It straightened my wavy roots without added volume and evened out my uneven length before my Qingdao trip. Verdict: a comfortable choice for polished travel-ready hair. ## Good to know - **Parking**: Parking is available down to B3 of the commercial building, with relatively spacious bays and aisles. - **Styling stations**: The treatment stations are spaced relatively far apart. *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## Why I went for root straightening before my trip ![Featured photo of root straightening and a cut in Geomdan New Town](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-01-pgn7v-966.webp) With a trip to Qingdao coming up, I went for root straightening for the first time in a while because I wanted nice photos. I was short on time with all the trip prep, so I went to Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch, where parking is easy. ![Hairstyle after root straightening before a trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-02-1v760-966.webp) I’ve also been keeping up with root coloring lately, so I was worried the straightening might not take well, but it came out better than I expected. I loved the styling too—this is the kind of straightening that will have me taking lots of photos in Qingdao! ## What were the parking lot and salon atmosphere like? ![Parking information for a Geomdan New Town hair salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-03-epyb-966.webp) Parking is tough at the commercial buildings in Geomdan New Town, but Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch has plenty of room. Parking in Ara-dong can be stressful, so I tend to look for places with easy parking. The parking area goes down to B3 in the building, and both the spaces and aisles are quite roomy. Even beginner drivers shouldn’t find parking difficult! ![White-toned hair salon interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-04-13rkt-966.webp) The interior is fairly spacious in white tones, so I loved that it didn’t feel cramped. The overall tone-on-tone look even had a luxurious feel, which was totally my style. ![Tone-on-tone hair salon interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-05-11es1-966.webp) ![Hair salon interior with spacious treatment stations](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-06-1gi5a-966.webp) I especially liked how widely spaced the treatment stations were. When you’re in the chair for a long perm, having the chairs too close together somehow feels a little uncomfortable. ![Hair salon treatment stations arranged with space between them](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-07-1v7dz-966.webp) I took this so you could see the distance between me and the person beside me while I was actually getting my treatment. It definitely feels nicely far apart, right? Haha. ## Root straightening and a cut tailored to my wavy hair and head shape ![Wavy hair before root straightening](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-08-13hwh-966.webp) My sadly shaped head: very wavy hair, thick strands, and a rather square-looking crown. I was looked after by Designer Gawon, who immediately noticed that because the sides of my head stick out a little, my hair starts to look square as the roots grow out. ![Head shape with prominent sides and grown-out roots](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-09-1w2h5-966.webp) ![Hair before treatment with frizzy bangs](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-10-1pm92-966.webp) Even at a glance, my hair looked puffed up, and with so much wavy growth, my bangs looked frizzy too. I hadn’t originally planned on getting a cut, but one side had grown longer than the other. I trusted Designer Gawon and got the cut, and seeing the result, I’m so glad I did—it looks polished! Be sure to look at my finished hair at the end. :) ![Root straightening and haircut process](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-11-1io0f-966.webp) ![Root straightening and haircut process](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-12-j237x-966.webp) After applying the solution quickly, they brought me tea and snacks while my hair was under heat. I drank mine quickly, and kind Gawon even asked if I’d like another cup! ![Tea and snacks served during heat processing](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-13-q8kj6-966.webp) For the first shampoo, the shampoo room felt luxurious and the chair was especially comfortable, so my neck didn’t hurt. Designer Gawon is really great at shampooing too, and for me with an oily scalp, it felt so refreshing! ![Shampoo room with a comfortable chair](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-14-1fx8i-966.webp) ![Hair during root straightening treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-15-1goxq-966.webp) Root straightening isn’t all the same, because everyone’s head shape is different. Since the sides of my head stick out, I prefer it smoothed completely straight without volume. They paid really close attention and straightened it beautifully, and they were especially quick with their hands, so it didn’t take a long time. ## The styling change after finishing the cut ![Back view after root straightening and a cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-16-o5tzn-966.webp) Here’s my hair after the cut and root straightening: the length is even, and the back looks polished. What really made me feel I was right to get the cut was the treatment of the ends. Since I have thick hair, I was very satisfied that the ends were finished so softly. ![Haircut result with an even length](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-17-uu0ka-966.webp) ![Softly finished hair ends](https://img.superchart.com/images/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/geomdan-root-magic-haircut-18-139op-966.webp) If you look at my old roots, you can see how bent they were, and my very wavy hair had a frizzy look as well. They said they use Shiseido shampoo and treatment as standard because they care about damage. Even without a basic hair clinic treatment, I loved that my hair felt softer than before. If you need styling before a trip like I did, make a reservation and visit in advance. Especially if you have very wavy hair, try Lee Kyung Min Foret, a Geomdan New Town hair salon that does root straightening well. ## Where it is - Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch (이경민포레 검단신도시점) - 304–305-ho, 377 Ieum 1-ro, Geomdan-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 검단구 이음1로 377 304, 305호 - 37.594336, 126.7171334 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EA%B2%BD%EB%AF%BC%ED%8F%AC%EB%A0%88%20%EA%B2%80%EB%8B%A8%EC%8B%A0%EB%8F%84%EC%8B%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.594336,126.7171334,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-spoonfuls/geomdan-root-magic-haircut/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
