Ewha hair salon: volume magic on a frizzy mid-length perm, Unity Hair

A mid-length cut is one of those awkward-length styles that's hard to manage. Get just a little frizzy and the whole look turns messy, which is why I started thinking about volume magic (a Korean heat-and-straightening treatment that keeps volume). So where did I go this time? Unity Hair Ahyeon Station (유니티헤어 아현역점), with designer Nuri!

I got volume magic for mid-length women's hair at Unity Hair Ahyeon Station, and I really loved the natural volume and the calm, soft curl. It's right by Ahyeon Station so it's easy to reach, and the consultation and the treatment were both done carefully, so I could relax the whole time.

What is the atmosphere like at Unity Hair Ahyeon Station?

Unity Hair Ahyeon Station is a clean, bright salon in white tones, and the seats are spaced generously, so even a long treatment like volume magic was comfortable.

Overall the salon felt clean and bright in white tones.

The seats have room between them, so nothing felt stuffy, and I could spend the treatment time comfortably.

The staff were friendly too, so even on my first visit I could have the consultation without any pressure.

Above all, they checked my hair condition carefully first, then explained the style I wanted and how to care for it in detail, which made me trust them. Haha!

How did my frizzy mid-length perm change after volume magic?

After designer Nuri's volume magic at Unity Hair Ahyeon Station, hair that had looked messy from the perm became calm, while the root volume stayed alive. It wasn't a pin-straight magic finish; the ends were styled to turn in naturally.

Before

Before the treatment, the awkward mid-length cut made the perm look even messier.

After

After volume magic, everything looked calmer, yet it kept a natural volume that doesn't lie flat, so styling became much easier.

The roots kept just enough volume so the hair didn't look heavy, and from the middle to the ends it was softly tidied, which made my face shape look neater too.

What I liked most: it doesn't feel straightened flat like magic usually does. It's naturally calm, like someone who just has good hair!

The ends don't drop straight down either; they turn in naturally, so the feminine feel of a mid-length cut really came through.

My hair isn't dry after the treatment either, and it has shine again, so the overall impression is much neater!!

How much easier is mid-length hair to care for after volume magic?

What satisfied me most about the volume magic at Unity Hair Ahyeon Station was, thanks to Nuri's skill, that above all my hair didn't get damaged. And my morning prep time dropped a lot!

Just blow-drying gets the shape in place, and the ends flip out less and frizz much less than with a plain cut (rain doesn't faze it!), so I definitely use my curling iron less.

Even on humid days my hair doesn't get frizzy or puffed up, so it's much easier to manage.

How were designer Nuri's consultation and the treatment time?

The volume magic at Unity Hair Ahyeon Station meant about 2 hours in the salon, and Nuri was careful with the treatment and consultation from start to finish, while the chat was fun and easygoing,

so those 2 hours never felt burdensome or boring, which made me even happier! Since volume magic takes a long time and you stay in the salon that long, the designer matters too, and it wasn't just the finished hair: Nuri's style suited me really well!

Who is volume magic for mid-length hair at Unity Hair Ahyeon Station good for?

• People whose mid-length ends keep flipping out

And look, they even gave me styling instructions, haha. A salon that cares about aftercare too!

I was even happier because the mid-length volume magic at Unity Hair Ahyeon Station isn't over-straightened and still tidies up naturally! It neatly rescues that awkward mid-length, adds volume, and feels much more polished, and the easy styling feels especially rewarding on busy mornings, haha.
