## Why We Sought Out a Men’s Barbershop for a Long Face and Fuller Sides

My husband had been neglecting his hair, using being busy as an excuse. Every morning he would sigh at the mirror because it was sticking out in every direction, so I decided enough was enough. I took the hand of my husband, who had finally taken some vacation time, and went on a whirlwind search for a barbershop near Gangnam-gu Office Station. His face is somewhat long and the sides of his head are a little full, so when he went to a regular salon, he would come back with only the sides looking even puffier. After carefully narrowing down places that specialize exclusively in men’s hair, we booked Divers Barbershop Gangnam-gu Office Station Branch (다이버스 바버샵 강남구청역점).

The men’s salon we visited has building parking available, too! Parking is not easy to find in the middle of Gangnam and Seocho, after all.

Divers is located on B1 of SK Hub Blue at 342 Hakdong-ro. It is right in front of the subway station, so it is wonderfully accessible for anyone using public transportation as well.

There are several businesses on B1, so make sure you find your way carefully. Still, among all those shops, this one has an exterior that really stands out!

The moment we opened the door, both my husband and I automatically went, “Oh!” There was none of that dark, cramped feeling—just soft lighting and a modern furniture layout that stood out. My husband’s face brightened right away, saying he already felt pampered as soon as he walked in.

It honestly felt like we had stepped into a café with a lovely atmosphere.

## A Classic Cut and Full Down Perm Chosen Through Head-Shape Consultation

Once he sat down, the barber carefully checked my husband’s hair condition. The one-on-one head-shape consultation was exactly why this place stood out among the barbershops near Gangnam-gu Office Station.

Don’t men often sit in the salon chair unable to clearly explain the style they want, then just say, “Please do whatever you think is best”? Then disaster strikes: a long face looks even longer and the sides pop right up. My husband was always like that, too.

When my husband shared that he was concerned about his longer face, the barber pointed out that adding volume to the top indiscriminately could make it look longer. Instead, he recommended a classic cut and full down perm that would calmly press and direct the side and back hair, balancing the face with more width. The price and service combination also felt very reasonable.

We booked with the barber in charge.

Here is his fluffy, unruly before look. Haha.

## The Treatment Process, Naturally Smoothing Everything From the Lines

Once the cutting began in earnest, the lines from the nape of my husband’s neck to his sideburns became so clean and defined.

You could feel the care in every touch of the scissors and clippers. After the cut, the full down-perm solution was applied thoroughly according to the direction of his scalp. When a down perm goes wrong, the hair can stick flat against the head like seaweed and look terribly awkward, right? Here, they pressed it down while accurately accounting for the contours of his head, so it looked completely natural.

Even while drying his hair after the shampoo, they explained in simple, everyday language what angle to aim the airflow when he dries it himself at home, and how to take a coin-sized amount of product into his palm and apply it from the back first so it does not clump.

## The Finished Look Restored Balance to His Face Shape

When my husband stood up after everything was finished, he looked five years younger and so polished that I clapped without even thinking. His jawline and face, which had looked long before, had regained their overall balance.

My husband kept marveling as he ran his hand over his nape, where not a single stray hair remained. For men who want to be properly looked after while thoroughly addressing head-shape concerns, I think Divers Barbershop Gangnam-gu Office Station Branch is well worth trying. The barber said that, to create the style my husband truly wants, he should grow out his fringe for about four months. After getting his hair done here, my husband gave a thumbs-up and said he would definitely grow it out more and come back.
