A husband's messy, grown-out ash perm was fixed with a cut, front volume magic, and a top texture perm in just 1 hour 10 minutes. The salon's own private parking lot made a weekend visit by car completely stress-free. ## Good to know - **Location**: 61 Jandari-ro, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (354m from Hapjeong Station Exit 2) - **Parking**: Private lot behind the salon - **Service received**: Design cut + front volume magic + top texture perm - **Time taken**: 1 hour 10 minutes - **Extras**: Coffee, juice, and snack desserts provided *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* My husband got an ash perm about three months ago, but as time passed the curls loosened up messily and his hair just looked overgrown and shaggy overall ㅠㅠ It looked stuffy and unkempt, so we went to Recteur, a hair salon near Hapjeong Station, for a clean style makeover. Sharing the review here! ![Main image from the visit to Recteur Seoul hair salon near Hapjeong Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-01-fvuq6-m-1200.webp) ## Location and parking at Recteur Seoul near Hapjeong Station It's located about 354m from Hapjeong Station Exit 2, where Line 2 and Line 6 both pass, so it's easy to get to. ![Recteur Seoul's private parking lot behind the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-02-1ycu0-966.webp) There's a private parking lot behind the salon too, so you can visit without any parking stress. We drove there over the weekend and it was really convenient. ## The look and feel of the salon, inside and out ![View of Recteur Seoul's modern storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-03-hwlzv-966.webp) The modern, sleek exterior catches your eye right away, and stepping inside, a bright, clean, pleasant interior full of natural light welcomes you. The space felt open and airy overall with no sense of crowding, so it was comfortable the whole time we were there. ![Coffee and snack desserts served during the service](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-04-tfl6h-966.webp) They even brought out cool coffee, juice, and snack desserts during the service, so it felt like hanging out at a cozy aesthetic café. ## The style direction decided in the 1:1 consultation ![Designer Yongtaek's 1:1 consultation](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-05-o62sg-966.webp) ![Consultation checking the hair condition before the service](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-06-9q9bw-966.webp) We weren't sure what style to go with, but our designer, Yongtaek, carefully examined my husband's hair condition and head shape and gave us a thorough 1:1 consultation. ![Before photo of the loosened ash perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-07-fhkd6-966.webp) Looking at the messy hair, he immediately pointed out the styling direction that would look best given the current condition. We decided to go with a light cut on top, natural volume magic in front, and an overall trendy texture perm style. ## The process: cut, volume magic, and texture perm After sitting down, they checked the hair condition and started applying the softening agent. He carefully applied the chemical while watching the hair condition closely so it wouldn't be over-damaged. After the chemical treatment, he did a detailed design cut on the messy hair, ![Design cut in progress](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-08-1bhwf-966.webp) ![The process continuing after the cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-09-12acy-966.webp) then moved on to giving the stuffy front section natural volume with volume magic, and adding dimension to the top with a texture perm. Designer Yongtaek's hands were fast and precise, so it all wrapped up neatly in just 1 hour 10 minutes haha ![Front volume magic and texture perm work in progress](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-10-1qc9j-m-966.webp) ![Hair at the final stage of the service](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-11-1q8hc-m-966.webp) ## Before & after: the finished texture perm Once the drying and styling were done, the stuffy old hair was gone lol and a clean texture perm style was complete. ![After photo of the texture perm following drying and styling](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-12-bx0jr-966.webp) ![Side view of the finished men's texture perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-13-18keu-966.webp) The front had just the right amount of volume thanks to the volume magic, not overdone, and it flowed naturally into the top, making the whole look much more polished haha ![Front volume revived by the volume magic treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-14-1jm93-966.webp) ![Style with a natural flow between the top and front](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-15-jretx-966.webp) Designer Yongtaek shaped a style that suited my husband's look and head shape, and I get why so many people pick Recteur as their hair salon near Hapjeong Station. ![Front view of the finished hairstyle fitted to the head shape](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-16-1t7gp-966.webp) ![Final view of the calm, neat texture perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm-17-pawpw-966.webp) Whenever he skipped styling at home, his hair got so frizzy that the kids would burst out laughing asking what happened to dad's hair, so I'm relieved it's calm and neat now lol ## Final thoughts Watching my husband's stuffy, messy hair transform into something clean and stylish in just 1 hour 10 minutes made even me feel good about the visit. The salon's own private parking made driving there completely stress-free, and Designer Yongtaek's friendliness plus skill made the whole experience even more satisfying. If you're looking for a hair salon near Hapjeong that treats your hair with real care, I highly recommend visiting Recteur Seoul. ## Where it is - Recteur Seoul (렉터 서울) - 61 Jandari-ro, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 잔다리로 61 1층 - 37.5532274, 126.917407 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A0%89%ED%84%B0%20%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8/@37.5532274,126.917407,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mirror-menu-seoul/hapjeong-hair-salon-mens-texture-perm/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
