Dongtan hair salon men's autumn swallow perm before dye: Juno Hair

What does a swallow perm look like as a men's autumn perm?

My husband went to Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch (준오헤어 동탄SRT역점) for a down perm and a swallow perm to welcome autumn. The swallow perm has such a naturally flowing curl that it's the kind of perm where people would say, "Sir, that's just a curling iron!" It's also known as the Choi Woo-shik perm, and it gives a youthful, cute look that I think suits most guys.

The change in vibe was so big that even I, just watching from the side, loved it. His hair had gotten shaggy and he wanted to cut it, but he really wanted an autumn-feeling hairstyle even more!

Seeing his hair this time, I thought the swallow perm is great for men who want an image change without it feeling heavy, just right for autumn.

Gray hair dye or perm first: which comes first?

At Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch, they advised doing the perm first and the dye later. Perming first is gentler on the hair and the dye color fades less, so we started with the perm.

That's a before photo. He'd grown it out for 2–3 months for the perm, so it's a total mess, haha. The back was starting to bend and looked scruffy. It was long and he had a lot of gray coming in, so we debated dyeing first, but after hearing the explanation above we did the perm first. We'll try the dye a week later.

He's at an age where a strong-curl perm like a baby perm feels like too much, so I asked for something as natural as possible but soft, and from the cut to the perm they gave him exactly the feel he wanted.

Process and time: from the cut to the down perm and swallow perm

The cut, down perm and swallow perm at Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch took about 2 hours. They did the cut first, then moved him to another seat for the down perm and swallow perm. Thanks to the careful spraying of scalp protector, his scalp didn't sting at all during the perm. They were really considerate.

The designer was fast too, so the cut and perm took around 2 hours! After finishing the perm they shampooed his hair and then checked the cut again. The scalp massage felt so good that my husband said he'd come back just for scalp care.

Down perm + swallow perm: a naturally flowing curl

It was only dried and it's already pretty!!! The natural curl gives him a stylish vibe without looking overdone! What I liked most about this swallow perm was the shape of the flow. You can tell he's had a perm, but the curl feels like it connects naturally rather than looking strong.

If you're searching for Dongtan Station hair salon reviews and are thinking about a men's autumn perm or want a soft perm, this curl feel might be a useful reference.

How do you style a swallow perm at home?

Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch also taught us how to style at home after the perm, and that was as good as the perm itself. It's pretty on the day you leave, but not knowing how to handle it at home is a bit awkward, right? They styled it with a non-sticky moisture curl cream, and even my husband, who never uses sticky cream, said it was fine.

They said thoroughly drying the down-permed part with cool air is good for scalp health. At home I scrunched and dried the permed part and dried the sides and back with cool air, and his hair came out as pretty as it did at the salon.

Is the men's autumn perm at Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch worth going back for?

The most satisfying part of this Dongtan salon visit was changing up my husband's look for autumn. A naturally flowing swallow perm plus a down perm gives a stylish yet neat feel! Once he gets his gray hair dyed a week later, his autumn hair prep will be complete. When I told them the hair I want next, they said to grow it out for about 4 months, so I'm planning to come back in 4 months for another style change.

Isn't the bear iced americano so cute? Haha. Besides the skill, parking is easy and it's really close to Dongtan Station SRT, so access is great. If you're looking for a hair salon near Dongtan Station, I recommend the designer at Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch!
