Nowon hair salon wedding down perm for a flat back of head: Yeum Hair

I started prepping my husband for my dear younger sibling's wedding. He did a very short-term diet with running and meal control, and for his hair we went to see Director Geuraedaero at this Nowon hair salon.

Where is Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch, and what are its hours?

Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch is at 447 Nohae-ro, 2nd floor, Unit 201, Nowon-gu, Seoul. Hours are 10:00–21:00, closed every Monday, open until 19:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays, and until 20:00 on Saturdays and Sundays.

Since this Nowon hair salon has limited parking, I parked at the Nowon District Office parking lot instead. The men's perm took about 2 hours, so using the public lot wasn't a burden at all.

I came to Yeum Hair specifically for Director Geuraedaero, who specializes in men's hair. The salon is on the 2nd floor of the building, but there's an elevator, so even pregnant visitors would find it easy to get to.

Inside the salon: a second-floor window view during the perm

Being on the 2nd floor, this Nowon hair salon has a great view. I love people-watching, so I never got bored while he was getting his perm done. The sunset was especially pretty around that time of day. The open, unobstructed feel also made the interior seem much bigger.

Thin hair and a flat back of head: consultation and cut at Yeum Hair

Before the perm consultation, Yeum Hair checked his hair condition with a light shampoo. We talked about the flat shape of his back head and brought along a few photos of styles he'd liked before. No matter how many cool celebrity photos you look at, I think it matters more to find the style that actually suited him before.

His hair is thin and lacks body, and his back head is flat, so they paid special attention to that. At Yeum Hair, Director Geuraedaero did the cut first before the perm. I think a good perm really starts with a good cut.

While waiting in the waiting area, they also brought us some tea, so we could sit back comfortably.

How the men's down perm works: rods, heat treatment, then pressing down

After the cut, they rolled the rods carefully considering the scalp shape and hair direction. With heat treatment and processing time, the men's perm at this Nowon hair salon got underway.

Are his legs short or something..?

They set the curl first with rods and heat treatment, then did the down perm. His scalp is on the sensitive side but his hair is very strongly straight, so they were extra careful.

They checked whether the men's perm curls turned out well, then went ahead with the neutralizer. Looking at other men's perm reviews, the scalp usually doesn't show much — so why does my husband's look so sparse, I wondered.

Down perm results: no visible scalp and hair that looks thicker

Thanks to Director Geuraedaero's touch at this Nowon hair salon, the curls made his hair look much thicker than it actually is. The sides and back were pressed down so they didn't look hollow underneath, which I liked even more. A badly done down perm can leave the scalp looking white and unsightly, but this men's perm at Yeum Hair was very satisfying.

To finish the men's perm, they trimmed off the stray hairs sticking out and showed us a simple way to blow-dry it at home, so he's been keeping it neat every day since.

I entered the Yeum Hair event but total failure there haha. The protein shampoo they gave us had a generous amount per packet, enough to last about a week. Good protein care after a men's perm really helps it last longer, so I was extra grateful they thought of that.

Thanks to meeting Director Geuraedaero at this Nowon hair salon, we made it through the wedding and a date at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art with a neat, clean look — total success. If you're wondering where to get a men's perm, I highly recommend Director Geuraedaero at Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch!
