Gwacheon hair salon for layered cut and root volume: One & Only Hair

My hair had become flat overall, and my fringe had grown to an awkward length, so it needed tidying up. Rather than changing the length dramatically, I wanted to keep the current feel while refining it for my face shape and head shape, so I visited One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station (원앤온리헤어 과천청사역점).

How was the walk from Gwacheon Government Complex Station?

It was not difficult to find from the station, so I could visit comfortably. The salon is on B1 of Gwacheon Government Complex Station Hanyang Sujain Officetel, at 15 Byeolyangsangga 1-ro.

Since I was getting both a cut and a perm this time, I allowed plenty of time. The atmosphere felt comfortable when I first came in, so I could have the consultation without feeling tense.

How did I consult on a layered cut for my face shape?

Rather than asking for a fixed style exactly as it was, I wanted to find a design that suited my hair condition and face shape. We talked through my current hair condition and how I usually style my hair during the consultation.

What I liked most about the consultation was that they set the direction of the cut with my head shape and face shape in mind. They also considered my hair’s thickness and length, then chose layers that would suit my face naturally, so I felt comfortable leaving it to them.

What changed with the layered cut and root volume perm?

My hair tends to fall flat, so I had always been disappointed by the lack of volume around the crown. This time, I added a root volume perm to the layered cut to lift the roots.

I was concerned that too many layers would be difficult to style, so the cut was done while keeping the overall balance. Without changing the length dramatically, the natural layers around my face made my hair feel lighter. I also liked that the added root volume made the line of my head look neater from the side.

How were the curl and direction of the fringe perm?

I also had the fringe, which I usually spend a lot of time styling, permed. It gave the fringe volume and direction while creating curls that fell naturally without looking overly rolled up.

I liked that the curls were not excessive, and with the front direction set, I thought morning styling would be much easier.

How was the finished style and ease of styling?

For me, it is important that a style is as easy to manage myself as it looks when finished at the salon. This time, I was most satisfied with how the layers and volume were adjusted for my face shape.

The hair around my face fell naturally, making my impression look softer. With volume at the roots and less weight from the layered cut, I could change the overall feel without looking overly styled.

With the root volume perm setting the basic volume and the fringe perm organizing the front direction, it felt as though the shape came together with just a little styling. It suited my goal of tidying hair that falls flat without changing the length dramatically. I also enjoyed the snack they provided during my visit.
