Postpartum gray coverage beige brown at Cheonho Station hair salon

The weather's been so nice lately that I got the urge to change up my hair color. Honestly, grays had started sneaking back in a while ago, but between one thing and another I completely missed my root-touch-up window. So I figured, why not just go all in with a full color instead — while searching for a hair salon near Cheonho Station, I found Juno Hair Cheonho Rodeo Branch and got the service done with senior stylist Chaerim.

From dark brown to a brighter beige brown

The color I picked at Juno Hair Cheonho Rodeo Branch was beige brown. My natural hair is on the darker side, so even the last time I dyed it, I'd played it safe with a plain dark brown that matched my base color. But this time, since I had to do a full color anyway because of the grays, and the weather was so nice I wanted a mood change, I decided to go a shade or two brighter than usual. During the consultation she recommended beige brown, picked to suit my skin tone without any red undertones, so I trusted her and went for it.

My hair got pretty thin after giving birth... ㅠㅠ

Why Juno Hair used a gray-coverage dye

Instead of regular dye, she used a separate gray-coverage formula, and it really did cover the grays well while still bringing out a clean, non-muddy beige brown tone. Damage is usually my biggest worry with coloring, but when I touched my hair afterward it felt soft, without that harsh damaged feel — that was a satisfying point too. Though seriously, why do you always end up looking so rough mid-service at the salon... haha

Scalp protector and mid-color checks

Before coloring, she carefully applied a scalp protector so the dye never touched or smudged onto my skin. Throughout the service she kept checking in to make sure my scalp wasn't stinging or uncomfortable, which let me relax through the whole thing. That kind of attentive care is what made the entire visit feel comfortable from start to finish.

The window-side waiting area at Juno Hair Cheonho Rodeo

The waiting area where I sat before my service had a cozy vibe. I got to sit at a window-side table enjoying a warm drink and snacks while I waited, and the salon's interior had such a relaxed feel that the wait didn't drag at all.

Inside the shampoo room and the two-floor salon

The shampoo area was also privately separated, so I could relax during the hair care part too. Overall the salon was decorated in a clean, polished tone that kept me in a good mood the whole time I was there.

How the finished beige brown color turned out

When the color was done and I checked in the mirror, I was really happy with it. It's a naturally brightened beige brown with no red undertones, so my complexion looked more radiant, and best of all, the grays were cleanly covered so I can go a while without worrying about my roots.
