Cheonan hair salon: men's volume magic and Guile perm at CHOP Hair

Why my boyfriend and I chose CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch

In this CHOP Hair Sinbu-dong review, I didn't get my own hair done. I went along to get my boyfriend's hair done. He already takes good care of his hair, but as soon as it grows out a little, the sides stick out and everything looks bulky, so this time we decided to tidy it up properly.

With guys, I feel like fixing just the side hair that sticks out completely changes their whole look. So instead of a simple cut, we decided to do volume magic (a straightening perm) plus a down perm (a perm that presses the hair flat) as well.

Which men's treatments did he get at CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch?

My boyfriend got these three treatments at CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch.

• ✅ Volume magic
• ✅ Down perm
• ✅ Gail perm-style shaping

He wanted the front to flow a little and the sides pressed down neatly. The owner-stylist looked at his hair type and everyday style and set it in a direction that suits him naturally.

How long the treatment took and what the salon is like

What I noticed while watching: the owner's hands are really fast! Long salon sessions can be tiring, but he worked quickly while still checking everything carefully. He also cracked witty jokes here and there and kept the mood relaxed, so my boyfriend didn't get bored :)

The salon is soooo clean too ⭐️

In what order were the down perm and volume magic done?

At CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch, they first applied the solution and did the down perm, then moved on to the volume magic.

It looks so frizzzzy just from the photo, right?? 🫢🫢 Apparently volume magic is harder on men's hair, because growing-out hair and straightened hair end up looking similar! But for wavy hair it's a must.. ㅠㅠ

The hair gets pulled mercilessly.. but you could see it getting calmer and shinier! So what's the result? Ta-da-da-daaa!

Ta-da..🫢🫢 And this is before it's even dried. Amazing, right?

How did the down perm turn out on men's wavy hair?

The part my boyfriend liked most among his treatments at CHOP Hair Cheonan Branch was the down perm. His side hair always sticks out, and even when he blow-dried it in the morning it often popped back up later. This time the side line stayed calm and looked much neater.

He liked the volume magic too, because it wasn't stick-straight but naturally tidy. With men's hair, what matters is easy, natural styling rather than looking overdone, and this style was exactly that.

With the bangs set in direction by the gail perm, his face shape looks sharper and the whole vibe is much neater! Just changing the hair made him look put together, haha

The god-tier owner even explained how to style it in detail..👏🏻👏🏻

I can't believe my boyfriend can have hair like this too!

Finishing touches with Ayunchae products

I heard CHOP Hair uses Ayunchae hair products. They applied some to finish after the treatment, and I liked that the scent was subtle and the hair felt smoothly settled.

Looking for a men's hair salon in Sinbu-dong, Cheonan?

He liked his hair so much that we went straight off to take photos, lol 🫢👏🏻 These days a guy's vibe changes a lot depending on his hairstyle. For anyone after a neat office look or a date-ready style, I think the volume magic + down perm + gail perm combo is a good option.

If you've been searching for a place that does men's hair well around Sinbu-dong, I'd recommend this Sinbu-dong salon, CHOP Hair: great location and an easy, comfortable consultation :) My boyfriend was very satisfied afterward, so we plan to come back next time he needs a tidy-up! (He was genuinely satisfied, really??...) haha
