Momentium treated curly hair with a root magic straightening and a cut, a process that ran several hours: solution applied, 10 minutes under a heat machine, flat iron work, then neutralizing. The shampoo and neutralizing were done lying back in a massage chair, so the long appointment felt easy, and the curl at the roots was smoothed away completely. ## Good to know - **Location**: 848-13 Manchon-dong, Suseong-gu, Daegu (1F, 42 Cheongho-ro 96-gil), 5-minute walk from Manchon Station - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–19:30, closed Mondays - **Parking**: Nearby public parking lot on weekdays; parking in front of the salon on weekends - **How it runs**: One-person salon, booking via Naver recommended - **Treatment received**: Root magic straightening + cut *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* It was about time for another magic straightening treatment, so I went to Momentium, a Manchon-dong, Daegu hair salon known for great magic straightening! ![Curly hair texture before the magic straightening treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-01-wvlvu-900.webp) ![Hair smoothed straight after the magic straightening treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-02-ur8cv-900.webp) The difference is huge, right? Hahaha, let me start the review by showing before and after photos of the magic straightening treatment! ## Where is Momentium in Manchon-dong, and where do you park? ![Exterior of Momentium, a hair salon in Manchon-dong, Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-03-1jl04-900.webp) Here's the outside of Momentium, a hair salon in Manchon-dong, Daegu. It's a 5-minute walk from Manchon Station, so it's easy to reach by public transit. For parking, you can use the public parking lot nearby on weekdays, and park in front of the shop on weekends. ## Inside the one-person salon and the massage chair shampoo room ![Interior treatment space inside the Momentium one-person shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-04-10uap-900.webp) This is the inside of Momentium. Whenever I visit a salon, I prefer somewhere less crowded where I can get treatment more comfortably. Momentium happens to be run as a one-person shop, so I booked through Naver reservations and visited. Since it's a one-person shop, I'd recommend booking ahead if you want to come at a specific time! ![Snacks and coffee provided before the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-05-1ks43-900.webp) They prepared three small snacks and coffee for me, which I had a quick bite of before the treatment started haha. Sitting for a long time at a salon can sometimes feel longer than expected, so it was nice to have something simple to snack on! ![Massage chair space for neutralizing and shampooing](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-06-1coce-900.webp) ![Massage chair in the Momentium shampoo room](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-07-oo2uo-900.webp) This is the space where neutralizing and shampooing happen. Usually I've gotten shampoos lying in a regular shampoo chair, but here I could get shampooed while getting a massage in a massage chair! ## How the root straightening and cut were done, step by step ![Hair condition before the root magic straightening treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-08-hirtm-900.webp) Here's a before photo~ I decided to get root magic straightening and a cut! ![Hair with the magic straightening solution applied](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-09-1r8u8-m-900.webp) First, the magic straightening solution was applied carefully all over my hair. After applying the solution, they used a machine to apply heat for about 10 minutes. ![Magic straightening treatment during machine heat processing](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-10-11r05-900.webp) ![Hair with the heat processing machine applied](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-11-jd8zj-900.webp) After the machine heat treatment, they used a flat iron to pull each strand of hair straight and shape it. The owner is incredibly thorough haha. ![Flat iron work straightening hair strand by strand](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-12-1warg-900.webp) ![Hair shaped after the flat iron work](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-13-r1hp9-900.webp) After that, I went to get shampooed. Since I'd been sitting for 2 hours and my body was stiff, having my hair washed in the massage chair loosened up my tight shoulders and back — it was the best..❤️🫶🏻 ![Hair after being dried following the shampoo](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-14-abipy-900.webp) ![Straightened hair before the neutralizer application](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-15-1ugnz-900.webp) Once my hair was fully dried, they straightened it again with the flat iron. After straightening, they applied the neutralizer. Doing the neutralizing step lying in the massage chair too meant it wasn't boring at all 👍 ![Neutralizer being applied to the hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-16-1rcl7-1200.webp) ![Back view of the finished hair texture after magic straightening](https://img.superchart.com/images/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening-17-1l7dl-900.webp) ## The result: how straight the curly roots looked afterward Here's the hair after several hours of work! Can you see how the curly hair got smoothed away completely? The owner is so thorough with her hands, working through strand by strand without missing any, which made it even more satisfying!! And another thing — thanks to Momentium's clever massage chairs, even though the treatment took several hours, my body felt much less worn out, which was so nice! The owner told me to make sure to get treatments and take good care of my hair, so I'm thinking I should start caring for it properly from now on. If you're looking for a hair salon in Manchon-dong, Daegu, I recommend the meticulous owner at Momentium! Since it's a one-person shop, you get focused, dedicated care, and booking ahead means there's no waiting around either — that's a big plus. 🫶🏻🫶🏻 ## Where it is - Momentium (모멘티움) - 42 Cheongho-ro 96-gil, 1F, Suseong-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 수성구 청호로96길 42 1층 - 35.857413, 128.6473785 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AA%A8%EB%A9%98%ED%8B%B0%EC%9B%80/@35.857413,128.6473785,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@dongseongno-small-mirror/mancheon-dong-salon-root-magic-straightening/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
