# See-through shadow perm + down perm in Gwanggyo, Suwon: Yuwolae - By Junha (https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-cotton-case-2/) - Written Sep 7, 2026 - Local places › Hair & beauty salons › Suwon, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This is a review after receiving the service from the salon free of charge. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-cotton-case-2/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gyeonggi-cotton-case-2/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/index.md) ## In short Yuwolae Mijangwon Suwon Gwanggyo Branch is a men's perm salon on the 8th floor of SK View Lake Tower A near Gwanggyo Central Station in Suwon, Gyeonggi. Visiting with two months of grown-out hair, the writer went through a cut, a see-through shadow perm, and a down perm on the sides and back in about an hour, with no stinging or itching even after the heat treatment. The volume held up on top while the sides and back calmed down, making styling much easier — a full recommendation. ## Good to know - **Address**: 25 Beopjo-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, SK View Lake Tower Building A, 8th floor, South Korea (lot number: Hadong 1016-1) - **Hours**: Daily 10:00 - 20:00 - **Service received**: Cut + see-through shadow perm + side/back down perm - **Time taken**: About 1 hour - **Reservation**: Visited Friday 1pm — very crowded, reservation recommended - **Other**: VIP prepaid membership plans available at the counter *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Introduction photo of Yuwolae Mijangwon Suwon Gwanggyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-01-9yqbd-m-1200.webp) Today I'm introducing a place famous for great men's perms in Gwanggyo: "Yuwolae Mijangwon." ## Location and hours Address Road name: 25 Beopjo-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, SK View Lake Tower Building A, 8th floor Lot number: Hadong 1016-1, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do Hours Daily 10:00 - 20:00 It had been almost two months since my last haircut, so I decided to visit a salon~ Actually I don't stick to one fixed salon — I tend to book same-day appointments wherever, depending on the day~ The Gwanggyo salon I visited today was located in SK View Lake Town!! The commercial facilities and the apartment complex are in separate spaces, so make sure you check carefully so you don't get confused!! ![Interior of the salon on the 8th floor of SK View Lake Tower](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-02-1n9v0-966.webp) ## Make sure you book ahead I visited on a Friday at 1pm and it was packed!! I had booked ahead too, but I really recommend making a reservation if you're planning to visit! ![Salon seat before the service began](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-03-l0oj1-966.webp) ## Choosing the see-through shadow perm + side/back down perm The service I got today was the see-through shadow perm, which a lot of guys prefer!! Honestly I'd been growing my hair out because I wanted a leaf-cut kind of look, so I got a shadow perm plus a down perm on the sides and back!! ![Two-month grown-out hair before the cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-04-1pqk6-966.webp) Manager Somi handled the service, and before starting she recommended a style that would suit me well and eased the awkward atmosphere with a bit of small talk haha. She went in order: cut → shadow perm → down perm~ ![Rods being wound for the shadow perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-05-1su92-966.webp) ![Winding in progress for the men's shadow perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-06-gfi9v-966.webp) She knew exactly where to add texture and where to flatten it down — total professional, right?! Men's hair is all about the details, and she clearly knew all the key points. You could really tell it came from tons of experience, haha. There's a reason this place is famous~ ![Winding finished after the down perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-07-6ntxb-966.webp) ![Side view of hair with perm solution applied](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-08-1yk5h-966.webp) Sitting under the heat machine with my hair looking like this was kind of funny lol ![Sitting under the heat treatment machine](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-09-1m310-966.webp) ![Waiting area for heat treatment inside the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-10-1849s-966.webp) ## Waiting area and interior While getting my hair done I looked around the salon, and the interior really stood out! The waiting area was so cozy it felt almost like a fancy café haha. And there was a terrace too, though I couldn't get it in a photo — made the whole place feel really pleasant~ ![Waiting area with a dog inside the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-11-1leyi-m-956.webp) There was a dog around too, so I guess pets are allowed in?~ You should ask the salon directly about that haha. Just my speculation....lol Anyway, once all that was done the heat treatment finished, so I moved over for a shampoo!!! Even after finishing the heat process, my scalp had no itchy or stinging feeling at all!! ![Interior of the retro-style shampoo room](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-12-1xt1v-966.webp) The shampoo room had a clean, retro kind of vibe~ I was so eager to get my hair washed and see the final result~ ![Lying at the shampoo bowl after neutralizer application](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-13-1yqg8-966.webp) They applied the neutralizer(?) and told me to lie back for a bit, so I took a shot with my eyes covered lol. They let it neutralize for about 2-3 minutes before shampooing~ haha, drumroll please ## The result after about an hour About an hour after starting the treatment, my hair was fully dried and the result was in!! ![Finished see-through shadow perm, front view](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-14-1yzzl-m-966.webp) ![Finished shadow perm style, side view](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-15-5mnck-966.webp) ![Side and back calmed down by the down perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-16-pveyd-966.webp) I was completely satisfied!!! Like, extremely~~~~~~~~ satisfied~~ My girlfriend said it looked pretty too. It was exactly the shadow perm style I wanted, and with the down perm on the back and sides my hair felt so much calmer and easier to style~!!! Manager Somi, who gave me this beautiful hair... thank you so much!! ![Salon counter with VIP prepaid package information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-17-paxgc-966.webp) ## They also have VIP prepaid packages Right before paying I noticed the counter had VIP prepaid membership plans too!! If you've settled on one salon you go to regularly, I think a prepaid package could be really useful haha. ![Before and after comparison of the men's perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-18-15ma9-966.webp) ![Before and after volume comparison of the perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon-19-147pt-966.webp) I compared the before and after too, and yeah, the perm definitely added volume and looks great haha. If you live near Gwanggyo in Suwon, I really recommend "Yuwolae Mijangwon" for great men's perms — especially Manager Somi!! ## Where it is - Yuwolae Mijangwon Suwon Gwanggyo Branch (유월애미장원 수원광교점) - 25 Beopjo-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, SK View Lake Tower Building A, 8th floor, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 영통구 법조로 25 SK뷰레이크타워 A 업무동 8층 - 37.2877009, 127.0599411 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A0%EC%9B%94%EC%95%A0%EB%AF%B8%EC%9E%A5%EC%9B%90%20%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90%EA%B4%91%EA%B5%90%EC%A0%90/@37.2877009,127.0599411,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-cotton-case-2/gwanggyo-mens-see-through-shadow-perm-salon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
