Hwaseong hair salon for sleek straightening after a bad perm: Juno Hair

A while ago, I wanted a jelly perm so badly that I went to another salon in Dongtan—and had a truly proper hair disaster^^…

They cut my hair in chunks, and the perm came out uneven on each side. The jelly perm I wanted vanished somewhere, and Tissuemom ended up with an ajumma perm instead, hahaha sobbbbbㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

After my hair turned into that, I absolutely had to wear it tied up whenever I went out.

I kept thinking, this cannot go on—I’m traveling, and I can’t walk around with this hair. There was a salon where Tissuedad had previously gotten men’s volume straightening plus a down perm, and I loved the result, so this time I personally! went to Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch for women’s straightening. But my Da Nang trip was leaving the very next day, so I thought, if my hair gets ruined again, I’m seriously in trouble...

Luckily, I’m here to introduce the Hwaseong hair salon that revived even my hopeless hair this time.

Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch location and parking

The address is 54 Dongtansolbit-ro, 2nd floor, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Hours are 10:00–21:00, and you can use the building’s underground parking. After your appointment, tell the salon your vehicle number and they’ll give you a parking voucher to submit!

Taming a bad perm with sleek-perm-style straightening

I thought I would be beyond satisfied if they could simply rescue my ruined hair, but after consulting with Designer Sia, she gave me more than pin-straight hair. She created a style that suited me: straightening with ends that curve slightly inward, like a sleek perm.

The service began at 10 and was finished before 12, so it took less than 2 hours.

They regularly checked whether I was uncomfortable, and throughout the service they checked my hair’s current condition and explained it accurately, so the time passed much faster than I expected.

The long-awaited BEFORE → AFTER

Before, my perm made my hair stick out in every direction and look frizzy overall, but after the straightening it was definitely calmer. It wasn’t pressed super flat or stuck completely to my head, either—it controlled the overall frizz while letting my hair fall naturally!

Most of all, what I wanted was easy-to-manage hair. Just washing and drying it in the morning leaves it so much neater than before, and I’m moved beyond wordsㅠ Thinking about how I wore my hair tied up every day for a while after that perm disaster... this is definitely a success, right?

Spacious seating and thoughtful salon atmosphere

Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch is right there when you get off the elevator. It uses the entire second floor, making it one of the particularly spacious and pleasant hair salons in Dongtan.

The main waiting area has a very large table plus soft chairs with backrests, so even if someone comes with you, they can wait comfortably. Truly one of the best things about it—according to someone who once waited 3 hours while Tissuedad got his hair done.

Unlike salons that put all your belongings into one standard locker, there are separate lockers for belongings and valuables. Women can leave accessories or valuables more safely, which helped me feel more at ease while getting my hair done.

Even the wall leading to the restroom is carpeted rather than finished with ordinary tiles or wallpaper, which seemed to noticeably reduce the risk of children getting hurt while walking by.

The restroom interior is decorated like a hotel, so it’s nice for photos, and there is also a diaper-changing station. I think visitors coming to the salon with a baby can get their hair done without worry.

White Zone, Brown Zone, and VIP room

As I mentioned, Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch is one of the larger hair salons in Dongtan, and its service area is divided into two spaces.

White Zone

This is the White Zone, usually used on weekends. There are two shampoo areas, with multi-seat, two-person, and private rooms.

The White Zone’s waiting seats and service stations are all decorated in white, just like the name. It is quite spacious, so you don’t have to feel cramped during your appointment; even a long service should be comfortable.

Brown Zone

This is the Brown Zone at Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch, which they say is mainly used on weekdays! I visited on a weekday morning and received my service here. The Brown Zone also has spacious waiting and service areas, plus one special point: a separate VIP room.

When Tissuedad got his hair done before, I thought I wanted to get mine done here too. Luckily, I received my service in the VIP Zone, and for Tissuemom—a capital-I MBTI type—it was the best space because other people could barely see me.

The Brown Zone’s shampoo rooms are also divided into private and two-person rooms. Usually, if there is no one else around, one person uses them.

The open mixing room and retail products

The mixing room is in the middle, dividing the White Zone and Brown Zone! Have you ever seen an open mixing room at a Dongtan hair salon? I’ve lived in Dongtan for more than 4 years, and Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch is the only one I’ve seen with an open mixing room. Customers can directly see everything from the products being used to the mixing process, which feels more reassuring.

Products sold separately by Juno Hair are also displayed neatly, so being able to buy hair products directly at Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch if you need them seems like another advantage.

Visiting with babies and dogs

Kids’ Zone

Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch is said to be the first hair salon in Dongtan to create a kids’ room.

Inside, there are soft mats, a variety of books and toys, and even a TV, so people visiting the salon with a baby may be able to relax a little more while receiving hair services.

Dogs welcome

Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch is a dog-friendly hair salon in Dongtan! However, when it is busy, I recommend using a dog stroller or carrier because dogs could eat hair or ingest spilled chemicals! Apparently, the director’s dog visits sometimes too.

Bad-perm rescue, and a successful style too

Me, who went for a jelly perm before and ended up with hair cut in chunks plus an uneven perm on both sides, then wore my hair tied up for a while...^^ I visited this time thinking, I just hope it can be fixed without being obvious. Not only was it rescued, but the style turned out perfectly too.

It was easy to manage, and my hair looked so much neater in photos than before, so I’m truly satisfied. If, like me, you find your hair difficult to manage because of a perm or natural waves, or you want to tidy it naturally, I super-super-super recommend Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch when looking for a Dongtan hair salon.

There are even discount benefits when you pay with a membership, so for anyone who hasn’t settled on a Dongtan hair salon yet, I super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super recommend Juno Hair Dongtan Solbitnaru Branch, which does both men’s and women’s hair well—and thaaaat’s it!
