Wangsimni hair salon 1h10m root dye before a funeral: Uahan Meori

Why I went to a Wangsimni hair salon for a root touch-up

Today I booked through Naver and went to Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch (우아한머리 왕십리센트라스점), a hair salon in Wangsimni, for a root dye. Touch-ups every single month are exhausting and annoying, but I'm happy for a while afterward, so what can you do. Booked on Naver and off I went!!

I heard that at Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch, the director is a former Juno Hair training manager, and top-class designers from places like Juno Hair and Park Seung-chul handle the treatments.

Where is Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch, and where do you park?

For parking, turn into the apartment parking lot on the right just before you reach Doseon High School (it's a shared facility for the shops), press the call button and say you're here for Uahan Meori.

Opening hours and services at Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch

According to the info I captured from Naver, the salon opens at 10 a.m., closes at 8 p.m. and is closed every Monday. It also offers hair spa, scalp clinic, men's specialty/barber shop services, and late-night hours.

What's the atmosphere inside the salon?

The inside of Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch is spacious and tidy. My appointment was at 10:30 and the salon opens at 10, and there were already plenty of people getting their hair done early in the morning. The modern interior keeps everything clean-looking.

The windows are huge, so you can see the view outside nicely. It's a place where you can get your hair done in a relaxed mood.

How did the root dye go?

Today I was getting my root dye from a designer at Uahan Meori.

Not washing my hair before coming for the dye is our little secret, okay?

By the way, at Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch you can get a discount with a VIP membership. The discount differs depending on the amount, so keep that in mind.

First, they protect the scalp with a scalp protector. The designer was so kind that it made my day. All the staff at Uahan Meori are friendly. Just like the name of the shop ("elegant hair"), everyone is elegant, elegant!

The root dye was applied carefully, matched to the tone of my underlying hair. The hair around the ears, which is the first place color fades, got even more careful, thorough application.

How long does the root dye take?

They told me the root dye at Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch would be done in 1 hour 10 minutes. I had to go to a funeral today, so I asked when it would finish, and they said 1 hour 10 minutes~~ Fast~ fast~~

While the dye sets

Once the dye was applied thoroughly, it was waiting time. Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch has a bar table in front of a big picture window, and that's where I waited. It was a nice spot because I could look at the view outside.

They asked me to pick a drink from coffee, tea or juice, and I chose apple juice. I'd come out without eating anything that morning, so coffee was out of the question.

I sat there for about 30 minutes, then the designer checked whether the color had taken, we waited about 3 more minutes, and then I headed to the shampoo room.

Shampoo and a flat-iron finish

Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch has as many as 3 shampoo stations, so it's comfortable to use. They scrub the dye out and rinse it very cleanly, which felt so refreshing. The shampoo was bubbly, lathered up nicely, and finished with a treatment.

They also give a scalp massage, which blows headaches away. Ahh, so good.

Then comes the blow-dry to finish. When I said I had to go to a funeral, they elegantly gave me a flat-iron finish too, so I was ready to head out.

Was I happy with the root dye result?

I dyed it, yet my hair feels even healthier, or at least that's the vibe I get, haha. Uahan Meori says it doesn't use or mix in cheap products and uses premium perm solutions and dyes, so I'm totally satisfied. I've been gradually going lighter and I really like it. No hair worries for a while, la-la-la~

I recommend getting a trendy, elegant hair treatment at Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch, a hair salon in Wangsimni. The work is thorough, so it will be a choice you won't regret. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are kind, so a return visit is 100 percent a go. Have a lovely day today too^^
