Bucheon hair salon for root straightening + C-curl perm: Kkomblli

Why I booked Kkomblli Salon near Sinjungdong Station

I booked a layered perm at Kkomblli Salon Bucheon Sinjungdong, near Sinjungdong Station, to deal with my curly roots and heavy long hair. The weather is getting hotter and hair care has become really hard!

It had been about 6 months since my last hair appointment, and the curl was starting to come back in at the roots, so my morning blow-dry kept getting longer. I decided it was time for a change of look, and I booked Kkomblli Salon Bucheon Sinjungdong, which is known among Sinjungdong hair salons for doing layered perms well.

AI hairstyle experience zone

Kkomblli Salon Bucheon Sinjungdong has a fun space you don't usually see in a hair salon: an AI hairstyle experience zone. You take a photo, and the AI recommends a range of hairstyles to suit your face shape.

I thought it was neat to preview a style I'd always wanted to try. I think it would help a lot if you're someone who wonders "Will this style suit me?" before getting your hair done.

My hair before, and the consultation

Before the layered perm, I had a consultation with the head stylist at Kkomblli Salon. We talked about the current state of my hair and the style I wanted, and she understood the look I had in mind right away, so the consultation was easy.

My hair had a lot of curl coming up at the top, and the lower part had just grown long, so it looked heavy and messy.

The layered perm process: from the cut to root straightening

The treatment I got at Kkomblli Salon Bucheon Sinjungdong combined a medium-length layered cut with root straightening (ppuri magic) and a C-curl perm. It went in this order: cut, shampoo, softening, rod winding, root straightening, neutralizing.

1. Cut

This time I decided to go for a medium-length layered style, trimming the length and doing root straightening and a C-curl perm together. Too much layering would be a bit much for me, so I wanted something natural with a sense of volume and space! First the cut tidied up the overall line, and that step alone already made my hair look much neater.

If you tell them which drink you'd like, they set it up at your seat, so I never got thirsty, and I could have a few light snacks too. Nice!

2. Shampoo and softening

After the cut came a shampoo, then the softening step in preparation for the perm.

3. Rods

Next, the stylist wound the rods one by one to create the layered perm curls, working carefully to match my hair length and layers.

4. Root straightening and neutralizing

Once the rods were done, she used a flat iron for the root straightening. The curly hair at the top has to be settled neatly, otherwise styling is much harder.

After neutralizing, the curls were set and the final styling was done. The whole treatment took about 3 hours, but the time passed faster than I expected. Above all, the head stylist and I chatted so easily that there was never a boring moment while I was in the chair.

How did the root straightening + C-curl layered perm turn out?

When I looked in the mirror after styling, I was really happy with the medium-length layered perm with root straightening and a C-curl perm from Kkomblli Salon. My unruly, overgrown hair was neatly tidied up, and the whole look came across as much more polished. What I liked most was how the root straightening naturally calmed the curl at the top.

The C-curl went into the lower part naturally, giving me a layered perm that's easy to maintain. It doesn't look overdone; it falls nicely with just a blow-dry, so I think my morning prep time will shrink too.

My heavy-looking long hair became a medium-length layered style that feels much lighter and fresher. If summer hair care is a worry for you, I think this kind of style is worth considering.
