# Top-only straightening for curly hair at Yangju salon Hair Design Whur - By Yerin Gong (https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-si-vanity-cart/) - Written Sep 17, 2026 - Local places › Hair & beauty salons › Yangju, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-si-vanity-cart/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gwangju-si-vanity-cart/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/index.md) ## In short Hair Design Whur Ok-jeong Branch is a small hair salon run by two designers on the 3rd floor at 177 Okjeong-dong-ro in Okjeong-dong, Yangju, Gyeonggi. Arriving with curly hair that still held a C-curl perm, the writer had a consultation and then magic straightening on the top section only plus a clinic treatment, all finished in two and a half hours. The length was left untouched and only bulk and texture were tidied up, leaving hair calm enough to go out without a hat. ## Good to know - **Address**: 3rd floor, 177 Okjeong-dong-ro, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do (Hair Design Whur Ok-jeong Branch) - **Hours**: 10:00 – 20:00 - **Closed**: 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month - **Parking**: Basement parking in the building (tight; the public lot next door is a better bet) - **Service**: Top-section magic straightening + clinic treatment, 2.5 hours including neutralizing - **Membership**: Prepay 300,000 / 500,000 / 1,000,000 won for bonus credit; cash payment earns more - **Event**: 20% off for first-time customers (pay with Naver Pay + write a review) - **Price reference**: ₩300,000 ≈ $217 · ₩500,000 ≈ $362 · ₩1,000,000 ≈ $724 (2026-09-18) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* I'm a pro-curly-haired person who needs magic straightening on a regular cycle, but this time I couldn't make it to the salon when I was due, so I just... let it go. It got hot out and my curls went absolutely wild, so the moment I could get to a salon, straightening was priority one. I searched frantically for a good hair salon in Ok-jeong-dong and found Hair Design Whur Ok-jeong Branch! Here's my real magic straightening review. ## Where is Hair Design Whur Ok-jeong Branch, and where do you park? - Address: 177 Ok-jeong-dong-ro, 3rd floor, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - Hours: 10:00 – 20:00, closed 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month - Parking: Building basement parking available (narrow, so I'd recommend the public parking lot right next door) ![Exterior of the building housing Hair Design Whur Ok-jeong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-01-1vz4t-900.webp) Hair Design Whur Ok-jeong Branch is on the 3rd floor of a building with Gorae Pharmacy and Seolmaek on the 1st floor — from outside, there's a huge Lee Sedol Baduk (Go) Academy sign on the 2nd floor, so it's not hard to find. ![Entrance area of the 3rd-floor salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-02-15ykj-900.webp) ![Large mirror inside Hair Design Whur Ok-jeong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-03-1so55-900.webp) ![Café-like atmosphere inside the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-04-k5ye6-900.webp) ![Private-feeling seating layout](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-05-sw9ty-900.webp) ## Inside the Yangju salon: a big mirror and an Okjeong Lake Park view Walking in, the huge mirror catches your eye right away! It's genuinely enormous. The place has a bit of a café vibe too — a quiet, small salon with just two designers working. I liked how the seating layout felt kind of private! ![Styling seat and mirror](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-06-12mpr-900.webp) Through one window you can see Ok-jeong Lake Park — lush green trees, blue sky, just beautiful. This place is a view hotspot! ![Green view of Ok-jeong Lake Park through the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-07-1kdw2-900.webp) There's a spot to hang up your coat, and right next to it is the shampoo room. ![Coat storage area next to the passage to the shampoo room](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-08-geuef-900.webp) ## Membership prices and the consultation: how only the top gets straightened Recommended hair salon in Ok-jeong-dong, Hair Design Whur, has a membership program. Prepay ₩300,000, ₩500,000, or ₩1,000,000 and you get bonus credit added on to use later — seems like a great deal. You get even more bonus if you pay in cash 🐶🍯 I sat down with Designer Haneul and we started with a consultation first. My hair was way too frizzy and puffy, so I was torn between volume magic straightening and magic setting, and I mentioned I was planning to grow my hair out. After looking at my hair and hearing me out, she said since I was growing it out and still had a lot of the C-curl perm left, straightening just the top section would probably work great. Ohh, there was a method like this haha. Less damage to the hair, top section straight, bottom section keeping the C-curl! Exactly what I wanted. Reading it back it sounds like the consultation was quick, but it actually took a really long time and was super thorough. So glad she consulted so carefully 👍🏻 ![Getting ready for treatment after the consultation](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-09-15ngm-900.webp) ![Curly hair before magic straightening](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-10-zrhuk-900.webp) ## The straightening and clinic treatment, step by step in 2.5 hours My hair was so dry that we decided to add a clinic treatment too — shampoo first, then the clinic treatment started right away! ![Clinic treatment after shampoo](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-11-1h0yx-900.webp) I munched on some snacks too 🐷🐷 ![Snacks provided during the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-12-1lpae-854.webp) Since I wanted my bangs as a side bang, she rolled them separately. (Before starting, she trimmed just the bangs first.) ![Bangs rolled separately for a side bang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-13-16mh1-900.webp) With the green view in front of me, my hair got straightened diligently — including neutralization, it took about two and a half hours and the magic straightening was finally done! It took a bit longer since the clinic treatment was worked in between steps. ![Calmer hair after top-section magic straightening](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-14-fj467-1200.webp) ## The result: no length cut, just bulk and texture tidied up The clean straightening and C-curl perm combo I wanted!! So happy about this. After the neutralization, she didn't cut my length at all at the end, just thinned it out and cleaned up the texture — but it turned into a totally different head of hair!! I need to grow my hair, so I'm thrilled the length didn't get shorter! I'd been so stressed about my hair that I was wearing hats nonstop, but now I don't have to anymore, so happy 💛 ![Straightened top with C-curl kept at the bottom](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-15-13rmp-841.webp) Snapped a photo on the way home, so excited! My hair is so calm now, love it so much. ![Hair photographed on the way home after the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight/hair-design-hoor-okjeong-partial-magic-straight-16-vbfxm-m-900.webp) Designer Haneul, who consulted so carefully and gave me exactly the hair I wanted, is the best, seriously 👍🏻👍🏻 There's also a 20% off first-visit event running (pay with Naver Pay + write a review), so I really recommend booking with Designer Haneul!! A hair salon in Ok-jeong-dong I really want to recommend, Hair Design Whur — good café-like atmosphere and my hair turned out exactly how I wanted, so I'm 200000% coming back.
