Dongtan hair salon square-jaw short cut for a 50s mom: Juno Hair

I think I've finally found a Dongtan hair salon I can settle into for good! It's Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch (준오헤어 동탄SRT역점).

Honestly, with brand-name salons, satisfaction varies a lot by designer even within the same branch, so it was never easy to commit. But the vice director (Buwon-jang) I met at Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch was spot on with the styling, from the cut to the perm. I came away so happy that next time I'll go back on my own dime.

Why a 50s mom with a square jaw went for a summer short cut instead of a mid-length

My mom is in her 50s, with a small face but a square jaw! So she always stuck to a mid-length cut that covers the jaw a little. This summer, though, she went bold at Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch: a short cut plus volume magic. The result is an elegant hairstyle for a woman in her 50s.

Location and interior of Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch

Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch is right in front of Dongtan Station, so it's super easy to get to. Lotte Department Store Dongtan is attached too, which makes it a nice spot to freshen up your mood after a hair appointment!

The interior is really classy, and there's a kids' play room too. It's great that children have a safe place to wait while mom and dad get their hair done!

How did the short cut consultation for a woman in her 50s go?

My mom doesn't go to the salon very often, so she wanted a style that's easy to manage.

The vice director took the time to go through photos with us during the consultation. After that came the shampoo, and it felt so good! Mom said just having her hair washed melted her tiredness away~~~

With hair in your 50s, adding tons of layers or cutting too short can actually make it look like there's no volume. The vice director paid attention to Mom's hair condition, face line and even her parting, kept the top from going too flat, and reflected our wishes as much as possible when cutting ❤️

Short cut for thick, curly hair: the cut alone was satisfying

What I liked most about the treatment at Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch was the cut! Just the cut made her hair feel lighter and her look more refined.

The cut took longer than I expected, but because it was cut so carefully, like a work of art, her hair didn't stick up even before the perm, and the cut alone was satisfying.

My mom has lots of hair and it's curly, so a bad cut makes it flip and stick out everywhere. Yet somehow it was cut so prettily to suit her face shape.

Hair spa before volume magic

Before the volume magic, they did a hair spa that's said to draw out heavy metals. Afterward her hair felt so soft and smooth that I thought it'd be nice to get it regularly.

Getting your hair done takes a long time, but I loved that it gave me a chance to have a long, cozy chat with Mom for the first time in a while!

How about a beauty day with your parents as a date idea in Dongtan?! haha

How were the smell and irritation of the volume magic solution?

Next came the volume magic. The solution was so gentle that my mom, who has sensitive skin, said it didn't smell at all and she loved it.

Does the designer you booked do the treatment themselves?

There was one point that really touched me! What always disappointed me a little at brand-name salons is that I'd pay extra to book a specific designer, but when I got there, a trainee did most of the work and the designer I booked only did the start and the finish 🥲 This time, at Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch, trainees only helped with things like shampooing and the spa, and the vice director did the cut and treatments that involve design almost entirely herself.

Even when a trainee helped for a moment, she told us up front, which made me trust her even more.

I'll finish it myself all the way to the end, so you don't need to worry.

Small differences like this really make satisfaction so much bigger. This time I was truly delighted 🤍

If you're getting a cut or perm in Dongtan, I highly recommend the vice director at Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch!!!!!

Why this works as a summer hairstyle for women in their 50s

With the short cut plus volume magic, she looks well put together without looking overdone. Too heavy and hair looks stuffy in summer; too light and it can look flat. The vice director hit the perfect middle.

It looks easy to style too, so the practical satisfaction was big as well. Even without seeing her face, isn't it the very definition of chic?

They also set out snacks while you wait. Isn't the teddy bear iced Americano just too cute?

I'm so happy to have found a Dongtan salon worth settling into after so long! I hope you find your best-ever hair at Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch too ❤️👍
