Cheongdam hair salon half-up updo for receiving the bouquet: Beorn

My close friend asked me to catch the bouquet at her wedding, so I put extra thought into my guest outfit! I was only a guest, but you get photographed a lot, and the bouquet moment is one that stays on record, so I wanted a style that looks natural and pretty. That's why I headed to Beorn Hair Cheongdam (비오른헤어 청담점).

What kind of hair salon is Beorn Hair Cheongdam?

If I had to pick one favorite hair salon, it would be this Cheongdam spot, no contest. I once needed a place in a hurry for my boyfriend's birthday, walked into Beorn Hair right in front of me, and they styled my hair exactly how I wanted. I've been back many times on my own dime since then.

Can you get a wedding-guest half-up updo without bangs?

This visit was for the day I'd catch the bouquet at my 15-year friend's wedding, so I booked ahead and asked for a half-up updo. It was a big day, as it was my closest friend's bouquet. I was a little worried since I had no bangs, but I trusted my favorite stylists and asked for the half-up updo again.

How the half-up updo was styled at Beorn Hair Cheongdam

The half-up went in this order: build overall volume, make naturally flowing curls, then tie up only the top section to set the shape. They looked at the wispy hairs in real detail, too. They also pulled out the side lines to suit my face shape, which made the whole look neater and softer.

How did the finished wedding-guest half-up look in photos?

The finished half-up was exactly the vibe I wanted! Not overdone, natural, yet you can clearly tell effort went in: neat and polished. Because it's half-up, it doesn't look stuffy, and the back has volume, so it looked dimensional in photos!

Honestly, a style like this can look different depending on the angle or where you're viewing from, but it was balanced from every direction, and I was really happy with it.

The hair flowed naturally without coming loose, so the whole look came out much neater. I liked it even more because they styled it around my face shape, my overall vibe and even the outfit I wore that day.

Reactions to the half-up updo on the wedding day

At the wedding, family and other guests liked the half-up from Beorn Hair Cheongdam. My friend is close with my family too, so I went with my parents. My mom said I looked neat and loved it, and people around me kept saying my hair looked pretty today, which felt great. It reminded me again that for an important occasion, it's worth getting a professional's touch.

My favorite salon, Beorn Hair Cheongdam! The atmosphere, the finish and how long it held were all satisfying for this updo :)
