Men's part perm at Geomdan hair salon in Incheon: Lee Kyung Min Foret

Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch is a large, white-toned hair salon in Geomdan, Incheon, a 4-minute walk from Ara Station on Incheon Subway Line 1, with parking inside the building. After a month and a half without a haircut, the writer's husband talked it over with designer Gawon, who recommended a part perm and down perm instead of the as perm he came in for, and the cut, perm, heat treatment, shampoo and dry finish took 1 hour 45 minutes. Lee Kyung Min Foret is the kind of salon where you can walk in without a reference photo and still leave with a men's cut that suits your face shape.

It is the kind of place to go on a day when gopchang and a round of somaek sound right.
