits their face shape. Everyone's head and face shape are different, so I think a salon shouldn't be just a place to perm and cut hair, but a consulting space that finds the style that suits you.

This salon near Saenae Station has a spacious, pleasant space, but above all the director's skill, picking up on my needs so precisely and perfectly covering my weak points, was overwhelming. If you share my worries, don't hesitate: get a life-changing personal beauty consultation from the director at CHOP Hair! I think you'll be completely satisfied with no failure. 💖
