Designer Taekyung cut the back and side lines, used a down perm to flatten side hair that kept puffing out, then added a point perm for volume on top. The sides stayed calm while the top kept natural lift, making Geek Hair Wangsimni an easy pick for a low-maintenance men's style. ## Good to know - **Location**: 9 Majo-ro 1ga-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, 1st floor (about 137m from Wangsimni Station Exit 6) - **Getting there**: Wangsimni Station, Line 2 / Gyeongui-Jungang Line / Suin-Bundang Line, Exit 6 or 13 - **Hours**: Mon–Sat 10:00–20:00 / Sun 10:00–18:30 - **Parking**: 4 spaces behind the building; if full, the paid lot at Majang Public Sports Center - **Services received**: Cut + down perm + point perm (designer Taekyung) - **Discount**: 10% off when you pay with Naver Pay and write a review - **Payment**: Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupons and high fuel price relief funds accepted *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Men's hair after a down perm treatment at Geek Hair Wangsimni](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-01-saku2-1200.webp) Today I'm bringing you a review of Geek Hair Wangsimni, a men's hair salon in Wangsimni I'd recommend. This time I visited Geek Hair Wangsimni and got styled by designer Taekyung. ## Where is Geek Hair Wangsimni, and what are its hours? Geek Hair Wangsimni is on the 1st floor at 9 Majo-ro 1ga-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Come out of Wangsimni Station Exit 6 or Exit 13, head downhill, turn left at Hanshin Udon, and you'll spot Geek Hair about 30m ahead. Wangsimni Station is served by Line 2, the Gyeongui-Jungang Line, and the Suin-Bundang Line, and the salon is only about 137m from Exit 6, so it's pretty close to the station. - Hours: Mon–Sat 10:00–20:00 / Sun 10:00–18:30 - Parking: 4 spots behind the building; if full, use the paid lot at Majang National Sports Center ![Exterior of Geek Hair Wangsimni near Wangsimni Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-02-68y06-900.webp) Geek Hair Wangsimni is super close to Exit 6 of Wangsimni Station and was easy to find. ![Entrance signage of Geek Hair Wangsimni](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-03-fvayl-900.webp) For reference, both the Korean Livelihood Recovery Coupons and high oil price relief vouchers can be used here! ## Booking Geek Hair Wangsimni and the 10% Naver Pay discount ![Naver booking screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-04-1i8du-900.webp) I booked ahead through Naver!

The interior was tasteful and the space well organized, giving off a comfortable atmosphere for getting your hair done. It was neat but also had that modern salon feel, so I liked it from the first impression! ![Style consultation with designer Taekyung](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-09-1n1d5-900.webp) After arriving, I first consulted with designer Taekyung about the style I wanted. For men's hair, even the same down perm can turn out differently depending on hair texture or head shape, so he checked my current hair condition and consulted with the style I wanted in mind. This time I wanted something clean and natural rather than overly styled — easy to manage on a daily basis. ## Hair before the appointment: puffy sides, flat top Let me show you what my hair looked like before the treatment! ![Dry, unkempt men's hair before the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-10-9io46-m-900.webp) ![Side view of untidy hair before the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-11-x4d7f-900.webp) Overall my hair felt a bit dry and unkempt. ![Awkwardly grown-out lower back hair before the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-12-15k1s-900.webp) In particular, the lower back of my hair had grown out to an awkward length that looked messy. The side hair wasn't neatly trimmed either, so overall my head looked a bit puffy. So this time we decided to use a cut to clean up the overall lines, a down perm to calm the side hair, and a point perm to add natural volume on top. ![Prep before the cut begins](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-13-xvu2z-900.webp) ## Cut, then down perm, then point perm: how the men's style was done First came the cut. He trimmed the overall length and cleaned up the lines on the sides and back. ![Cutting the side and back hair lines](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-14-8rr6o-900.webp) ![Hair length trimmed by the cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-15-7u4eu-900.webp) Next, the down perm! So many guys have that problem of side hair sticking out. Even if you cut your hair perfectly neat, flyaway side hair can make the whole head look puffy — but the down perm pressed it down and it looked noticeably cleaner. It wasn't pressed so flat that it looked awkward, more like a natural calming effect, which I liked. ![Down perm being applied to the side hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-16-scony-900.webp) After the down perm calmed the sides, we moved on to the point perm. If you only do a down perm, the whole head can look too flat, but adding natural volume on top shaped the hair much more nicely. It wasn't an overly curled style — more of a natural volume boost — so it seemed good for everyday men's hair too. ![Point perm being applied to the top hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-17-e5s3t-900.webp) They gave me a drink too, haha. ![Drink provided during the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-18-18xdd-900.webp) With the side hair pressed calm and the top keeping its volume, the overall balance got much better. ## Before and after: how the side hair and top volume changed ![Finished men's hair after cut, down perm, and point perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-19-1rynj-900.webp) Finally done! After the cut, down perm, and point perm together, the whole vibe was clearly different from before. What I liked most was definitely the side hair. The part that used to stick out was now calm, making my whole head look much neater, and the natural volume on top kept it from looking flat. Best of all, it wasn't overly styled — it's a men's hairstyle that's easy to maintain day to day. ![Calm side hair and volume-boosted top after the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-20-vhj0w-900.webp) What I liked most of all was how neatly the lower back of my hair was cleaned up! That part used to look messy before the treatment, but after the cut the line was sharp and it looked much tidier. ![Before and after comparison of the back hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-21-ekh9v-900.webp) ![Before and after comparison of the back view after the down perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-22-z1ui5-900.webp) Can you see the before and after difference?! The back view especially changed so much that just cleaning up the back of my hair alone made this treatment really satisfying. ## Is Geek Hair Wangsimni worth it for a men's down perm? ![Overall finished style at Geek Hair Wangsimni](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-23-1qe9b-m-900.webp) This time I visited designer Taekyung at Geek Hair Wangsimni and got ✔️ a cut ✔️ a down perm ✔️ a point perm, and overall I was really happy with it. If you're looking for men's hair or a down perm in Wangsimni and your side hair tends to stick out, I'd recommend getting a down perm along with your cut. Pressing the side hair down neatly while keeping natural volume on top made the whole style look much more put together. It's also close to Wangsimni Station, so accessibility was decent, and after consulting with designer Taekyung about the style I wanted, the result was satisfying.

A little bit of TMI... while I was there getting my hair done, I happened to run into two influencers, lol. Guess this is a salon a lot of influencers come to... haha (surprising) ![After the salon visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm-24-6snjo-m-900.webp) ## Where it is - Geek Hair Wangsimni (긱헤어 왕십리점) - 9 Majo-ro 1ga-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 마조로1가길 9 1층 - 37.5604483, 127.0399392 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B8%B1%ED%97%A4%EC%96%B4%20%EC%99%95%EC%8B%AD%EB%A6%AC%EC%A0%90/@37.5604483,127.0399392,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-afternoon/geek-hair-wangsimni-mens-down-perm-point-perm/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
