Ansan hair salon root touch-up before graduation: Salon de Ire

Back for a Sadong root touch-up before the graduation ceremony

This is already my second visit. The owner was so kind and made me comfortable the first time, so I knew I wanted to come back. Tomorrow is my son's training-center graduation ceremony, and gray hairs that I hadn't even noticed a few days ago were suddenly standing out so much! I booked right away and went straight to get my hair done after working out.

Let me show you a selfie taken after getting my hair done at Salon de Ire, a hair salon in Sadong, Ansan~~ They neatly matched the color where my roots had lightened~~ The gray coverage is perfect, and my hair feels so silky too. I absolutely love it.

It feels like it has only been about a month since I dyed my hair, but what is this...ㅠㅠ It's upsetting that the time to dye it again keeps coming sooner and sooner. I'm trying to stick to a one-month interval for the sake of my hair health, but it isn't easy.

For those driving, there is parking right beside the salon, so it was easy and convenient to use.

Reservations and space at a one-person hair salon

A hair salon in Sadong, Ansan that does hair beautifully and uses genuine Shiseido products. It is a one-person salon, so the owner handles every appointment herself without any variation in service, and Naver reservations are essential. Since it is a one-person salon, you get to enjoy the spacious place as if you had rented it out for yourself.

It is closed every Monday. Reservations are required, so book through Naver or by phone before visiting; then you can receive your service in your allotted time slot without waiting.

For a one-person hair salon in Sadong, Ansan, it is quite big and spacious~~ It never feels cramped, and the environment is pleasant.

My roots and gray hairs before coloring

Before coming to the salon, it had been a month since I colored my hair, so I needed a root touch-up and gray coverage. Some of the sections colored a month ago had faded to a lighter shade, so those areas needed their tone evened out too~~

It may not look too serious in the photo... but in real life, the amount of gray hair seems to be increasing day by day. Hair damage is unavoidable, so this is the point when I need even more careful care.

A quick color service that started with scalp protection

Before coloring, the owner sprayed on a scalp protectant to protect my scalp. Maybe that is why my scalp did not feel irritated at all, and even after the service, there was none of that harsh chemical dye smell.

The owner checked my color right away and got to work quickly~~ As time passes, the difference between previously colored hair and new growth makes the roots look especially obvious, which had been bothering me. But thanks to the quick, skillful service~~~ I think I can attend my son's graduation ceremony tomorrow a little more confidently. Hahaha.

I captured a short video of the coloring process~~

For a root touch-up, I think it is important that the color connects naturally with the existing hair, so the products used matter too. I felt reassured because Salon de Ire, a hair salon in Sadong, Ansan, says it uses only genuine Shiseido products.

About one hour including shampoo and blow-dry

The root touch-up took about one hour in total, even including shampooing and drying~~ Since it is a one-person salon with a precise reservation system and the owner personally handles the service, I think that is why it could be done so quickly.

They even served a refreshing Americano and snacks~~ While I happily enjoyed the treats, the root touch-up was done~~~

Thankfully, the patchy-looking overall color was evened out to a certain extent. The lightened root area was neatly solved too~~~ And of course, the gray coverage is perfect.

Why the tidied-up color was the most satisfying part

I dye my hair fairly often, so I worry a lot about hair damage and can be a little sensitive about it. This is a Sadong hair salon I return to because, rather than simply matching the color, the owner carefully considers the condition of my hair during the service and makes me feel comfortable throughout.

The part I was most satisfied with after the root touch-up was how neatly the color was brought together. Tiny differences had made it look messy, and it had really been bothering me. I'm realizing that if you need a partial root color service for gray coverage, it needs more careful management. Parking is convenient, and I trust this place because it uses good products. Just getting my hair sorted out once fixed the part that had been catching my eye every time I looked in the mirror—what a relief~~ I'm fully satisfied with the result too~~
