Hongdae hair salon for Le Sserafim Kim Chaewon's matte brown: Andoff

Andoff Hongdae (앤오프 홍대점) is a hair salon on a Donggyo-dong side street in Mapo, Seoul, near Exit 1 of Hongik Univ. Station. Using Le Sserafim member Kim Chaewon's hair color as a reference, the writer got a designer-recommended matte brown dye and a layered cut tailored to face shape at Andoff Hongdae in about 1 hour 30 minutes. The matte brown cleared the red and yellow tones left by an old dye job, making for a calm, soft summer change of look.

Yeonnam-dong café for a sibling who hates bitter coffee: Central Site

Central Site Yeonnam (센트럴사이트 연남점) is a three-floor specialty coffee café on Yeonhui-ro in Mapo, Seoul, near Exit 3 of Hongik Univ. Station. The writer visited Central Site Yeonnam with a younger sibling who wanted good coffee rather than bitter coffee, ordering two drip coffees, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbesa and Guatemala Entre Volcanes, plus a classic tiramisu. Bean aroma sampling and flavor explanations make Central Site Yeonnam easy for coffee beginners, and the tiramisu beat expectations.

Sinchon hair salon layered cut that hides cheekbones: Demon Hair

Demon Hair Sinchon Branch is a hair salon on the 2nd floor of the building next to Hyundai Department Store, in front of Sinchon Station Exit 1 in Seodaemun, Seoul. After the scalp analysis offered to first-time cut customers, senior stylist Taeyeon gave the writer a chest-length layered cut with a cheekbone-covering side cut in 30 minutes. Because the cut worked with the leftover perm curls, a simple blow-dry brought them back. Demon Hair Sinchon Branch suits anyone whose long hair feels heavy in summer and wants a lighter cut.
