40-minute men's haircut at Geomdan hair salon: Lee Kyung Min Foret

At some point my husband's hair just got way too shaggy. It's still hot out, but his neckline and sideburns had grown out so messily that even I felt a bit stifled looking at him. So I thought about where to take him for a cut this time, and ended up going back to Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch, a place I'd been happy with before.

Honestly, this place holds good memories for me! I came here before I got married to get my wedding-day dye done, and designer Gawon did the treatment. She was so meticulous with me back then, and I also remembered how carefully and beautifully she did my layered cut, so this time I wanted to let her take on my husband's hair too. Spoiler: I was satisfied again this time, haha.

Salon atmosphere, price list and parking at Lee Kyung Min Foret

The Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch salon had an overall clean, tidy atmosphere.

I remembered it being clean on my last visit too, and this time it was still a comfortable place to get your hair done.

The price list, which first-time visitors probably want to know, was also clearly displayed, so it was easy to check ahead of time.

When you already know what treatment you want, being able to check the price beforehand is the best! Parking is also available, so it was convenient to visit by car. When I'm looking for a hair salon in Geomdan, whether there's parking is something I take seriously, and this time too we drove there comfortably.

How to book designer Gawon on Naver Reservations

We booked ahead of time. If you want a specific designer, it seems easiest to use Naver Reservations to lock in a time in advance. Especially if you're set on a particular designer, it's more reassuring to book ahead than to just show up on the day. This time we booked in advance too, because we wanted designer Gawon to handle my husband's cut.

Before the cut: an overgrown neckline and sideburns

Looking at my husband's hair before the cut, it had really grown a lot in just one month.

His neckline and sideburns especially had gotten messy, and even I could tell it needed tidying up ASAP. 😂 We did ask him what style he wanted, but honestly, when it comes to my husband's hair, I like something clean that's also easy to style at home.

Please clean up the neckline and sideburns neatly, and make it easy to style at home too.

That's what I told designer Gawon. Once I explained what I wanted, she checked everything carefully before starting the cut.

How long does a men's haircut take? About 40 minutes

My husband's cut at Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch took about 40 minutes.

Rather than rushing through it, she checked the overall length as she went and tidied it up carefully. She especially cleaned up the neckline and sideburns I'd asked her to pay attention to. Before the cut his hair looked shaggy and a bit stifling overall, but as it got trimmed bit by bit, you could really see his look becoming cleaner.

This is exactly why I wanted to go back to designer Gawon! When I had my hair done before I got married, she did my layered cut so meticulously. Men's and women's hair are obviously different, but the same care I felt back then came through in my husband's cut too. Instead of just half-listening to what I asked for and cutting, she looked at the condition of his hair and adjusted naturally, so the result ended up close to what I actually wanted.

After the cut, my husband looked in the mirror and seemed to like how clean it looked — he said it was good. Honestly, with my husband's hair there's always a bit of negotiating between the style I want and the style he's comfortable with, but this time it felt like we were both happy, haha.

Final verdict on the men's haircut at Lee Kyung Min Foret

Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch is a place I'd personally tried and liked before I even got married, so I wanted to bring my husband's cut here too. I went in thinking, let's have the designer I was happy with take on my husband's hair as well — and it turned out I was satisfied with his cut too.

The neckline and sideburn cleanup I wanted was neat, and it came out easy to style at home, which I liked. Above all, I appreciated how carefully she cut it over about 40 minutes.

If you still haven't found your go-to hair salon in Geomdan New Town, or you're looking for a place to take your husband, or you want to keep going back to the same designer, it might be worth booking ahead through Naver Reservations. Next time I need my own hair done, I'm planning to go back to designer Gawon again. Happy with the result once more! Now that my husband's hair is neatly done too, I'm just waiting for our fall outing, haha.
