Cheongdam hair salon steam scalp scaling and tassel-cut bob: Beorn

Why I got scalp scaling and a cut at Beorn Hair in Cheongdam

This time at Beorn Hair Cheongdam (비오른헤어 청담점), I got scalp scaling and a cut. With the hot weather dragging on, my scalp felt stuffy and my hair felt dry and rough. I keep my hair short and dye it regularly, and since it's slightly wavy I also get straightening ("magic") treatments and clinics all the time, so it felt like product had built up on my hair and scalp. I wanted to take proper care of my scalp health this time, so I visited this Cheongdam hair salon. A good cut matters a lot to me too, so I had the cut done along with the scalp scaling.

What is the atmosphere like at Beorn Hair Cheongdam?

The inside of Beorn Hair Cheongdam is bright and spacious, with plenty of room around the styling stations. The atmosphere was what impressed me most on my first visit. Every corner has stylish interior design, so I could get my hair done comfortably in a fresh, lively setting. It felt just like what you'd expect from a Cheongdam hair salon that so many people visit.

What did they recommend in the consultation?

Today's care: scaling + cut. The consultation at Beorn Hair Cheongdam was very satisfying too. They don't push expensive treatments no matter what; they carefully check the current state of your hair and scalp, then sincerely recommend only what you need. They also took into account that my scalp is sensitive from repeated dyeing and straightening on short hair, and chose low-irritation products for me.

While I waited for the treatment, they prepared tea and snacks. I could wait comfortably with a cold drink in the sweltering heat, and I liked that thoughtful touch. You can feel them looking after customers even in the small details, so the time passed pleasantly.

What are the steps of the scalp scaling?

About 10 minutes of steam to loosen the scalp

Before the actual scaling, Beorn Hair Cheongdam steamed my scalp for about 10 minutes to soften it thoroughly. Thanks to this step, the buildup on my scalp loosened gently, and the care that followed felt more effective.

Gentle scaling with no irritation

The scaling was thorough and free of irritation, and they took careful care of every corner of my scalp.

Scalp, neck and shoulder massage

During the care, they used a massage device to loosen not just my scalp but also my neck and shoulders. It felt like a head spa: the tension melted away and so did the fatigue. It wasn't only scalp care but a time when my whole body relaxed, which made me even happier with it.

Two-step shampoo and a hair pack

After that, they did the first shampoo with a rich, foamy product, then moved me to the shampoo room for a second shampoo, using water pressure to wash out the deep buildup on my scalp once more. Finally they carefully applied a pack that's good for hair, so my scalp felt refreshed and my hair felt noticeably softer.

Bob tassel cut: before and after

⬆️ Before. After the scalp care, I had my cut at Beorn Hair Cheongdam. A bob loses its whole shape if it grows out even a little, and for a face shape like mine that needs side volume, the stylist's cutting skill really matters. This time they trimmed it into the trendy tassel cut style without cutting much length.

⬆️ After. They designed the tassel cut around my face shape and hair type, so it's much easier to style and the volume came out naturally. They also cut my bangs to a moderate length, not too short, which gave me a much younger look.

Talking about my next style with the Beorn Hair Cheongdam stylist

The stylist's cutting skill was so good that I also got to ask about the layered cut I've been curious about. I thought I'd like to try a layered cut next time the season changes. They also do lots of men's cuts as well as women's, so it seemed like a good place to visit with family or a boyfriend.

Verdict: if you want scalp care and a cut in one visit

Overall, from the scalp scaling to the cut, my visit to Beorn Hair Cheongdam was satisfying all the way through. Above all, the biggest strength was that they carefully check each customer's hair condition and recommend care to match. If you want to look after your scalp health or are looking for a place with good cutting skill, I think it's well worth recommending to anyone searching for a hair salon near Gangnam-gu Office Station. It's easy to reach, and every step of the care was thorough, so I'd like to go back.

If you're weighing scalp care and a style change together, I think it would be a highly satisfying choice for people looking for a Gangnam hair salon. I especially recommend it if you want scalp scaling, head spa-style care and a cut all in one go.
