Sinbu-dong hair salon in Cheonan: root straightening at CHOP Hair

My hair's been so frizzy lately that even straightening it with a flat iron every morning has started to feel like a chore ㅠㅠ Especially at the roots, which kept lifting up, giving my whole head an unkempt feeling — so I finally went to a hair salon after a long while!

This time I visited CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch, which I found while looking for a hair salon in Sinbu-dong, Cheonan. I got a root magic straightening treatment from designer Dajeong! Spoiler alert — I loved the results so much that I'm writing this review in a great mood haha.

Location and hours of CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch

CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch is located at 50 Mannam-ro, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, on the 3rd floor of Terminal Plaza. Hours are 10:30 - 20:00, and parking is available in the building.

Take the elevator up to the 3rd floor and the salon is right there. I liked that there was a price list for treatments near the entrance, so you can check roughly how much things cost before even stepping inside haha.

The interior was spacious and clean. There was plenty of room in the waiting area too, so I could get my hair done comfortably without feeling crowded.

My hair condition before the root straightening

When I arrived at CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch, my roots were slightly lifting and my whole head felt a bit frizzy.

Normally I'd have to blow-dry and flat-iron my hair just to get it looking somewhat neat, so styling every morning was kind of a hassle ㅠㅠ Especially since my roots weren't laying flat, my whole hairstyle never fell nicely!

So this time, I wanted a style where the roots would be pressed down naturally while the whole thing stayed neat and tidy.

Consultation for root magic straightening with designer Dajeong

I made a reservation in advance and received the treatment from designer Dajeong at CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch. I tend to ask a lot of questions when I get my hair done haha, and designer Dajeong kindly explained everything to me one by one without ever seeming bothered, even as I kept asking.

She explained in detail what condition my hair was currently in and what kind of look I'd get after root straightening, which put my mind at ease even before we started haha.

Honestly, straightening treatments can easily go wrong and end up making hair look too flat and pressed down or unnatural. So I told her I wanted a naturally tidy look, and she carefully tailored the treatment to match the style I wanted.

She even gave me a hand pack during the treatment! She said she bought these herself with her own money for her customers haha. Touched by how thoughtful that was.

The finished root straightening — how natural does it look?

And finally, the root magic straightening was complete~ Before the treatment my roots were lifting and my whole head looked frizzy, but afterward my hair was neatly settled starting right from the roots, and it looked much calmer overall.

Most importantly, just like I wanted, it wasn't pressed down too flat but naturally tidy, which I really loved haha. It looked calmer overall and the whole silhouette became cleaner, so it was clear I'd just gotten my hair done. I guess hair really does need proper care at a salon every once in a while haha haha.

Would I recommend this Sinbu-dong hair salon in Cheonan?

Getting root magic straightening from designer Dajeong at CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch this time was satisfying from the kind consultation all the way through the meticulous treatment. The result also came out exactly the natural look I wanted, which made me happy haha. And the scalp pack care I got while washing my hair was so refreshing that it stuck with me.~

If you're looking for a hair salon in Sinbu-dong or considering root magic straightening, I think it's worth getting a consultation at CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch~ If you've been struggling every day with a flat iron or blow-dryer because of your roots like I was, I think styling will definitely get much easier.

I loved the result so much this time that I want to visit designer Dajeong again the next time I get my hair done haha.
