Seongdong hair salon ash brown root dye and clinic: Urban Ground Hair

Since my hair is dyed, the roots slowly start showing as time goes by, so I went to the salon. On top of that, frequent dyeing and using a hair dryer a lot lately have made my hair a lot drier and rougher than before. Just doing the root touch-up and calling it a day felt like it wouldn't be enough given the state of my hair, so this time I decided to get a clinic treatment along with the root touch-up.

This time I visited Urban Ground Hair Sangwangsimni Station Branch. It's close to Sangwangsimni Station, so it was a really convenient place to get to by public transport.

Where is Urban Ground Hair Sangwangsimni Station Branch?

Urban Ground Hair Sangwangsimni Station Branch is located near Sangwangsimni Station. It's close to exit 4, so it wasn't hard to find, and the shop is on the 2nd floor of the building. If you've been looking for a hair salon around Wangsimni, this is a convenient location for anyone searching for a Sangwangsimni hair salon with good access.

Walking into the shop, I saw customers coming and going more than I expected. Watching the steady stream of guests while I got my dye done made me think this must be a place with a loyal, regular clientele.

Step 1. The ash brown root dye

The first thing on the menu was the root touch-up. It had been two or three months since my last dye job, so the roots had grown out. Personally, I think doing a root touch-up before it gets too far along looks a lot cleaner. If you let it grow too much, the line between the new and old hair gets more noticeable, so I try to time my root touch-ups as best I can.

My designer for the day was Haesu. Before starting, she checked my current hair condition and the color I wanted, then focused the dye on my roots. I don't like hair with red tones, so I asked her to pull it as far toward ash brown as possible.

Step 2. Adding a hair clinic after the root dye

After finishing the root touch-up, I got the clinic treatment, which was the other reason for this visit. Honestly, the biggest reason I decided to get the clinic done at the same time was the state of my hair. Between the frequent dyeing and using a hair dryer often, my hair overall felt rough and dry. Keeping the roots looking neat matters, but I felt like having smooth, well-managed hair on top of that would give a much cleaner overall impression, so I decided to get the clinic along with the root touch-up this time.

The clinic wasn't done at a regular shampoo station — it was done in a spa room inside the shop. This space turned out to be more to my liking than I expected, since there was a massage chair inside the spa room, so I could relax comfortably while getting the hair clinic.

When you get hair services done at a salon, you inevitably have to sit for a long time, and treatments like dyeing or a clinic that take a while can honestly leave your backside a bit sore. But sitting in the massage chair, it didn't feel like I was just getting my hair taken care of — it felt like I got a proper little rest in, which I really liked.

Root dye plus clinic: how the hair turned out

Treatment done. The messy roots were tidied up neatly, and my hair was much smoother than when I've just had it dyed alone. The feel when I touched it with my hand was completely different, haha.

If you dye your hair often or your hair tends to dry out easily from using a hair dryer, I'd really recommend getting a clinic treatment scheduled around your root touch-up like I did.

If it's time for a root touch-up and you're looking for a Sangwangsimni hair salon, or if you want to manage dry hair along with your dye job, I think it's worth consulting with designer Haesu at Urban Ground Hair Sangwangsimni Station Branch.
