Gwangju Cheomdan hair salon magic setting for frizzy back hair: Eomaek

In short

Eomaek Hair Project Cheomdan Branch is a hair salon on the 3rd floor of a building in Cheomdan, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju. The writer was torn about getting volume magic, but on the designer's advice chose a magic setting instead: straightening on the top section and a C-curl perm on the lower section, which also smoothed out frizzy back hair. For anyone who wants sleek, calm hair and a natural C-curl together, the magic setting at Eomaek Hair Project Cheomdan Branch proved a satisfying choice.

What is the magic setting I got at Eomaek Hair Project Cheomdan Branch?

The magic setting at Eomaek Hair Project Cheomdan Branch (어맥헤어프로젝트 첨단점) straightens the upper part of your hair with magic straightening and adds a natural curl to the lower part with a C-curl perm. When your hair gets frizzy or just won't behave, you start wanting a new style, right? I wanted a look that was neat but still natural, so I visited Eomaek Hair Project Cheomdan Branch in Gwangju.

I really loved the result. My whole look feels so much tidier, and styling my hair should be way easier from now on.👍👍

And hot coffee too, hahaha.

Why did I choose the magic setting instead of regular straightening?

I picked the magic setting because I didn't want my hair simply flattened; I wanted a style with natural volume and curl still alive in it. Even a small change in hairstyle shifts your whole image, so choosing one takes some thought.

What I like about the magic setting is that it smooths curliness and frizz on the upper part of the head while adding curl to the ends for a natural look. I think it suits people like me who want calm hair and a feminine C-curl at the same time.

Volume magic or C-curl? Consulting the designer

At Eomaek Hair Project Cheomdan Branch I was treated by my designer!! I explained the style I wanted and showed example photos, and she consulted with me so kindly! haha

At first I was torn between volume magic (a straightening perm that keeps root volume) and something else, but the designer recommended that the style I wanted needed a C-curl, so C-curl it was! Straightening on top, C-curl perm below! The treatment I got is the magic setting: the top is smoothed calm and sleek with magic straightening, and a C-curl perm goes in underneath.

How did the straightened top of the magic setting change my hair?

With the top of my head neatly straightened, everything felt more put together. If your usual worry is frizz or flyaways that make your hair look messy, straightening gives a calm look, which I really like.

With the hair falling calmly, the area around my face looked a lot cleaner too.

My designer straightened it strand by strand, so carefully ㅠㅠ I was so touched by how meticulous she was,, She also showed me how to style it while drying, step by step, recommended lots of products, and was just so kind...

Finishing the magic setting by blow-drying and styling

I think it's especially important that the straightened part and the C-curl connect naturally. With calm hair on top and soft curves below, you get a clean, refined style without looking overdone.

This was exactly the look I wanted! It doesn't look too heavy or stiff, yet it's neat and pretty, so I was really satisfied.

How are the C-curl result and styling at home?

With the magic setting, the calm top and the naturally curling C-curl blend well, so the whole silhouette looks lovely. I love how my hairstyle changed after the treatment❤️❤️ Goodbye, straw hair,,

With curl at the ends, the flatness typical of straight hair is reduced, and it feels like I styled it naturally, which I liked even more. I think a C-curl perm is also a good choice for people who find heavily curled styles overwhelming.

Above all, hair that's pretty only right after leaving the salon isn't the goal; you want hair that's easy to handle at home. The magic setting calms the top and adds curl to the ends, so I think it's appealing even for people who can't spend much time on their hair.

When washing and drying my hair in the morning, I just need to work with the calm texture and natural curl, so the styling burden feels lighter. Of course, curl shape and how long it lasts can vary depending on your hair condition and how you style it, but I liked that overall it's an easy style to maintain.

Who do I recommend the magic setting for?

I'd recommend the magic setting to anyone who worries that straightening will make their hair too flat, or that a perm will leave the top looking frizzy. The top stays calm while the bottom finishes with a natural C-curl, so you get the best of both styles.

I think it suits people who like a tidy look but don't want to lose a feminine, soft vibe.

What to know before getting a magic setting

Since it combines straightening and perming, results can vary depending on hair damage, thickness and past treatments, so it's important to have a thorough consultation first and proceed according to your own hair condition.

After getting the magic setting at Eomaek Hair Project Cheomdan Branch, I felt that just changing my hair shape was a real mood boost. I loved the harmony of calm, tidy hair and a naturally placed C-curl, and I was happy because it was close to the style I wanted.

Verdict: the magic setting at Eomaek Hair Project Cheomdan Branch

The magic setting at Eomaek Hair Project Cheomdan Branch was a really satisfying choice. With the top neatly and calmly straightened and the bottom finished naturally with a C-curl perm, my whole hairstyle looked more polished and feminine.

  • People who prefer natural curl over pin-straight hair
  • People who want to calm frizzy hair
  • People who want a pretty style that's also easy to maintain

If you, like me, wanted both straightening and a C-curl perm, it's worth getting a consultation at Eomaek Hair Project Cheomdan Branch. It's great for a mood refresh when you want a new style, and I was even happier with how calm and natural it looks.

I really loved it! If you want a combination of clean straightening and a natural C-curl, give it a thought. I'd love to give myself another happy change with a hairstyle I like next time too. 💗
