Nowon hair salon damaged-hair C-curl perm + Modos clinic: Yeum Hair

Why a layered C-curl perm and Modos clinic for damaged mid-length hair?

I got a mid-length layered cut with a C-curl perm, plus a Modos clinic treatment, at Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch. My hair was so damaged that the lower part drooped and looked heavy, and the top fell flat with no volume at all, so I went looking for a salon with good reviews and found Yeum Hair. Here's my honest review :)

A mid-length layered C-curl perm means adding layers to shoulder-length hair so it feels light and lively, then perming it so the ends curl gently inward. Modos clinic is a treatment that, as I understand it, fills the empty spaces inside the hair strand with protein to make hair stronger and more heat-resistant.

Where is Yeum Hair Nowon, and where can you park?

Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch is at 447 Nohae-ro, Unit 201, 2nd floor, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea, about a 3-minute walk from Exit 7 of Nowon Station. The extra parking charge is ₩1,000 per 15 minutes. The building has its own lot, but it's small, so I'd suggest using the district office or a public car park.

How does the consultation at Yeum Hair work?

You can book through Naver Booking, and I'd recommend booking ahead if you can. Personal hair consulting specialists are always on site, so whichever designer you book, you get a one-on-one diagnosis and consultation based on your head shape, face shape, hair condition, overall vibe and lifestyle. A Nowon hair salon I'd recommend for careful, friendly consultations.

After the consultation, we decided to add a root perm to the mid-length layered C-curl perm to bring up the volume, and to do the Modos clinic alongside it to prevent damage.

Damaged mid-length hair before the perm

An awkward mid-length cut with sagging layers. The lower part was badly damaged, dry and straggly, hanging down every which way, and I couldn't even run my fingers through it. The top also drooped limply with almost no volume.

Results of the C-curl perm and Modos clinic

After the layered C-curl perm, the lower part of my hair felt much lighter, and thanks to the root perm the top had volume again. The look was neat yet feminine. It looked natural and flattered my face shape, so it feels like an easy, low-pressure style to try.

Maybe thanks to the Modos clinic, the dryness eased and combing became easier. My hair looked springy and calm, and it stayed soft to the touch even after blow-drying.

Who a mid-length layered C-curl perm suits

• People worried about their face looking big
• People whose hair sticks out and is hard to manage
• People who like a natural daily style

How to care for a C-curl perm and root perm at home

For the C-curl, blow-dry while turning only the ends inward, and a little essence or oil helps the curl last. You can keep the style without a curling iron, and that easy upkeep seems to be the biggest plus.

For the roots, lift them with your hand and dry with just a little heat at a time, and the effect really comes alive. Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch also explained the care routine in detail so the result lasts as long as possible.
