Gwacheon hair salon for thinning out hair after a perm: One & Only

Why choose One & Only Hair in Gwacheon five months after a perm?

I went to One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station and got a layered cut from Manager Bom. Five months after my perm, my ends were damaged and splitting. My hair is also pretty thick, so it had gotten heavy, and I felt like I really needed a cut.

One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station is known as a go-to spot for layered cuts in Gwacheon, and Manager Bom has a lot of repeat visitors and reviews, so I booked my first visit to a Gwacheon hair salon with her. Here's my honest review!

Where is One & Only Hair? One minute from Gwacheon Government Complex Station, with parking

One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station is just a one-minute walk from the station, so accessibility was great. Plus it's in a new building with parking available, so it's also convenient if you're driving.

One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station is on the basement level, and no matter which entrance you come in from on the 1st floor, you just take the central elevator in the middle.

What the salon looks like inside and out

The simple, modern exterior of One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station really caught my eye.

Since it was my first visit and I'd booked ahead, when I stepped inside Manager Bom greeted me with a bright hello.

The interior had a beige-toned, modern, tasteful design that felt sleek and stylish. Overall it was really clean and pleasant.

They use a variety of hair products, and even the colors of the bottles looked pretty.

Hair condition before the cut and the consultation with Manager Bom

This is my hair before the cut. My ends were really damaged and it looked heavy, right?

With all that weight, there was no root volume and it just felt stuffy overall. Manager Bom at One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station carefully checked in with me — how long since my perm, when I last got a cut — and gave me a thorough consultation.

Massage-chair shampoo and protein hair pack

Manager Bom did the shampoo herself from start to finish. Instead of a row of shampoo chairs, there was a private, cozy setup, which felt relaxing. And since it was a massage chair, all the tension melted away while my hair was being washed — I got so mellow.

(Please don't laugh at the photo, haha) Such a nice touch — she put an eye mask on so water wouldn't splash into my eyes! She used a protein shampoo to protect my hair and replenish protein. I lay there with the hair pack on for a few minutes, and the massage chair was so comfortable I basically took a quick nap.

Manager Bom at One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station also did some light scalp care, so even just from the shampoo my head already felt refreshed.

After the layered cut: heavy hair finally feels light

Ta-da! Here's the photo after my Gwacheon layered cut. Manager Bom chatted with me while designing the cut to fit my face shape, head shape, and overall look, and finished off a beautiful layered cut.

Having one person handle everything from start to finish, 1:1, really made the whole experience feel more satisfying. She even finished with a careful blow-dry that brought out the volume.

True to its reputation as a go-to spot for layered cuts, the layers were shaped beautifully to fit my face, and it looked so natural, right?

My once-heavy hair became light, and the overall silhouette of the layers came back to life — the layered cut alone gave me a real mood boost.

Is One & Only Hair Gwacheon worth a visit?

That wraps up my review of getting a layered cut from Manager Bom at One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station. True to its reputation as a go-to spot for layered cuts in Gwacheon, the 1:1 service from consultation to cut felt relaxed and satisfying the whole way through.

One & Only Hair had a spacious, pleasant interior and great accessibility on top of it all. If you're looking to get a layered cut at a hair salon in Gwacheon, I'd definitely recommend visiting One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station.
