Sinjungdong hair salon toning brassy hair grayish brown: Levia Hair

After bleaching my hair a bright color, I kept noticing more and more yellow tones creeping up over time, so I decided to tone it down into something calmer. Here's my review of getting my hair colored by stylist Sora at Levia Hair Bucheon Branch near Bucheon City Hall Station ఇ

Where is Levia Hair Bucheon Branch, and what is the salon like?

Levia Hair Bucheon Branch is 232m from Exit 5 of Bucheon City Hall Station, on the 3rd floor of City Office at 221 Gilju-ro. Being so close to the subway made it really easy to find :)

The salon has such a clean, calm atmosphere that I felt totally comfortable during the whole treatment ☺︎

Hair before the color: yellow and red tones from a faded bleach

After bleaching my hair bright several times, a lot of the color had faded over time ,, and instead of the tone I wanted, a strong yellow tint had come through, leaving it patchy and honestly kind of ugly. On top of the typical yellow tone of bleached hair, there was also some red showing through, so I decided to calm the whole thing down :)

What I wanted this time was a grayish brown that would tame both the yellow and red tones ఇ Not a brown that goes too dark, but something calm that fades naturally.

How did the color consultation with stylist Sora go?

This time I got my color done by director Sora at Levia Hair Bucheon Branch. During the consultation, she carefully checked my current hair condition first!

Instead of simply applying the color I wanted, she explained what pigment was currently left in my hair and how the color would fade after dyeing ఇ

Honestly, I used to think that all that mattered was how the color looked right after dyeing,, but going through this consultation made me realize how important it is to also think about what the color looks like after it fades :) Bright hair especially can develop unwanted yellow or red tones as it fades, and she paid close attention to that part 🤍

The grayish brown coloring process at Levia Hair Bucheon Branch

What I wanted was a grayish brown that tamed the yellow and red tones while keeping a calm mood with a touch of softness ᰔᩚ Stylist Sora adjusted the color based on my hair's condition as she worked :)

Throughout the process she kept checking my hair's condition and carefully adjusting the color so it wouldn't stray too far from the mood I wanted ఇ

The finished grayish brown color

Once the coloring was done, it definitely felt much calmer than before!

The hair that had faded to yellow was smoothed out, making the overall tone look a lot cleaner :)

It's not so strongly gray that it looks ashy — the warmth of the brown is still there, while the yellow and red tones are toned down, so it matched the mood I wanted really well. It also looked slightly different depending on the lighting, which made it look great in photos too ఇ

Color planned around how grayish brown fades

What I liked most about this color at Levia Hair Bucheon Branch was that it wasn't just designed around how the color looks right now.

Stylist Sora set the color not just for how it looks immediately, but also thinking ahead to what color it would fade into over time ఇ

For hair like mine that had been bleached bright, yellow or red tones can come back over time, and she took that into account too — I really liked that the color was designed for the whole process, not just right after dyeing :) So this time, instead of just looking good right after coloring, I'm looking forward to seeing it fade into a pretty color over time 🤍🤍

Before and after the grayish brown color

The yellow and red tones that had faded in are clearly gone now, replaced with a calm, tidy grayish brown.

My overall look also feels a bit softer, and personally I'm really happy with it. If you're trying to figure out your next color after bleaching faded, this kind of color consultation might be worth considering 🤍

Who should book this grayish brown toning?

• Anyone whose bleached hair has turned very yellow
• Anyone who also wants to tame red tones
• Anyone who wants a tone-down that isn't too dark
• Anyone who wants to think about color fade, not just the immediate result
• Anyone who wants a color consultation tailored to their specific hair condition

If, like me, you care about more than just "what looks good right now" and also think about how it fades over time, it's worth bringing that up during your consultation ఇ

Levia Hair Bucheon Branch review at a glance

This time, I got my brassy, faded hair toned down into a calm grayish brown. What I liked most was that stylist Sora didn't just focus on how the color looked right away, but thought in detail about what it would look like after it faded. Looking good right after coloring matters, but personally I found it even more satisfying that the whole fading process was considered. If you're looking into color consultations in Sinjungdong, Bucheon, I hope this helps ᰔᩚ
