Singeumho men's salon: sensitive-scalp down perm at Toro With Geek

Why my super-straight-haired husband came to Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch

Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch (토로위드긱 신금호점) is a salon near Singeumho Station famous for men's hair. My husband is a famously straight-haired human... His hair is so extremely straight that even when he brings a photo of the style he wants, stylists struggle and he's usually not happy with the result, so finding a salon to settle on is like plucking a star from the sky.. We had to go to Seongsu, so while we were in Seongdong I visited Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch, which is famous for men's hair ‼️

Getting to Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch and parking

Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch is about a 3-minute walk from Singeumho Station, so access was really good, you know? We parked in a nearby public car park. It's not far from the car park either, so it was easy to find 🚗

Climb the stairs to the 2nd floor and you'll see the salon right away. Clomp, clomp, up we go 🚶‍♂️

Atmosphere and waiting area at Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch

Inside, the salon felt clean and pleasant. Everything was tidy, and with the big picture windows it was bright and not stuffy at all. The sofa in the waiting area was very comfortable too, so waiting while my husband had his hair done was easy. The snacks and coffee they gave me were plentiful.. I felt a bit sheepish.

How does the consultation before a down perm work?

At Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch we booked designer Loco (로꼬), and she starts with a consultation before the treatment. It wasn't just a down perm chat: she carefully checked everything from head shape to hair quality and scalp condition, which surprised me. A men's salon checking this thoroughly! She also looked closely at his face shape and how much the sides stick out, so my expectations went up a little, hehe.

Can you get a down perm with seborrheic dermatitis or a sensitive scalp?

Designer Loco spotted my husband's sensitive scalp right away and protected his skin with Vaseline before the treatment. He has seborrheic dermatitis and a very, very sensitive scalp, so we were worried, but seeing her carefully apply Vaseline to protect the skin showed how attentive she is 🥹 She didn't miss even the small details. The perm solution wasn't harsh either, and a week later his scalp is still free of irritation. Yay 〰️

Designer Loco's working style

Loco is really fast with her hands but doesn't give up on detail at all. She explained the style as she went, and even explained how to style it at home in an easy way. She also recommended a good restaurant nearby, and we went to eat there right away.

Straight hair men's down perm: before and after

Men's hair, before

.. Is this for real•••? His sideburns, sides and back are all so straight that the moment it grows a little it looks messy and scruffy. No matter how short it's trimmed, it never looks neat•••

After

Wow… I think Loco has become our lifetime stylist. The lines are neat as if measured with a ruler, and she made even that stubborn straight hair look natural without irritation 🤤 The texture stays alive too, which I liked even more. I get why Toro With Geek is famous for men's hair in Singeumho.

They even gave us a lighter-style business card, so thoughtful••. I really recommend Loco at Toro With Geek for men's hair in Singeumho. I'm honestly jealous of the Singeumho locals right now. Boyfriends have to come here for their hair..

Wow, my husband is really happy for the first time in ages…😭 I always felt something was lacking after salon visits, but this time even my husband was totally satisfied with his hair at Toro With Geek.

The verdict from a couple of salon nomads

At Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch I felt how big the difference in detail is for men's hair. She doesn't just cut; she designs around face shape, head shape and hair quality, so we were far more satisfied with the result ‼️

As a couple who have been salon nomads, five stars isn't enough for our intention to return... If you're looking for a good men's hair salon in Singeumho, you absolutely have to go to Loco at Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch. See you again, Loco, we'll be back!
