With the hot, humid weather dragging on, my hair kept puffing up in every direction, and it was seriously stressful catching sight of it in the mirror every time ㅠㅠ To tidy up my style and get a bit of a mood reset, I searched for a salon near Hapjeong Station known for good volume magic straightening and went to check it out.

Why a humid summer called for a trip to Pieum Hair in Hapjeong

This time I visited 'Pieum Hair,' a salon with really excellent access from Hapjeong Station.

Since it's right near Mecenatpolis, the route works out perfectly if you want to get your hair done and then go shopping or on a food date! It's easy to find even in the middle of the city, and the surrounding infrastructure is so well set up that I felt good the whole way there. 🌿

Inside Pieum Hair: a bright salon with a puppy mascot

The moment I stepped into Pieum Hair Hapjeong Main Branch, the bright, clean interior immediately caught my eye.

And here's the real heart-melting point of this place! A cute dog mascot greets you warmly. 🐶 Sitting in a salon chair for a long time can sometimes feel boring or stiff, but watching this cutie made my heart melt into total relaxation.

If you love animals, you'll feel pure healing the entire time you're getting your service done! The overall vibe was so cozy that I felt pampered the whole time I was there.

The one-on-one consultation: layered cut plus volume magic straightening

Before the actual service, I had a very thorough 1:1 consultation with the designer at Pieum Hair. They picked right up on the 'light yet still composed' feeling I wanted and recommended a layered cut.

Rather than just chopping away, they carefully checked my hair condition, face shape, and everyday styling habits while cutting in the layers — it really radiated professionalism. I was seen by Designer Jihyeok, who was so meticulous and kind that I felt great the entire time.

The result: lift at the roots, ends curled inward

The volume magic straightening that followed was equally touching! They took great care to keep the roots plump with volume while making sure the ends naturally curled inward, working through it stitch by stitch, so to speak.

While the chemical solution sat and processed, they kept checking in to make sure I was comfortable, and explained each stage in detail, so I could relax and trust the process completely. 👍

Was the volume magic worth it? Swishy hair and shorter drying time

Ta-da! When the service was finished and I looked in the mirror, the frizzy hair was completely gone, replaced with strands so smooth and composed I barely recognized myself! ✨

Thanks to the layered cut it felt light, and with the volume magic straightening added, a really luxurious texture came through fully. Even drying it myself at home, just following the tips they gave me, my morning routine got cut in half!

The style transformation and the friendly service made my visit to Pieum Hair in Hapjeong so satisfying! Since it's such a popular spot, showing up without a reservation could mean a long wait, so I'd recommend booking ahead.

Highly recommended for anyone hoping to find their best-ever hairstyle through careful, detailed handwork, or anyone wanting a mood reset with a clean cut and silky, glossy hair! 💖
