Hapjeong hair salon men's iron + down perm to suit outfits: Pieum Hair

Why I looked for a men's iron perm and down perm in Hapjeong

I got an iron perm and a down perm for men's hair styling at Pieum Hair (피움헤어), a hair salon in Hapjeong. Guys, I'm sure you can relate: you love your hair when you walk out of the salon, but when you try to style it yourself at home, it doesn't come out the way you pictured. If styling every morning is a hassle, or your sides stick out easily, you've probably thought about a perm and a down perm.

So today's story is about Pieum Hair, the Hapjeong salon I visited for men's hair styling! This time designer Haereum did my iron perm and down perm. Here's my review of a consultation and treatment I was happy with from start to finish!

What are the opening hours of Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch?

Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch is at 2 Dongmak-ro, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, and it's open from 10:30 to 21:00. It's closed on Tuesdays.

How was the consultation with designer Haereum at Pieum Hair?

I liked that at Pieum Hair I could talk through the style I wanted thoroughly before the treatment started. For men's hair, I think it matters to design around face shape, hair type and your usual styling, not just trim the length.

With men's hair especially, the overall impression changes depending on how much the sides stick out and how the front falls, right? So rather than whatever is trending, I wanted hair that's easy to style day to day and suits me naturally.

This treatment was done by designer Haereum. During the consultation, we went into detail about my hair condition, how I usually style it, and even the way I usually dress. Pieum Hair had me satisfied before we even started!

What are a men's iron perm and a down perm?

The treatments I got at Pieum Hair were an iron perm and a down perm, both great for styling men's hair.

Iron perm: fine control of curl direction and volume

An iron perm uses a heated tool to design the curl and direction of your hair, so you can create a natural flow to match the style you want. It was recommended to me a lot because you can finely control the volume and curl direction.

Down perm: calming sides that stick out

A down perm is worth recommending if your sides stick out. Pressing the sides down makes the whole silhouette look neater, and it even makes your head look smaller. That's a nice bonus! With men's hair, just having tidy side lines makes the whole style look much cleaner.

Guidance on styling at home after the treatment

I thought the most important thing was a natural, clean look, rather than a strong curl or sides pressed down too hard. After the treatment, I was also told how to dry my hair at home and what to keep in mind when styling. If you want hair that's easy to manage at home, not just pretty at the salon, it's worth checking this kind of thing too.

Every now and then the salon dog came over and sniffed my feet, which put me in a good mood ^^ Seriously, seriously, seriously cute!!!

What to tell your designer before an iron perm or down perm consultation

If you're thinking about an iron perm or a down perm, it's worth talking through the following with your designer.

• How much your sides usually stick out
• How much time you spend styling in the morning

I was glad to get a consultation with designer Haereum before the treatment, and it's a place I'd want to come back to the next time I tidy up my hairstyle.

Iron perm + down perm: before and after

Even just comparing the before and after, I personally like how clean and tidy my hair looks, but my girlfriend loved it so much too! I hope this post helps anyone in Hapjeong thinking about a men's iron perm or down perm. If you're considering a change of style at Pieum Hair in Hapjeong, have a good long talk with designer Haereum about what you want.
