## In short

Project Lure is a hair salon in Sangdae-dong, near Doan in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, known for treatments customized to each guest's hair condition. For hair that was half-curly, very thick and already damaged, stylist Dain straightened the roots with root magic and shaped only the ends into a natural C-curl perm, after stripping out old perm residue with a pre-treatment shampoo. Hair that used to be tied up every day now falls into shape in the morning without being touched.

## Why I chose Project Lure, a hair salon in Sangdae-dong, Daejeon

Project Lure is a hair salon at 34 World Cup-daero 316beon-gil, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, in Sangdae-dong near Doan. My hair had been so damaged and hard to manage lately, so I went to this Daejeon Sangdae-dong salon that designs treatments custom-fit to your hair condition.

First, you can really see the before-and-after difference..! My hair was wavy + thick + damaged, basically a total mess. It was so unmanageable I was tying it up every single day, and I realized this couldn't go on. So while looking for a place that would design something suited to my hair's condition, I found Project Lure — famous for restoration perms — and got a root magic C-curl perm there!

## Where Project Lure is and what the salon looks like from outside

This well-loved Daejeon hair salon, Project Lure, sits in Sangdae-dong near Doan. Right by the entrance there's a neatly displayed price list too!

### Where to park at Project Lure

![Entrance to Project Lure's basement parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm-06-yn7qa-966.webp)

You can park in the building's basement lot. The entrance is right next to Paik's Coffee. Just note the entrance is narrow, so go in carefully..! If you're new to driving or the lot is full, there's also outside white-line parking you can use!

## Inside the salon: interior and seating

![Interior treatment space at Project Lure](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm-08-1deau-966.webp)

![Spacious, clean salon interior decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm-09-1k5yt-966.webp)

![Calm overall view of Project Lure's interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm-10-1dw3t-966.webp)

The interior had a different vibe than any salon I'd been to before — clean and upscale overall. The space itself was spacious too, so instead of that typical cluttered salon feel, it had a calm, comfortable atmosphere!

## The consultation: magic at the roots, a C-curl at the ends

I booked with stylist Dain, and she first asked what style I wanted, then explained how best to approach it based on my hair's condition! You could tell she's handled all kinds of hair before — she immediately knew what my hair type was like and what shape it would take after perming.

![Checking the wave at the roots](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm-12-1ma71-966.webp)

I decided to straighten the wave growing out from the roots with magic straightening, and do a natural C-curl perm on the ends.

![Preparing for the pre-treatment step](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm-14-ac8cw-966.webp)

## Old perm residue that washed out in the pre-treatment shampoo

They start by neatly detangling the hair, and even the steps before applying the perm solution are done carefully! She explained that the pre-treatment shampoo clears out leftover oil or silicone residue in the hair and replenishes what the hair needs.

![Ivory-colored old perm residue from the pre-treatment shampoo](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm/daejeon-doan-salon-magic-c-curl-perm-15-8yyz9-966.webp)

She told me that ivory-colored stuff was residue from perm products I'd used in the past. I never even knew this kind of thing was left in my hair,, this time they carefully cleared out all that leftover perm residue and got my hair's condition sorted before starting the actual treatment!

### Drinks and snacks during the service

And so I wouldn't get bored during the treatment, they set me up with drinks, cookies, and even chocolate. For drinks there was coffee, tea, juice, soda, and even non-alcoholic beer..!

## How the perm on damaged hair was done, step by step

Once the pre-treatment was done, the perm solution was applied all over! Since my hair was pretty damaged overall, she kept checking its condition throughout. Even during the shampoo, she said this was the moment my hair was weakest, and washed it gently without rubbing.

After the shampoo, we moved seats to continue with the setting perm. My hair, with all its thickness and uneven condition, wasn't an easy job, but she worked through it step by step!

Next, she used a flat iron to carefully straighten the wave from the roots down. She said if there's no moisture at all it can leave marks easily, so she went slow and gentle at a low temperature, almost like ironing.

### Neutralizing and the hair treatment in a massage chair

At the very end, after the oxidation-neutralizing step, they do an acid rinse and treatment — and get this, you can lie back in a massage chair while it happens..! That's exactly when fatigue peaks, so getting a soothing massage while neutralizing felt like the tiredness just melted away — it felt like real self-care. And they kept caring for the hair to prevent damage right to the very end!

## The finished root magic and C-curl perm

And so my hair was done..! Not a single damaged spot, and the waviness was straightened out so well! I wanted a style that would naturally hold its shape without much fuss on busy mornings, and it came out exactly like that — I was so satisfied!

She also gave me detailed instructions on how to dry and care for it at home. I really felt how important it is to have someone understand your hair's condition well and design a style that fits it. It reminded me once again that you should trust your hair to a real expert who's handled a lot of it!

If you're looking for a place that designs to your hair's condition while minimizing damage, rather than doing the same treatment on everyone, I'd recommend Project Lure, a hair salon in Sangdae-dong, Yuseong, Daejeon!
