Nowon hair salon kids' straight perm and cut for wavy hair: Yeum Hair

"Mom, make my hair shiny and smooth like yours." My daughter suddenly said this to me one day. She's naturally wavy so her hair gets frizzy fast, and honestly, brushing and tying it up every morning was a lot of work for me too — I figured it was time to get it sorted out. I was trying to think of where to go when I remembered Yeum Hair, which I used to go to often back when I lived in Byeollae. This time I booked the Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch, since it's close to home.

Where is Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch, and where do you park?

Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch is located right in front of Nowon District Office.

The building does have parking, but from what I've seen it's often full, so personally I'd recommend using the Nowon District Office parking lot right nearby.

The parking lot is fairly spacious and the fees aren't too much of a burden, which made visiting with my kid much more convenient.

When you're taking a kid to a salon, inconvenient parking can wear you out before you even start, so the easy access here was a real plus.

Why our family has trusted Yeum Hair for years

I've actually gone to Yeum Hair really often over the years. I've been to several branches since I lived in Byeollae, and no matter which branch I visit, the salons are always clean and the designers' skills are reliably good, so I've always been satisfied. I'm the type who finds it hard to go back to a salon after one bad experience, but I've never really had a disappointing time at Yeum Hair, so I felt confident trusting them with my daughter's hair this time too.

First impressions of the second-floor salon

This was my first time at the Nowon District Office branch, and being on the 2nd floor, it felt more open than I expected.

The window-side seating had a nice open view and the whole space was neatly organized, which made a great first impression.

The shampoo area and head spa space were also well maintained, so I found myself wanting to come back sometime just for a head spa. I came for my kid's hair, but honestly the space made me, the mom, want treatment too.

Starting a straight perm on a 7-year-old's wavy hair

Designer Sarang was in charge of my daughter's hair today. From the moment we met, she talked to my daughter warmly so she wouldn't feel nervous, and kept checking in throughout the process to make sure she was comfortable. Let's be honest, it's not easy for a 7-year-old to sit still in a salon chair for a long time.

But because everything was done at my daughter's eye level, she relaxed pretty quickly even though she'd been a bit nervous at first. Before the straight perm, they started with an overall haircut. Just trimming the ends alone made her hair look much calmer.

She looked nervous at first, but as time went on she started snacking on cookies and waiting pretty comfortably.

Two designers worked together to keep it quick for a child

After the cut, they applied the perm solution and got the straight perm underway. Since she's a kid, sitting for a long time could be tiring, but two designers worked together in between steps to move things along quickly, so it went more smoothly than I expected.

After the solution was applied and left to sit, we moved over for a shampoo. When she came out from the shampoo, she suddenly said, "It feels so nice when the teacher does it," which made me laugh. She was clearly enjoying the salon experience more than I expected.

From frizzy waves to smooth, swishy hair

After the shampoo, they finished the straight perm by straightening each section with a flat iron. Her hair used to puff up and frizz on top because of the natural waves, and it would get messy again quickly even after brushing, but once the treatment was done, it looked completely different.

What do you think? For a 7-year-old, she suddenly has a bit of an "older sister" vibe. With her hair falling straight down, her face line looked more defined too, and most importantly, she really loved it.

Why mom was even happier with the result than the child

Honestly, the biggest thing I noticed after the straight perm was the next morning. Before, I'd have to brush out the frizz, tie it up, and fix it again after waking up, but now, just a few brush strokes and she's ready for school.

This turned out to be way more convenient than I expected. Especially in a house where mornings are already chaotic getting ready for school, simplifying my kid's hair routine makes a noticeable difference. She kept looking in the mirror the whole way home saying she felt prettier now. Seeing her happy made me feel proud too.
