Gwangmyeong salon men's down perm before an oral exam: Maple Hair

Here is a place near Gwangmyeong Sageori Station where you can get styled before an important day: Maple Hair Gwangmyeong Sageori Station Branch. I heard Maple Hair uses eco-friendly products, and that what you spend goes toward regular sponsorship of infants and children, so it feels like meaningful spending. When I visited in person, care went into every cut and treatment, and I was really quite happy with it.

What is the atmosphere like?

The inside of Maple Hair Gwangmyeong Sageori Station Branch left an impression: clean, yet warm. I could feel the relaxed mood of the salon, and the stylist's friendly explanations during the treatment improved my understanding of hair and scalp protection. It looked like a good fit for men, women and special occasions alike.

This is the Maple Hair menu. You can choose from many services, from perms to clinic treatments and dyeing, so it is easy to get your hair done to your taste. I went with a side-and-back down perm.

What hairstyle did I ask for before my oral exam?

With an oral exam coming up next Saturday, I asked Maple Hair Gwangmyeong Sageori Station Branch for a neat look. They stored my belongings separately before I sat down, and once I put on the gown and took my seat, they asked how I wanted my hair done.

This is my hair before the treatment. I had my last down perm three weeks ago, and just from the hair growing in at my neck you can tell it's time, right? All I could think about was getting transformed into a tidy look with a down perm.

They ask about your sideburn length during the cut

During the cut, the Maple Hair staff asked me how long I wanted my sideburns. I usually like them long, so I asked for long.

How do they care for hair and scalp before the down perm?

Before the down perm, Maple Hair applied a protein for the hair and a scalp protectant spray. I appreciated the heads-up that it might feel cold. After that they used a steamer to add moisture to the scalp and hair.

Drinks and snacks while you wait

There was a range of drinks and snacks, like peppermint tea, glutinous rice crackers, mini yakgwa (honey cookies), coffee and aloe juice. I wanted something mild, so I ordered lukewarm peppermint tea. Thanks to that, I didn't get bored while waiting under the steamer.

It was before dinnertime and I was hungry, so the crackers raised my blood sugar.

It was the kind of sweetness that puts you in a good mood.

What is the side-and-back down perm process?

At Maple Hair Gwangmyeong Sageori Station Branch, they wrapped my ears in plastic before the down perm to protect the skin. I think this is an advantage that sets Maple Hair apart from other salons. It protected my skin from the perm solution during the treatment, which I liked.

Then comes the heat treatment. The machine's temperature was just right, so the down perm went by without any discomfort.

They also brought me an arm pillow to rest on comfortably. Thanks to that, I could use my smartphone comfortably while waiting.

Finishing with 2 kinds of nutrition before rinsing

Before rinsing my hair, they applied nutrition to it. They apply 2 kinds, which are said to help restore hair damaged by the down perm. The shampoo chair was comfortable too, with no neck strain, so I was really satisfied all the way to the end of the treatment.

Was the men's down perm result satisfying?

An important day is waiting next week, and I really liked how my men's down perm came out in a neat, clean gail style (a tidy cut with short sides and back). Now I understand why it is loved as a top Gwangmyeong salon. The designer carefully checked my scalp condition and hair direction as she worked, so styling is much easier when I blow-dry on my own at home.

If you want to end today on a slightly special note, I recommend a visit to Maple Hair Gwangmyeong Sageori Station Branch. You should be able to spend a relaxed time in its mood-filled atmosphere.
