Gwangjin hair salon magic straight perm at 32 weeks: HairOnDeu

In short

HairOnDeu Gunja Station Branch is a hair salon in Gwangjin, Seoul, a five-minute walk from Exit 5 of Gunja Station. At 32 weeks pregnant, the writer had a magic straight perm on severely curly hair, with the roots lifted slightly to keep some volume, and the whole treatment took about 2 hours, with iced chocolate and cookies served between steps to make the long sit easier. The hair combed through with no snags afterwards, so HairOnDeu Gunja Station Branch is a useful reference for anyone wondering when to get a perm during pregnancy.

I have severely curly hair that needs regular treatment, but since a little angel arrived earlier this year, I'd been putting off my magic straight perm. I tried to hold out without one until after giving birth, but as the curl kept getting worse I couldn't put it off any longer, so I went in for a magic perm once I was past 32 weeks pregnant. In the end I was so happy with it that I wanted to share it with you all. So here's my story of getting a pregnancy magic perm at Gunja Station hair salon HairOnDeu.

Inside, the clean interior and pleasant atmosphere put me in a good mood from the moment I walked in.

How the consultation went at 32 weeks pregnant

Before the magic perm treatment

Since I arrived right at my appointment time, I could start the magic perm without waiting. Once I sat down, I told Director Serim, who'd be handling my hair that day, that I was over 32 weeks pregnant and wanted a magic straight perm. She kindly explained that lifting the roots slightly before straightening would give a natural volume, and that she'd adjust the process to suit my thin hair well.

Trimming the hair after the consultation

Since the director has so much experience with magic straightening and perms, I went in with high expectations. She trimmed my damaged ends a little and gave my hair a basic shampoo wash,

then applied the chemical solution carefully — her hands were incredibly precise and fast! You could really tell how much experience and skill went into it, honestly impressive 🤭

After all the solution was applied, she brought over iced chocolate and cookies. My hair was wrapped and heat-treated with checks in two rounds, and sipping sweet iced chocolate during that time felt like pure healing! I'd been worried about sitting for so long while pregnant, but because she kept checking on me the whole way through, I could relax through the whole process 🎶

How the magic straight perm on severely curly hair works, step by step

After the heat treatment, my hair was rinsed again in the shampoo room and the actual straightening work began in earnest. She straightened each strand with the straightening iron so carefully, and I could see my curly, unruly hair gradually calming down bit by bit. Watching it happen was so satisfying haha. After the treatment, she also explained in detail how to care for my hair afterward to keep the results lasting.

After straightening my whole head, she finished by applying a neutralizer, then rinsed it with water — and with that, the roughly 2-hour magic perm treatment was done ✨

Before and after: when to get a magic straight perm while pregnant

My hair came out calm and glossy, worth every bit of the care that went into it — since my curl was so severe, the before-and-after difference was huge. It felt strange but so nice to have soft, smooth hair again after so long. Best of all, it combed through with my hands without snagging anywhere — that was the most satisfying part!

The before-and-after difference is really dramatic, right *_*?? Such pretty, silky hair 🖤 I probably won't be able to get another straightening treatment for a while after giving birth, through breastfeeding, so I'm really glad I got this done now. I'm told it's fine to get a magic perm anytime between 16 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, so if you're considering a pregnancy magic perm, I hope you'll time it to your week and get a pretty treatment too!
