Seokchon-dong hair salon for a 0.5-tone-darker root touch-up: Mad Hair
Mad Hair is a hair salon in Seokchon-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul, tucked into a quiet alley west of Seokchon Lake. Ahead of a trip to Shanghai, the writer had grown-out roots colored at Mad Hair, where Deputy Director Yeonwoo mixed the shade 0.5 tone darker than the existing hair so the color would blend naturally as it grows. The root touch-up finished cleanly with no visible band, and Mad Hair felt like a salon worth settling into.
