Wangsimni hair salon summer bob that dries curled under: Uahan Meori

As the weather got hotter, my hair grew out so fast! It felt so stuffy that I went to Uahan Meori (우아한머리) Wangsimni Branch for a nice, cool bob cut. I was a little nervous since it had been a long time since I cut my hair short, but I was really happy with the result. Designer Chaea was careful from the consultation through the cut, and I left in a great mood with exactly the style I wanted.

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

Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch is on the 1st floor of Wangsimni Centras Building H, 410 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. It is open Tue–Sun 10:00–20:00 and closed on Mondays. You can use the Centras building parking lot.

It is close to Wangsimni Station, so it was easy to get to and to book. Parking is available too, so I got there very comfortably on this hot day. I followed the parking directions on Naver Map, and they were so well explained that I found the building quickly!

• Just before Doseon High School, turn into the apartment parking lot on the right (shared facility for the shops)
• Press the call button and say you are here for 'Uahan Meori', and the barrier opens
• Right after entering, take the emergency exit on the right up, then press 1F in the elevator to reach the Uahan Meori floor

The parking lot is spacious and bright, and the elevator connects right to it, which was super convenient.

What is Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch like inside?

The salon has a white-toned interior and bright lighting, so it felt clean and pleasant. The stylish feel hit me the moment I walked in, and the seats are spaced generously, so I could relax during the treatment.

It was a Sunday and there were a lot of customers. I recommend making a reservation, definitely!

How does the bob cut consultation with designer Chaea work?

Before cutting, Chaea and I talked thoroughly about the length I wanted, the volume and even my styling habits. It's summer, so I wanted something very cool and light, with volume kept and easy to maintain. My dream hair was Song Hye-kyo's hairstyle in the drama Encounter (남자친구), haha.

What I loved is that Chaea doesn't just cut the length; she recommends length and layers based on your usual styling habits and hair condition. It felt less like a haircut and more like a hair consultation, haha. She explained that she designs the cut so it falls nicely with just washing and drying, which made me even more excited.

During the cut she checked the length from time to time and asked my opinion, and she checked the left-right balance really carefully. You could feel she cared about every detail. First she cut the overall shape, then came the shampoo, and as a little bonus, a moisture clinic for some healing, healing.

After the shampoo, she carefully checked whether any parts needed more trimming.

Bob cut before and after: how did it turn out?

I really liked the bob I ended up with at Uahan Meori.

Before: messy, awkwardly grown-out hair

After: neat and fresh

The volume was just right, neither heavy nor light, and the ends were neatly finished, giving a much more refined look. My face line looked tidier too, so my overall image felt fresher.

Does the bob curl under at home without blow-drying?

The bob Chaea cut curled under naturally at home with just washing and drying. Trying it myself at home made me even more satisfied. The shape stayed pretty even without separate blow-drying. Spending less time on my hair every morning was another thing I was really happy about. ★

After the cut she also explained in detail how to style it. She kindly covered the blow-dry direction and even tips for keeping volume, so I'm keeping the style up at home without trouble. The service was never pushy from start to finish, so I could spend my time comfortably.
