# Hannam hair salon layered bob perm for a double crown: ONLY FOR YOU - By Dajeong (https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-back-booth-2/) - Written Aug 6, 2026 - Local places › Hair & beauty salons › Yongsan, Seoul - Sponsored: I received this service from the business and wrote this after my visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-back-booth-2/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seoul-back-booth-2/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/index.md) ## In short ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch is a hair salon in Hannam-dong, Yongsan, Seoul, at 70 Dokseodang-ro, 3rd floor. A customer whose bob had been stuck in the awkward growing-out stage for five years got a layered cut first, then a layered bob perm with magic setting, and the designer left the front section with two crowns curl-free. The next day the curl still held after only a blow-dry, cutting morning styling time down sharply. ## Good to know - **Location**: 70 Dokseodang-ro, 3rd floor, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch) - **Service received**: Layered cut + layered bob perm (magic setting) - **Hair condition**: Damaged from a perm three months earlier; protein treatment added during the service - **Design point**: No curl added to the front section with two crowns - **Service**: Asked which drink was preferred, then served tea *as written by the visitor on Aug 6, 2026* ## Five years stuck in the growing-out bob stage: why I booked a Hannam-dong hair salon Anyone growing out their hair will relate to this. The most awkward stretch is exactly that in-between stage — the 'beggar zone,' as we call it in Korean. I never managed to get past it and ended up stuck with a bob for five years straight..😭🥹 The length is awkward, the hair keeps getting heavier, tying it up looks weird, and leaving it down just looks messy... Especially in the mornings — I basically couldn't leave the house without using a flat iron, and I kept resenting how much time it ate up getting ready for work. So this time I told myself I'd actually switch to something low-maintenance, and while searching for a Hannam-dong hair salon I ended up booking ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch. I read through the reviews carefully too, and designer Youngseo had such high satisfaction ratings that I trusted the place right away. ## Inside ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch The moment I walked in, what struck me was how genuinely comfortable the atmosphere felt. ![Interior view of ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-01-l3532-900.webp) ![Inside the comfortable-feeling Hannam-dong hair salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-02-ui4yy-m-900.webp) The staff greeted me warmly, asked what kind of drink I'd like, and brought out tea — little touches like that quietly made me feel good. ![A cup of tea prepared before the service](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-03-1h0g5-900.webp) It might sound like nothing much, but details like these really shape the first impression. ## What I asked for in the consultation: less curling-iron time and hiding my side cheekbones Before starting the actual service, designer Youngseo asked in detail what my biggest concerns were. I told her I'm planning to keep growing my hair out, so I wanted something as low-maintenance as possible, and that I wanted to cut down on the time I spend on the flat iron every morning. ![Hair in its bob state before the service](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-04-hw9vm-900.webp) ![Hair condition checked during the consultation](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-05-qlew8-900.webp) ![Side profile before the service, at the awkward bob length](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-06-11vmy-900.webp) I also honestly mentioned that my side cheekbones make my face look wider, so I wanted a style that would naturally soften that😅 She went through the reference photos I brought one by one, checking them against my face shape and hair condition and explaining what would actually suit me — and I remember thinking, 'oh, this is a real consultation.' What I really liked was that she wasn't just pushing whatever was trendy, but factoring in my overall style and concerns to set the direction. ## My earlier layered bob perm that went wrong Honestly, I have almost no good memories with layered bob perms. A few months back I tried one and the curl came out way too strong, which only made my face shape issue more obvious — I ended up so unhappy with it that I chopped it into a short cut. ![An old perm photo with curl that came out too strong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-07-dae9y-m-900.webp) *ㅠㅠㅠㅠ* Even after the curl mostly fell out, I still ended up using the flat iron every single day... So this time, secretly, I was quite worried about 'what if it fails again?' 🥹 ## Layered cut first, magic setting second Designer Youngseo explained, step by step while looking at my hair and cut line, why my previous perm hadn't worked out. For my face shape, she said doing a layered cut first would let the curl fall much more naturally, so she did the cut before starting the perm. We decided to go with a magic setting perm. After applying the solution, she checked my hair's condition and said the reaction was coming up faster than expected, so she wouldn't need to do a long heat treatment. Watching her make real-time calls based on how my hair was actually responding was really impressive. On top of that, since my previous perm was only about 3 months old and my hair still had some damage, she made sure to add plenty of protein treatment along the way to minimize further damage. ![Magic setting service in progress with protein treatment added](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-08-19orw-900.webp) What I liked best was that she stayed attentive from start to finish. She kept checking in about whether I was uncomfortable and kept adjusting the curl direction and volume throughout, so I could relax through the whole service. ## The finished layered bob perm And the result... it's genuinely been a while since I got a perm I actually liked. ![Front view of the finished layered bob perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-09-1o5wq-900.webp) ![Finished layered bob perm with naturally falling curl](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-10-1cfxn-1200.webp) The curl wasn't overdone at all — it fell just naturally, exactly the vibe I wanted. The second I saw it I thought, 'ah, this one's a win!' ### Why the front section with two crowns got no curl I have two crowns at the front of my hairline, so if the curl isn't handled well right there it actually ends up looking even messier. ![Bangs area with no curl added](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-11-ehkhs-900.webp) ![Front hair condition at the double-crown area](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-12-xbkoz-900.webp) She decided that skipping curl in that particular area would look far more natural, and that's exactly what she did! ![Side line of the perm designed around hair characteristics](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-13-1nuwm-900.webp) What satisfied me most was that she didn't apply the same treatment across the board — she designed it specifically around my hair's quirks. ## Washing and drying it at home the next day I washed and dried my hair the next day and was even more surprised. In the past, my hair would look great at the salon but never turn out the same once I got home — this time the curl held up naturally with just a blow-dry. ![Curl still holding up after drying at home the next day](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-14-1t3zr-900.webp) The routine that used to take about 20 minutes with drying plus flat-ironing has shrunk dramatically, so my mornings feel a lot more relaxed these days. ![Bob style styled with just a blow-dry, no flat iron](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-15-81xtq-900.webp) It also naturally frames the sides of my face, so my face shape looks a bit softer than before — I kept catching myself glancing in the mirror 😎😎 ![Layered curl framing the side of the face](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-16-pra8y-m-900.webp) ## Who this layered bob perm suits If you're stressed out from being stuck in the bob-growing-out stage, or you're looking for a low-maintenance style, ![Service area at ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-17-1bk9f-900.webp) ![Seating and mirrors at the Hannam-dong hair salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-18-1mkrz-m-900.webp) ![Waiting area at ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-19-2v49n-m-900.webp) ![Interior decor detail in the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-20-1aqh2-900.webp) ![Overall atmosphere inside the Hannam-dong hair salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-21-17ax6-900.webp) it might be worth getting a consultation at ONLY FOR YOU Hannam Main Branch, a Hannam-dong hair salon. ![Back view of the finished layered bob perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-22-7eka7-900.webp) ![Mid-length bob style with natural curl](https://img.superchart.com/images/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm/hannam-only4u-layered-bob-perm-23-jiyhn-900.webp) If you're specifically considering a layered bob perm, I'd really recommend getting a thorough consultation about a design that suits your face shape and hair condition.
