The transportation was convenient and the Gyodong area was easy to access, so I decided to go check it out.

Since the salon runs on a private 1:1 reservation system, I got to have the whole time entirely to myself, which I really liked. ![Quiet salon interior run on a 1:1 reservation system](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-04-1be3t-900.webp) The salon's atmosphere was absolutely clean and tidy. And since it's a 1:1 reservation-only place, it felt quiet and private. ![Clean interior of the treatment space at Madeleine Hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-05-17ulu-900.webp) The interior itself was clean and stylish, and the soft background music was really lovely. ![Stylish decor items inside the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-06-uqt9t-872.webp) Madeleine Hair in Gangneung isn't just known for great hair — it's already famous for its good coffee too. I'd recommend enjoying a cup of coffee while you're there! ![Coffee served at Madeleine Hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-07-6x3lm-900.webp) ![Coffee beans and drink area at the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-08-pw0w4-900.webp) The salon is run by two hairdressers. Because it operates on a reservation system, each client is handled 1:1 by a dedicated stylist, and one stylist takes care of everything from cut to shampoo to blow-dry, which guarantees the quality of the final result. ![Seat in front of the mirror where 1:1 treatments take place](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-09-kvkhh-877.webp) ## Why Madeleine Hair is an officially certified Aveda salon Madeleine Hair in Gangneung is a specialist shop that uses Aveda products — it's officially Aveda-certified and uses the full Aveda line across the board. I already knew Aveda products are 96% natural and vegan-based, so they're gentle on the scalp and different from regular products, but the fact that even pregnant women can safely use them for dyeing and perms was a huge plus!! ![Display of Aveda hair products](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-10-1e8ep-900.webp) The product lineup itself was wide and varied. It seems like a perfect fit for anyone with scalp concerns or health worries. If you're into vegan products, Aveda is perfect for vegan hair care too!! If you have sensitive hair, I'd recommend this officially Aveda-certified concept salon for its natural and eco-friendly products. ![Product lineup at the officially Aveda-certified salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-11-mfwc7-900.webp) Even with dyeing, there's little damage or burden, which was a big advantage. ![Information on Aveda products at Madeleine Hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-12-7d2yi-695.webp) ## Discount events and prepaid credit at Madeleine Hair Besides the Aveda products, they were also running some pretty big discount events. ![Discount event signage at Madeleine Hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-13-10l8l-870.webp) ![Information on prepaid packages and set menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-14-18rki-749.webp) With prepaid packages and set menus, the price can get quite affordable for a treatment. ![The shampoo station being prepared](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-15-mtn3w-879.webp) ## What was the layered cut process like? Before the layered cut, I went in for a shampoo first. As expected of an officially certified Aveda salon, the shampoo itself was done with natural Aveda products. After the shampoo, they applied essence for the hair's condition ![Aveda essence applied after shampooing](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-16-2v4g3-900.webp) carefully all over, and then the treatment began. ![Layered cut beginning after the consultation](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-17-gbasz-900.webp) Unlike a factory-style hair shop, the consultation went into detail from the start. Since the cut was tailored to my face shape, it came out looking really natural. ![Cut being tailored to the face shape](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-18-d0t9l-900.webp) They matched the length exactly to what I wanted, too. ![Layered cut with matched length](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-19-1bwa3-900.webp) The blow-drying touch was so comfortable that I nearly dozed off sitting there. ![The comfortable blow-drying process](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-20-hq1xe-900.webp) They finished by carefully styling every last bit of my hair, ![Final touches being made to the hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-21-mw1pw-900.webp) and even kindly explained how to style it myself at home. The blow-dry was thorough too. As expected with a layered cut, my hair felt noticeably lighter. ![Finished lighter-feeling layered cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-22-jovk4-900.webp) ## Aveda finishing oil and how my hair looked the next day Lastly, they applied Aveda's oil essence. They applied plenty of oil, so even the next day my hair still felt silky and light. ![Hair finished with Aveda oil essence](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-23-1ixpe-816.webp) Since the treatment was done with Aveda products that are 96% natural, there was zero scalp irritation. If you dye your hair often, you probably worry about hair damage — but since Madeleine Hair in Gangneung only uses natural products, I think it's a great option for anyone who hasn't found a salon they can settle into. ![View of Madeleine Hair after the treatment was finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut-24-1n4ss-900.webp) Madeleine Hair, a hair salon in Gyodong, Gangneung — with plenty of parking space too!! It was a comfortable place to enjoy every service. ## Where it is - Madeleine Hair (마들렌헤어) - 76 Wondae-ro, Lotte Castle Signature main gate commercial building 2nd floor, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 강릉시 원대로 76 롯데캐슬시그니처 정문상가2층마들렌헤어 - 37.760301, 128.8820835 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%88%EB%93%A4%EB%A0%8C%ED%97%A4%EC%96%B4/@37.760301,128.8820835,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@meal-by-meal-5/gangneung-gyodong-aveda-salon-layered-cut/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
