# Gray coverage and tassel cut at Stern Hair, a Yeosu hair salon - By Haein (https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-mirror-diary/) - Written Sep 11, 2026 - Local places › Hair & beauty salons › Yeosu, Gwangju - Sponsored: This review was written with support for a visit to the salon. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-mirror-diary/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gwangju-mirror-diary/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/index.md) ## In short Stern Hair & Academy is a hair salon and beauty training institute in Yeosu, Gwangju. During a trip, I got gray coverage and a tassel cut for visible grays and uneven color, and the result matched my natural shade without red tones or heat processing. Stern Hair & Academy nailed the light, short finish too. ## Good to know - **Parking**: Free public parking lot in front of the salon - **Reservation time**: 10:30 AM - **Color processing time**: About 30 minutes *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* Is there anyone who suddenly gets their hair colored because they have free time while traveling? People I’ve seen lately kept telling me how visible my gray hairs were... It was bothering me, so since I had time to spare, I went all in and dyed it. ![Hair with noticeable gray hairs before coloring](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-01-1q8mt-900.webp) But looking at it, there really were a lot ;; When you’re away from home, you don’t really know which hair salon is good, right...? I searched around and found this Yeosu hair salon near me that is also a beauty training institute, so I booked it straight away and went. Apparently, it originally operated in Soho-dong before moving to its current location! ![The relocated Stern Hair Yeosu branch building](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-02-fbwhh-900.webp) ## A spotless Yeosu hair salon in a new building So yes, it was a very new building.. And the inside was totally brand-new too! Stern Hair & Academy seemed like a pretty great choice for anyone looking for a Yeosu hair salon with a tidy interior and clean surroundings~ ![Exterior of Stern Hair with a clean interior design](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-03-1x92c-900.webp) There’s such a large free public parking lot right in front! I had a 10:30 reservation, and there were plenty of open spaces. ![Free public parking lot in front of the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-04-1ukx3-900.webp) They kindly have price information posted outside too, which seemed handy for reference. ![Price information displayed outside the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-05-nhwrq-900.webp) Once inside, there were plaques for all kinds of training centers~ It definitely made the place feel trustworthy. ![Salon interior with beauty training center plaques](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-06-14xic-900.webp) ![Hair salon space with training center plaques](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-07-aurzg-900.webp) Maybe because the weather was so nice that day, sunlight poured into the salon and all the greenery felt so refreshing~ The interior was super clean.. Everything was so new! ## Gray coverage matched to my natural color, without red tones I was getting a trim and color today~ I have a lot of gray hair, and on top of that, I hate reddish tones and I don’t like light hair either... I’m someone who likes my natural hair color best! ![Hair consultation before coloring and cutting](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-08-1v6h8-900.webp) After I said that, they carefully matched my hair color for me~ Taking fading into account and all that, we decided to go with the shade they recommended. ![Hair before coloring with the recommended shade](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-09-1rnvi-900.webp) ![Uneven hair color before gray coverage](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-10-1df7p-900.webp) First, here’s my hair before coloring. I honestly thought I only had lots of gray hairs underneath? I thought they wouldn’t show unless you lifted my hair, but there were little gray hairs sticking out on the surface too.. Sob sob. And my hair color was oddly patchy as well. ![Visible gray hairs and uneven hair color](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-11-1vfh7-800.webp) ![Hair with gray hairs before coloring](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-12-qzvsb-836.webp) ### Fast, thorough application with no heat processing They mixed up the color so quickly, swoosh swoosh. They sprayed on what I think was scalp protectant—it felt cool—and then applied the dye quickly but carefully. This is a very important point! ![Scalp protectant and hair color application process](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-13-1evpu-900.webp) ![Careful color application over gray hairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-14-1g2jv-873.webp) They applied it at the speedy pace Koreans love, but none got on my skin, and it looked like they went over the gray areas a few extra times very carefully. Another thing I loved: no heat processing! My hair is naturally wavy, so I get straightening treatments regularly too, and I really didn’t want it to get any more damaged. Not using heat made me feel like my hair would stay a bit stronger even after coloring? ![Waiting for color to process without heat treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-15-1sxim-899.webp) ![Waiting after gray coverage color application](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-16-1kl3q-900.webp) They said they’d check how the color had developed after about 30 minutes.. In the meantime, I took photos of the special offers~ and had a glass of iced tea~ Yeosu is definitely farther south than Seoul, so it felt a little hot that day; chugging a cold iced tea was sooo refreshing and nice. ![Iced tea during the color processing wait](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-17-160vi-900.webp) After 30 minutes, they checked my hair, and I guess the color had come out well! Straight off to get it washed. ![Preparing to shampoo after coloring](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-18-1ak5v-833.webp) ![Hair washing process after coloring](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-19-ebnsn-685.webp) They dried it beautifully too, hehe. I already love the hair color. ![Hair being dried after coloring, showing the new shade](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-20-vx8ll-900.webp) ![Hair color I loved after blow-drying](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-21-gqpqc-900.webp) ## A light, short tassel cut to finish And so, behold my finished hair.... I did get a cut too, actually. They gave me a tassel cut while trimming it, and they brought out my hair texture so well, right? I told them I preferred hair that was light and short, and they just knew exactly how to cut it the way I like! ![Finished short, light tassel cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-22-oe82s-900.webp) ![Finished gray coverage and tassel cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-23-q02wo-1200.webp) Of course? The color is perfect too. You can see right away that there are no gray hairs sticking out, hehe. Maybe because it’s a training institute... Stern Hair & Academy was a Yeosu hair salon where the stylist’s skill was unmistakable! ![Fringe neatly covered with no visible gray hairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut-24-1gnae-900.webp) They really do hair with such a breezy, satisfying touch. If they were in Seoul, I’d keep going back...^^ Even the fringe area, where I have the most gray hairs, was completely and neatly covered, righttt~~? I love it so much. I’m so excited to see my neat hair for the time being~ All the stylists have that air of true masters.... ## Where it is - Stern Hair & Academy (스턴헤어 &아카데미) - 20 Sicheongseo 4-gil, Yeosu, Gwangju, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 여수시 시청서4길 20 2층 스턴헤어&아카데미 - 34.7579366, 127.6581246 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B4%ED%97%A4%EC%96%B4%20%26%EC%95%84%EC%B9%B4%EB%8D%B0%EB%AF%B8/@34.7579366,127.6581246,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-mirror-diary/yeosu-gray-hair-tassel-cut/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
