Dapsimni hair salon in Seoul: face-shape perm for mom at Onzon Hair

Why I booked a face-shape consultation perm for my mom at Onzon Hair Dapsimni

I wanted to change up my mom's hairstyle, so we visited Onzon Hair Dapsimni (온즈온헤어 답십리점) in Dapsimni! My mom cares a lot about her hair, but it's hard to decide on your own which style will actually suit you, right?

A perm especially has to be kept for a while once you get it, so I thought it was important to find a style that suits her face shape and overall vibe instead of blindly following trends. That's why we decided to try a face-shape consultation perm, where the stylist advises on a hairstyle based on your face shape.

What is the atmosphere like at Onzon Hair Dapsimni?

Onzon Hair Dapsimni is a clean, comfortable hair salon overall. When we arrived, we headed inside.

It was a calm space for a consultation and treatment. Salon visits can run long, so being able to stay comfortably matters to me, and this was just right.

The interior design is really modern and clean, too. It hasn't been open long, so it was spotless.

This is the team of hair designers, and this time we were treated by one of them.

It's really tidy inside!

There were already lots of customers getting their hair done inside.

Even the seats are just so pretty!

Onzon Hair's menu and VIP membership

Onzon Hair Dapsimni has a treatment menu as well as a VIP membership.

The VIP membership looks like a much better deal!! If you plan to visit often, it's worth considering.

How does the face-shape consultation perm start?

The face-shape consultation perm at Onzon Hair starts with sitting down for a talk about your face shape and your usual hairstyle. This consultation was the part I was looking forward to most on this visit!

Face shape, features, head shape and hair type are different for everyone, so even the same perm suits people differently, right? The stylist advised on what would suit my mom, considering her face shape and overall look.

During the consultation they also set out light refreshments and coffee like this. Taking into account which styles she prefers and how often she styles her hair makes for a much more satisfying result. I liked that they didn't just push a trendy style but shaped the look in a direction that suits my mom.

The perm process

After the consultation, the perm finally began! First they checked the condition of her hair, then worked toward the style we'd decided on. This is my mom's hair before we started!

With a perm, even a slight change in curl thickness, direction or volume changes the whole impression, so delicate work matters. And the older we get, the more a hairstyle changes how we look, right?

This is the shampoo area, and it's really clean, isn't it!!

I was looking forward to watching them bring out volume where it was needed and finish in a style that harmonizes with her face shape. They were careful throughout, so my mom was comfortable. It would also help to learn how to style it afterward, so she can keep the look at home.

My mom's finished perm: was she happy with it?

After the face-shape consultation perm at Onzon Hair, my mom liked the finished style. When everything was done, it was time to see the result! Seeing how different her hair looked from before made me happy too, haha.

The finished hair at last!!! It came out so neat and pretty, haha. Changing just the hairstyle really does change the whole vibe.

Since the perm was planned around her face shape, I liked that overall harmony was considered rather than just adding curls. My mom liked the result, which made me even prouder. Above all, this visit was satisfying because she found a style that really suits her.

A pretty result at the salon matters, but you also need to be able to style it easily at home. To wrap up, it's worth learning how she usually blow-dries and how to bring out the curls!
