Hannam-dong hair salon haircut for puffy side hair: ONLY FOR YOU

It had been a while since my last haircut, so I stopped by ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch, a hair salon in Hannam-dong.

I naturally have thick hair and my side hair tends to flare out, so I'd been getting down perms on the sides for years. But after doing that so consistently, my scalp seemed to be getting more sensitive, so this time I decided to try a cut only, without the down perm.

Honestly I was a little worried that with just a cut, my side hair would flare up again and look awkward, but the result turned out way better than I expected.

Where is ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch, and is there parking?

ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch is near Hannam Oger-ri intersection, so it was easy to find, and best of all the parking lot was huge. Free parking is available for up to 250 cars, with 3 hours provided, so I could visit without any parking stress.

Inside the 3rd-floor salon: café-like space and free drinks

The salon is on the 3rd floor, and the moment I walked in I liked that the space felt bigger and more comfortable than I expected.

There's a section with floor-to-ceiling windows, so the lighting is great overall, and it felt more like a café than a typical hair salon.

There was also a variety of drinks on the menu, and I had a cool iced americano.

Coming in for a haircut and getting to enjoy coffee too,

it felt like I'd popped into a café for a moment haha. There was even hotteok (sweet pancake) and toast!

Consultation for thick hair with side sections that puff out

This time my cut was with designer Yura.

We started with a quick consultation, where I explained that my hair is thick and the sides tend to flare up, and that I'd been getting down perms regularly.

When I said I wanted to skip the down perm and get things as naturally tidy as possible with just a cut, she checked the condition of my hair and shaped a style that suited it.

How designer Yura cut the sides, and her styling tips

Once the cut started, she carefully adjusted the overall length and balanced the volume on the sides. The side hair I'd been worried about wasn't shaved too short either — it was shaped to fall naturally instead.

After the cut, she showed me a simple way to style it at home, which was easy enough to follow myself.

The shampoo room was another thing I liked, honestly.

The space itself was cozy and comfortable, so even during the shampoo it felt like a little rest.

The result: a haircut only, with no down perm

What I was most satisfied with, above all, was the result.

Even with just a cut and no down perm, my side hair settled more naturally than I expected, and the overall shape came out neat. I actually liked this natural fall better than the way down perms used to pin everything flat before.

I'd worried whether a cut alone would be enough for hair this thick and flare-prone, but it turned out to be needless worry. The staff were friendly overall, and Yura walked me through everything comfortably from the consultation to the cut to the final styling, so it never felt like a hassle.

For anyone looking for a hair salon in Hannam-dong with easy parking, or anyone who wants their hair tidied naturally without a down perm, this place seems like a solid pick.

I only got a cut this time, and it turned out more natural and neat than I expected, so I'm happy — I'm planning to come back next time I need my hair done too.

That's my satisfied review of getting a cut at ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch, a hair salon in Hannam-dong :) I was a bit worried going in with a cut-only plan and no down perm, but it came out far more natural and neat than expected, so I'm happy.

Even with thick hair that tends to flare on the sides, Yura shaped a style that suited my hair, and I liked that — the consultation, cut, and styling were all easy and comfortable. Parking was relaxed and the atmosphere was pleasant, so I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a hair salon in Hannam-dong :)
