Sangwangsimni hair salon layered cut for thick wavy hair: Uahan Meori

Why I got a layered cut at a Sangwangsimni hair salon on a hot day

It suddenly got so hot lately. With the heat, my long hair started to feel really stifling, so I decided to go get it cut! I'm heading to the Sangwangsimni hair salon Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch (우아한머리 왕십리센트라스점) for a layered cut~~~

Location and hours of Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch

Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch is a 7-minute walk from Exit 1 of Sangwangsimni Station on Line 2. It's in the Centras apartment shopping arcade in Sangwangsimni, on the 2nd floor, so it was easy to find.

• Hours: Tue–Sun 10:00–20:00 (closed every Monday)
• Address: Building H, 1st floor, Wangsimni Centras, 410 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul

The map says 1st floor, but since the salon is in an apartment arcade, it felt like the 2nd floor to me. Go up the stairs and there's Uahan Meori! The weather was so nice that day that the walk there was even more fun.

Should you book Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch in advance?

You can reserve through Naver Reservation or by phone, so I recommend booking before you visit. I booked ahead with my designer.

Inside Uahan Meori, a Sangwangsimni hair salon

The inside of this Sangwangsimni hair salon felt really fresh, and the interior had such a warm feel! I couldn't tell from outside, but it's also roomier than I expected.

The outside wall is all glass, so sunlight pours in and it's bright, which put me in a good mood! I was there to have my messy hair cut by my designer.

Scalp pressure massage shampoo before the layered cut

At Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch, they shampoo your hair before cutting it.

They took me to the shampoo room, and the scalp pressure massage was so refreshing that I was really satisfied! The stylist's scalp massage felt so good that if it had gone on a bit longer I think I'd have fallen asleep, haha.

This is how I looked after the shampoo! My hair had grown out so fast while I wasn't looking, and with the waviness it looked even messier. Once it was washed, the messiness showed even more.

Wavy hair: deciding how much to cut

My designer asked how much I wanted cut, and I decided on trimming the damaged back hair and the bangs a bit! A layered cut to welcome summer~~~! Wavy hair is so hard to manage T_T

The result: layered cut for thick, wavy hair

The designer at Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch has fast hands, so the cut was very quick but also careful!! My ends were quite damaged, but they were properly cut off, so it looks much neater, and she thinned out a lot of my hair so it got sooo much lighter!💛

I had no dinner plans, but she blow-dried my hair a bit too, and it looked so pretty and I was really happy! It would be great to blow-dry every morning before going out, but I'm not diligent enough, T_T haha. Since I have thick hair, summer is so stifling and makes me even hotter, but after thinning it and neatly trimming the damaged ends, I feel much cooler and tidier💙

My bangs look much neater too and I'm so happy with them💖 I love how light it feels now..!

The designer's service and overall satisfaction

It feels so light that I'm really satisfied already. Since I only got a cut, I didn't chat much with the designer at this Sangwangsimni hair salon, Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch, but she was very nice and kind!💛 It was a short treatment, but I was really satisfied! You could tell she has a great personality.

I'm happy with my layered cut at Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch! Getting a summer layered cut at a Sangwangsimni Station hair salon felt so cool and good.
