Dongtan hair salon: men's first as-perm + side down perm, Juno Hair

I always thought hair salons were mostly a women's thing, but it turns out guys go way more often..? You need a cut at least once a month to keep short hair from looking messy...;; It was time for Gomdori's haircut, so I went looking for a place in Dongtan that's good with men's hair and ended up at Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch (준오헤어 동탄솔빛나루점). Let me share the details!

What's the atmosphere like at Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch?

Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch is on the 2nd floor of Jeongnim Plaza on Dongtansolbit-ro.

The moment we walked in, it felt like a café, not a hair salon! +_+ It's not the typical salon vibe at all. The space is really wide and airy, nothing stuffy about it, and the whole place has a book-café feel, haha

Is it a good salon for people waiting with a friend?

There's a wide selection of comics to read while you wait or while you're in the chair, and there's a Juno Café right there too, so you can sip a drink and relax~ You know how sometimes you tag along when a friend or partner gets their hair done?! Waiting is boring, but here you could happily hang out without getting bored, haha

How was the scalp massage at the shampoo station?

The shampoo area was cozy and nicely done too. They shampoo and give a scalp massage, and Gomdori said it felt amazing lol Salon scalp massages are love..💛 He went after work, and the pressure was just right, so he said his tiredness melted away. He says he'd come back just for the scalp massage, lol

How did the consultation for the men's as-perm go?

Gomdori's as-perm was handled by the men's hair specialist designer at Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch, and you could tell it was different from the very first consultation! Instead of just "please do this style," the designer carefully checked his face shape, head shape and even his usual styling habits, then suggested a 1:1 custom style~~ When I mentioned his side hair always puffs up, the designer recommended doing a down perm to fix that together with the as-perm, so we trusted them and went for it!

Gomdori always sticks to the same style and had long wanted a change, but he wasn't sure what would suit him and worried it might look bad,,, As expected, leaving hair to the experts is the best 👍🏻

How does the designer do the cut?

Even the cut before the as-perm wasn't just a simple trim. The designer kept checking the overall balance and refined the details, and their hands were truly professional!! The result wasn't over the top and suited Gomdori's face shape naturally, giving him a much more polished look

Can you have a drink during the treatment?

There's a good variety of drinks too, so choosing is half the fun,, and a snack while getting your hair done is just the best. It was late afternoon, so Gomdori picked orange juice instead of coffee, and got his sugar fix while the perm rods went in~

How did the as-perm and side down perm turn out?

It was Gomdori's first as-perm, so we were really excited to see how it would come out ❣️ The side down perm was a must, so they did that together. It was neatly tidied without looking flattened, and we were very happy~~ He says morning styling takes much less time now, and it's convenient that the style holds without extra effort.

The as-perm curl stays natural without being overdone, so it looks really polished! Best of all, the designer was super kind and explained everything well.

Do they show you how to style it at home?

The designer at Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch explained everything in detail, from the blow-drying direction to how to apply wax and what to watch out for when styling, which I loved, haha I think it would be especially helpful for people who aren't good at styling their hair!

• Blow-drying direction
• How to apply wax
• What to watch out for when styling

The back view got transformed super neatly too 👏🏻 It's a really natural perm and suits Gomdori's face and head shape, so next time I'll have to ask for an as-perm again, lol
