# Bucheon hair salon wedding color from black to gray brown: Levia Hair - By Sieun (https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-gate-cup/) - Written Sep 17, 2026 - Local places › Hair & beauty salons › Bucheon, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This post was written after receiving the service from the salon free of charge. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-gate-cup/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gyeonggi-gate-cup/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/index.md) ## In short Levia Hair Bucheon Branch is a hair salon on the third floor of the City Office building near Bucheon City Hall Station in Bucheon, Gyeonggi. Manager Sora toned nearly black hair down to a gray-tinged brown for a wedding, and while the color looked almost black indoors on the day, the soft brown came through under bright light two days later. Levia Hair recommends booking wedding color 1-2 weeks before the ceremony so there is time to see the true shade. ## Good to know - **Location**: 221 Gilju-ro, City Office building, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon, Gyeonggi (near Bucheon City Hall Station) - **Service**: Wedding hair color - gray-toned brown tone-down - **Stylist**: Manager Sora - **Recommended timing**: Color 1-2 weeks before the wedding *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* Hi, I'm Handada. I'm getting ready for my wedding bit by bit. My hair is naturally almost black, so instead of going too dark for the big day, I thought a slightly lighter, natural brown would look better, and decided to get a wedding hair color. I searched for a good salon in Bucheon and ended up at Levia Hair, near Bucheon City Hall Station. ![Brown-colored hair after wedding hair coloring](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-01-bkq2i-1200.webp) *Wedding hair color review at Levia Hair near Bucheon City Hall* ## Why color black hair before a wedding? I'm honestly not someone who changes hair color often. But with the wedding coming up, I kept wondering whether to keep this black hair all the way to the big day or lighten it a bit. I'd also heard that very black hair can look like a solid dark blob in photos... That said, I didn't want to suddenly jump to a really light brown either. What I wanted was exactly this: a touch lighter than black, but natural enough that it doesn't scream "I dyed my hair!" Something that would go well with the dress and makeup too. ## Visiting Levia Hair Bucheon Branch near Bucheon City Hall Station ![Bright, clean interior of Levia Hair Bucheon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-02-1kjc9-924.webp) ![Service seating area at Levia Hair Bucheon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-03-jttwo-924.webp) ![Waiting area with windows at the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-04-1w55l-924.webp) I visited Levia Hair, a bright, clean-looking salon on the second floor. The seats had decent spacing so it never felt cramped, and being on the second floor with an open view meant it felt nice to look out the window while waiting. ![Salon seating with generous spacing between chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-05-1c8vz-924.webp) ![Second-floor salon interior with a view outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-06-hfcrn-924.webp) ![Mirror and service station at Levia Hair Bucheon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-07-87ub0-924.webp) I was styled by Manager Sora that day. Before coloring, we had a consultation where I explained what I wanted while she checked my current hair condition. ![Consultation on hair condition before coloring](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-08-1c43v-924.webp) I told her I had a wedding coming up, that I didn't want anything too light, and that I wanted the color to look like a natural lightening from my current black. She listened carefully, considering the dress, the wedding hall, my skin tone, and my current hair condition. I'm the type who asks a lot of questions, and she never seemed bothered — she answered everything in detail and reacted warmly, which honestly put me in a good mood haha. ![Wedding hair color service in progress](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-09-1yrpr-924.webp) ![Hair color being applied to the hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-10-1xm1g-924.webp) ![Gray-toned tone-down color service in progress](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-11-1ywsn-924.webp) Since my skin tone is on the darker side, we decided to go with a slightly toned-down, gray-tinged color. ## Right after the wedding color: darker than expected? Once the color was done, everything blended naturally with no jarring bright spots — it looked calm and put-together overall. But since my hair was so dark to begin with, indoors it looked almost black even right after the coloring. ![Hair looking dark indoors right after coloring](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-12-b7u88-924.webp) ![Calm, finished hair right after the color service](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-13-jp2gr-924.webp) Up close it did feel a little softer than before, but the brown wasn't as noticeable as I'd hoped. ![Close-up of hair color right after coloring](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-14-cw723-924.webp) ![Wedding hair color under indoor lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-15-6w8yz-m-924.webp) ![Back-of-head color after the coloring was finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-16-1ytfi-924.webp) ![Brown hair looking dark on the day of coloring](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-17-zm9hi-924.webp) So honestly, on the day itself I thought, "Maybe I should have gone a bit lighter?" ## Two days later, the gray brown finally showed On the day of coloring it looked almost black, so I wondered if it had actually turned out right. But two days later, taking photos under bright light, the natural lightening was clearly visible. Doesn't the brown show up so much better in these photos? It wasn't too yellow or too light — just a natural lift in tone from the original black. What I wanted was exactly this: a subtle brown that shows when it catches the light, and that's exactly what I got. ![Brown color visible under bright light two days later](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-18-1qksu-924.webp) ![Side hair showing subtle brown when catching the light](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-19-qrrl8-924.webp) Compared to the before photos, my hair overall looked noticeably softer, and personally the color difference was most visible in shots of the side pieces near my face. For someone who didn't want to change color too drastically before the wedding, this was just right. ## How far ahead should you do wedding hair color? 1-2 weeks What I learned from doing this wedding color myself is that the color you see right after coloring can look different from the color you see in everyday life a few days later. ![Overall hair color comparison two days after coloring](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-20-ryfc0-924.webp) ![Naturally lightened result of the wedding hair color](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-21-70inb-924.webp) On the day, it looked darker than I expected, but in photos taken two days later, the natural brown I wanted came through much more clearly. So if you're coloring your hair before your wedding, I'd personally recommend leaving yourself some time to actually see the color rather than doing it right before the big day. Of course, results can vary depending on your original hair color and coloring history, so if you have a specific color in mind, it's a good idea to bring reference photos to your consultation. ![Before-and-after hair color comparison photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-22-138cv-924.webp) ![Comparison shot showing color difference in the side hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-23-dr1d9-924.webp) ## The lie-flat shampoo chair at Levia Hair There was one more thing I really liked about Levia Hair: the shampoo chair! At most salons, you sit in the chair and just tilt your neck back. Since I'm short, I always end up sliding down a bit, but at Levia Hair you can lie all the way back with your legs fully stretched out for the shampoo, which was so much more comfortable. ![Shampoo chair that lets you lie flat with legs stretched out](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown-24-abz83-924.webp) And more than anything, the chair was so soft and cozy that I could just relax and lie there during the shampoo. The scalp massage while my hair was being washed was also genuinely refreshing and lovely. I came in for the hair color, but this part turned out to be unexpectedly satisfying too haha. Also, the shampoo area has no direct overhead lighting, just indirect light coming in, so it didn't feel glaring on the eyes. Anyway, I got my wedding hair color done ahead of the big day, and I really appreciated being able to consult about the dress, the wedding hall atmosphere, and whether the hall would be dark or bright before deciding on the color. If you're planning to color your hair before your wedding, they recommend doing it 1-2 weeks ahead at most — hope this helps with your wedding prep! ## Where it is - Levia Hair Bucheon Branch (르비아 헤어 부천점) - 221 Gilju-ro, City Office building, 3F, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 부천시 원미구 길주로 221 씨티오피스, 3층 르비아헤어 - 37.5047137, 126.7672502 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A5%B4%EB%B9%84%EC%95%84%20%ED%97%A4%EC%96%B4%20%EB%B6%80%EC%B2%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.5047137,126.7672502,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-gate-cup/bucheon-wedding-hair-color-grey-brown/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
