A bad cut at a neighborhood salon: why I went to Juno Hair Hongdae Entrance Branch

To fix my long hair after a neighborhood salon ruined it, I made a reservation at Juno Hair Hongdae Entrance Branch (준오헤어 홍대입구역점), near Hongik Univ. Station. It came highly recommended for cuts, and I picked it especially because the layered cut reviews were so good.

I usually keep my hair long, but I got a rushed cut at a neighborhood salon and it went totally wrong.. T_T I only asked for a trim, but the layers didn't match, the length ended up way shorter, and the thinning wasn't done at all, so I was so stressed. That's why I came to Juno Hair Hongdae Entrance Branch to rescue my hair!

Where is Juno Hair Hongdae Entrance Branch, and what's the salon like?

The layers were left awkwardly, so my hair felt heavy toward the ends and the overall line wasn't tidy.

How did the consultation with Designer Ji go?

Before cutting, Designer Ji (이지) at Juno Hair Hongdae Entrance Branch looked carefully at my face and hair condition and explained in detail which style would suit me. She said a layered cut isn't just about adding lots of layers, but about adding volume to suit your face shape, which made me trust her.

I told her everything I wanted, and she worked hard to fix it to match my needs.. During the cut she checked the length from time to time and kept asking whether it was the look I wanted, so I really felt we were communicating well.

Layered cut result: connected layers and a C-curl

The layered cut at Juno Hair Hongdae Entrance Branch connected my uneven layers naturally and gave me a much more polished look. The feminine layered cut you see all over social media these days came out just right, and with my hair down it looked much lighter and my face line looked prettier T_T

Even a quick blow-dry brings out the C-curl naturally, so it looks easy to style at home. I don't usually spend long styling my hair, yet it shaped up easily, so I was very satisfied.

Now the layers connect naturally and the whole look feels much lighter and more feminine. The line falling beside my face is so pretty that my face even looks a little smaller…!

I'd never tried this style before, and I'm so happy I found a new look that suits me even better T_T I went to fix a bad cut and ended up seeing the light… ❤️ It turns out she specializes in 1:1 personal consulting haha
