Hapjeong hair salon bleached-hair bangs + root volume perm: Pieum Hair

For the record, Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch was a place where I still loved my hair even after I got home.

Where is Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch?

Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch (피움헤어 합정 본점) is a hair salon right outside Exit 7 of Hapjeong Station. It has lots of regulars, an established salon sitting right in front of the station!

It's open 10:30-21:00 and closed every Tuesday. It's in the alley behind, between the LG U+ store and the Hollys Coffee shop, right outside Exit 7 of Hapjeong Station.

The designers have solid track records, and the head director even teaches people who are studying hairdressing. Real skill!

I booked a specific senior designer (siljangnim) before visiting. With so many regulars, after all,

A cute dog named Muang greeted me, which put me in a good mood. :) When I visited there were lots of people, and watching how the customers treated Muang showed me again just how many regulars they have. :)

Can bleached hair be permed? Why a bangs perm and root volume instead of a layered perm

My hair is bleached, so at Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch they recommended root volume and a bangs perm instead of a layered perm. They conscientiously told me a layered perm would damage my hair badly.

First, here's my before hair! It's bleached... At another salon in the past, they bleached my hair without explaining anything about bleaching, so I've been struggling, unable to get a perm :( Other places said a perm was possible, so I came here planning a layered perm, but they conscientiously told me it would damage my hair a lot~ So I ended up doing root volume and a bangs perm.

Before and after: flat, straight roots with lift

Let me show you the before and after photos first~ My hair is completely straight and the volume just falls flat. On the right you can see the roots with the volume lifted up!

The top of my hair is dyed and the ends of my bangs are bleached, so to keep the damage as low as possible, it turned out they had to use the perm solution twice (double application).

It had been a long time since I'd seen a place treat my hair this carefully, as if it were their own, so I trusted them a lot. Even though it took a long time, seeing how hard they worked to minimize damage, I could understand why Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch has so many regulars.

How long does a root volume and bangs perm take?

Root volume and the bangs perm together took about 3 hours 30 minutes at Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch. Why? Because I'm a walking mix of bleached and dyed hair....

To give you the conclusion first: the perm stayed pretty even after I washed my hair the next day.

I enjoyed an iced coffee and relaxed in the warm sunlight while getting my hair done, haha

Muang kept striking cute poses here and there, so I had fun the whole time I was getting my hair done~

Does an iron root volume perm last after washing the next day?

At Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch, the root volume was done with an iron. An iron isn't easy to handle, but they were really professional about it.

The lower part was done with a curling iron, and the perm went on the roots and the bangs. The next day I went home, washed my hair and styled it again, and the amazing thing is that people asked me where I got my bangs perm done, haha. You could really tell it was a pro's touch.

It's right near Hapjeong Station, so access is great too. If you want hair you love not just when it's finished at the salon but also when you style it yourself at home, I highly recommend Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch.
