Down perm and gale cut before a wedding in Namdong, Incheon: Juno Hair

This is my boyfriend, Yamul. He likes to keep his hairstyle short and tidy, and with a relative's wedding coming up, he looked for a salon to get it trimmed.

He got a cut and a down perm, and the designer cut carefully and even trimmed his flyaways and eyebrows, so I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a men's hair salon in Guwol-dong.

Careful style consultation from the start

This time he was styled by designer Wonbin. Right at the start, Wonbin really thought through what style he wanted together with him. She carefully asked whether he wanted to keep his usual style clean and neat, or make a new change.

She considered his head shape and hair concerns as usual and proceeded with the cut and down perm.

Before shots, pre-cut

Before starting the real cut, we snapped a quick before photo — it had been a bit over a month since his last salon visit, so the sides were messy and overall a bit unkempt.

The finished hair, first look

Let me show you the finished style first — it came out this neat and clean. My girlfriend said the cut was so good, haha. Staff also kept bringing cold drinks and snacks during the process, so I could relax and recharge with a bit of sugar while getting it done.

Store atmosphere and waiting area

My girlfriend told me to take good photos, so I dutifully did my best even though it was a bit embarrassing. The treatment space was really spacious and clean. Prices are reasonable too.

Here's the wifi password.

There were a lot of people even on a weekday.

There was even a waiting area for kids. Looks like a good spot to visit as a family.

Down perm from front to sides to back

During the down perm, I sent photos to my girlfriend. The front, sides, and back were all done carefully and thoroughly. The shampoo was also wonderfully refreshing, and having the flyaways and eyebrows trimmed too was such a nice, thoughtful touch, haha.

Men's hair care tips from the designer

Let me show the finished hair again — still love it looking back. After the treatment, Wonbin also walked us through aftercare and how to use styling products.

Apply nutrient treatment while towel-drying after shampoo

To protect hair from heat damage from the dryer, while hair is still wet right after washing, you should apply an oil or moisture-type nutrient treatment mainly to the ends, working it through gently.

Dry from back to front, tousling as you go

The key to men's hair styling is volume at the roots! When drying your hair the first time, aim the airflow from back to front and tousle it as you dry — that keeps the hair from lifting and lets it fall neatly.

Finish before heading out with styling nutrient treatment or curl cream

Once drying is done, to tame frizz and add shine, spread wax, styling curl cream, or oil treatment thinly across your palms and lightly sweep it over the surface of the hair to smooth it into place.

Thanks to Yamul, I got to write up this great experience. From the careful style consultation before starting, to the kind and thoughtful service, the refreshing shampoo, and the flyaway and eyebrow trimming — this was a satisfying review of designer Wonbin at Juno Hair Guwol-dong Rodeo Branch. Recommended, haha.
