Bucheon hair salon: Ojuah Aqua Beer clinic for curls, Kkomblli Salon

Kkomblli Salon Bucheon Sinjungdong is a hair salon on the 3rd floor of the Mugwang Office building near Sinjungdong Station in Bucheon. The writer, who regularly got straightening perms for curly, dry hair, had the 4-step Ojuah Aqua Beer clinic at Kkomblli Salon, applied by hand without machines. Afterwards the curls along the front hairline were calmer and the hair no longer tangled when combed. The Ojuah Aqua Beer clinic suits anyone who wants to tame curls while protecting hair condition instead of getting another straightening perm.
