Men's design perm with swept-up fringe at Gangnam salon Beorn Hair

My husband's hair really needed a reset, so we looked for a Gangnam-gu Office Station hair salon good with men's hair that's also close to his work, and ended up at Beorn Hair Cheongdam (비오른헤어 청담점). Designer Donghwa gave him a men's design perm and cut, and the result came out so much lighter and cleaner than before. He listened carefully to what we wanted and shaped it just right — here's how it went!

Beorn Hair Cheongdam is close enough to the station that transit was easy. If you're driving, don't navigate to the store address — enter 'Cheongdam-dong 40-10' instead! There's a valet booth right across from that address, and it's only about a minute's walk from there to the salon. Whether by transit or car, this place was easy to reach.

Inside Beorn Hair Cheongdam: interior and amenities

The interior of Beorn Hair Cheongdam felt clean and comfortable overall. The styling area had plenty of space, and there was a separate shampoo room, which made things easy to use.

There was also a separate waiting area, so I could sit comfortably while I waited with him. I especially liked all the greenery around — it kept the space feeling fresh and relaxed. The restrooms are inside the salon and separated for men and women, so it was easy to use them mid-service. They also had snacks ready for people waiting, and since I happened to be hungry, I was grateful for the bite!

Director Dong-hwa's experience and men's perm prices

Every designer at Beorn Hair Cheongdam reportedly has over 10 years of experience. My husband was seen by designer Donghwa for his men's design perm and cut that day.

Hair condition and consultation before the men's design perm

Before the service, my husband was over two months out from his last perm and almost a month past his last cut. His hair had grown out a lot and needed a trim, and the old perm and cut shape had gotten a bit frizzy and heavy-looking, which bothered us.

Designer Donghwa greeted us with his business card right away, and he was friendly from the start, which made the consultation easy. When we mentioned what bothered us, he immediately understood and planned to remove weight while keeping the volume. He also suggested sweeping the bangs slightly up instead of letting them fall down flat, so a bit of forehead would show. He took time to fully check the current hair condition and what we wanted before deciding on a direction, which I really appreciated.

How the men's design perm was done, scalp care included

Donghwa first trimmed away the heavy parts, cutting for a lighter look while keeping the volume alive. Even just from the cut, the frizzy areas were tidied up and the overall shape already looked much cleaner.

Beorn Hair Cheongdam also offers scalp clinic services, so they seem to pay close attention to the products they use. Watching from the side, I noticed the perm solution was applied in more careful, multi-step stages than what I'd seen at other salons. My husband, who usually has a sensitive scalp, said he felt no itching or stinging discomfort throughout the service.

Hair damage after a perm is always a concern too, but afterward his hair felt soft without much noticeable damage, which was another plus. He's sensitive-scalped, so perms always make me a little nervous, but this time the whole process, from start to finish, felt comfortable!

The finished men's design perm with a swept-up fringe

At the end, just as discussed at the start, he styled the bangs slightly swept up. Seeing the finished look, the frizzy, heavy feel from before was clearly gone.

Overall it was much lighter, but with the volume still alive, so the shape looked natural and clean. The slightly swept-up bangs suited him especially well. Looking at it, it felt familiar somehow, and then I realized — it was similar to the style he wore when we were dating, haha. It felt like we'd gone back to that time a little, which personally made me like it even more. He liked the finished style too, so we were both very happy with the result!
