An office worker with very curly hair, who gets magic straightening every 4 to 6 months, had her roots straightened and her ends cut, and the stylist worked gently on her sensitive scalp without making small talk. With a 180-degree reclining massage shampoo chair and a pressure-point shampoo, Oreudeubi is worth a visit for anyone whose curls are a daily stress. ## Good to know - **Location**: 410 Wangsimni-ro, Centras shopping complex, Building i, 1F #118, Seongdong-gu, Seoul - **Service received**: Root magic straightening + cut - **Getting there**: The complex has many shops, so check the map beside the elevator - **Extras**: Your choice of tea (jasmine and others) and snacks, plus a shampoo chair that reclines a full 180 degrees with a massage function *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* This is Helio~ I have really severe frizz so I get it treated every four to six months, and this time I went to Oreudeubi hair salon near Sangwangsimni Station! 📌410 Wangsimni-ro, Centras Sangga i-dong 1F #118, Seongdong-gu, Seoul ## How curly the hair was, and how to find Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch ![Frizzy hair that doesn't hide even when tied up, before the straightening](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-01-qonyd-788.webp) Frizz that doesn't hide even when tied up haha. This is my hair before straightening 🫣 The salon was close to my office so it was easy to get to, and there were a lot of good restaurants nearby too, so I definitely want to visit again next time. There's a lot to see around Sangwangsimni Station. The salon is inside a building packed with a bunch of different shops, so it was hard to find!! There's a map next to the elevator, so check that!! ## The root straightening process at Oreudeubi: solution, then heat treatment ![Magic straightening solution applied to wet hair after shampooing](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-02-hmstn-900.webp) As soon as I arrived they shampooed my hair, and while it was still wet they applied the solution right away! This is right after it was applied haha. ![Plastic wrap placed over hair with solution while using the heat treatment machine](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-03-1hlx8-900.webp) After applying the solution and waiting a bit, they put a weirdly shaped plastic thing on my head and turned on the heat treatment machine, which felt subtly warm and sometimes actually hot haha. Watching it spin round and round was surprisingly good for zoning out ❤️🔥 ![The spinning heat treatment machine](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-04-1fsd2-900.webp) ![A drawer beside the styling seat with a hamster sticker on it](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-05-1wqjr-900.webp) There was a drawer right next to my seat with a cute hamster sticker on it, and I couldn't stop smiling to myself haha. ![Jasmine tea and small snacks provided at Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-06-1ray0-900.webp) ## Tea, snacks and the massage shampoo chair It's uncomfortable to move around while getting your hair done, so I loved that they gave me the tea I wanted and a variety of small snacks ㅜㅜ. That little milk snack is famously known as human feed, and eating it again after a long time was so good. My jasmine tea came out and I basically chugged it the moment it arrived 🌟 One really nice thing about Oreudeubi in particular is that when you go to have your hair washed, the reclining chair tilts back 180 degrees so it feels just like lying in a bed. The shampoo bed even has a massage function, so lying there felt like getting a massage and my whole body felt lighter 😍😍 And while washing my hair, the hairdresser also did some pressure-point massage. That part was so surprising and nice haha. ![A shampoo chair with a massage function](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-07-vb87k-900.webp) They also gave me the standard moon-shaped cushion every salon seems to have, which was comfy 🫠🫠 ![The moon-shaped cushion given at the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-08-11njy-900.webp) ## The flat iron stage, done gently on a sensitive scalp After applying the solution and blow-drying, it still didn't feel straight yet so I was nervous. After drying, the hairdresser carefully worked the flat iron from the roots outward, stroke by stroke 😀 At a previous salon where I got magic straightening, they yanked my hair so hard it hurt a lot and was really uncomfortable. This time, the hairdresser did it without any pain, so I could relax through the whole thing~ ![Flat ironing the hair straight from the roots during the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-09-s6nrx-1200.webp) Maybe because I got root magic straightening or maybe because my ends were just too damaged, they looked messy, so I ended up getting a cut too. ![A cut to trim the damaged ends along with the straightening](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-10-xxxgu-m-900.webp) ## The result: straight roots, neat all the way to the back of the head This is my hair after the straightening, what do you think!!!! ♡ Getting the cut too made it exactly the look I wanted, so I'm super satisfied~ The moment it was done I texted my mom to say I was finished, and she told me it looked so pretty 🤩🤩 Being told you look pretty never really gets old. ![The back of the hair, neatly straightened after the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-11-l2yfl-900.webp) I took a photo of the back of my head too, and you can see it's neatly straightened all the way through!!! Also, since I have a sensitive scalp, I asked them to be gentle during the shampoo and again during the flat ironing, and both requests were handled exactly as I asked, so I'm really, really satisfied. The hairdresser didn't say a single word during the whole service. Even that was perfect!! It really felt like they were focused entirely on my hair, so the whole thing ended comfortably and nicely 🥰 On the way home I was so happy with how pretty my hair looked that I took a ton of photos, even taking mirror shots in the subway station mirror the whole way home. ![A selfie taken after the straightening was finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair/sangwangsimni-magic-straightening-curly-hair-12-emo29-900.webp) Took a cute little photo to celebrate my hair turning out well haha Totally recommend this to anyone stressed out about frizz haha.
