Where is 26do Hair Suseong Branch, and how is the parking?

26do Hair Suseong Branch is close to Exit 4 of Daebonggyo Station, and parking is free too~ The salon is on the 2nd floor of Lotte Castle Sangga (a shopping arcade), so you just use the building's parking lot.

<Parking lot location> Search "Suseong 1-ga-dong Community Service Center" in your navigation app. The entrance to the arcade's parking lot is right next to the center.

Inside 26do Hair Suseong Branch and the consultation

As soon as you walk in, there's a waiting area. They take your coat and bag and keep them for you separately.

To get things right, they first check what styling you had done before, whether you do any hair care, and what style you want, then they talk it through with you and start the treatment~

Gown on~ all ready!

Ash brown fading too light? Try mocha brown

At 26do Hair Suseong Branch, you tell them the feel you want before dyeing and they recommend a color.

I used to go for ash brown a lot for tone-downs, but the color faded too fast and faded light. This time I said I wanted something that stays dark even as it fades, without getting much lighter, and the director recommended mocha brown!

My gray hair before the treatment

> Before

I have gray hair, so I keep dyeing steadily. I mostly do root touch-ups, and when the color gets too light I do a tone-down now and then. This hair was dyed about 3 months ago, so the roots had grown out a lot, the white hairs were showing, and it just looked messy..

Blending a blunt cut into a natural layered cut

I was getting a cut too, so we looked at how my hair was at the moment.. and even now, that previous cut is not great.. haha. I'd asked for lots of layers, but it came out chopped off blunt..

So we decided not to touch the length much and just blend it in naturally. We did the cut first, before the dye!

While I waited before the dye, they set out a drink and cookies for me haha

How did the tone-down dye go?

They also put protective caps on my ears so the dye wouldn't get on them.

They dye the crown first, then apply the dye to the lower hair. It's fast but they were thorough haha. The dye didn't smell much, my eyes didn't sting, and it was a comfortable experience!

I waited about 30 minutes for the dye to set, and they gave me one heat treatment in the meantime!

We finished with a shampoo, and the tone-down turned out well, so I'm happy! The color will fade of course, but they told me it won't fade as light as before! Before blow-drying, they put a hair-loss-prevention essence on my scalp, then a hair-protecting essence, and then dried my hair.

Final result: mocha brown tone-down and layered cut

All done♡ The calm tone-down is perfect!! I loved it. My hair wasn't damaged much, and the cut now blends in more naturally, so I'm very satisfied!

I had plans afterward, so they even styled it with a blow-dry for me! After the curling iron too, I like the cut even more.
