Wangsimni hair salon: blending monthly gray root dye lines, Oreudeubi

Dyeing gray roots every month: how do you fix the layered color line?

I have a lot of gray hair, so I dye my roots every 3-4 weeks. At Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch (오르드비), I got a root dye that also connects the layered line that builds up from all that dyeing to the hair below. When gray hairs bug you enough to dye every month, you end up with layers, too!

I was looking for a Sangwangsimni salon that's great at root dye and can cover that boundary line, and I found Oreudeubi, a Wangsimni salon with good value, so I went.

How to get to Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch and where to park

Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch sits between Sindang Station and Sangwangsimni Station, so from either station it's within a 3-minute walk. Very easy to reach.

• About 350m from Exit 2 of Sindang Station, Lines 2 and 6 (3-minute walk)
• Exit 1 of Sangwangsimni Station, Line 2 (3-minute walk)

Parking is hard in a lot of the Sangwangsimni area, but at Oreudeubi you get 2 hours free if you use the Centras Building i parking lot. Search "센트라스 상가 i동 주차장" (Centras Building i parking lot) in your navigation app and you'll be fine. Come in through the Tom N Toms coffee shop entrance, keep going straight, and Oreudeubi is on the left.

With the membership, it was an even better deal.

Oreudeubi on a weekday evening: interior and massage-chair shampoo room

Inside, Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch has a modern, clean interior with pretty little props here and there. I went on a weekday evening after work, and I liked that it wasn't crowded.

The shampoo room has massage chairs, and after my root dye they rinsed me out in one. My whole body just melted >_<

How much is a root dye at Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni?

Root dye at Oreudeubi was ₩70,000. Check the price list! You can add a treatment to the service, so I did :)

Sensitive scalp: what Oreudeubi does before a root dye

Before the service, I filled out a chart first, and a thorough consultation was based on that chart. You could really see the effort to tailor things to what the customer wants, which made me feel good.

Before the root dye started, they sprayed and applied scalp protector carefully. Since I dye so often, my scalp gets sensitive and I even break out in pimples, but with the protector applied so carefully I felt totally at ease. They checked my scalp condition before the service and made sure there was no stinging at all during dyeing, and I was so touched.

Blending the dye from the roots into the lower hair

At first I wondered if they were putting on too little at the roots, but later it was a whole bucketful, haha.. They connected everything with the lower hair so carefully >_<

Snacks and drinks while the gray root dye sets

They even set out snacks in case my mouth got bored while waiting. For a drink, it was evening so I skipped the coffee and picked apple juice!

While the dye sat, they kept checking the color. I tend to find small talk at salons tiring, and they went along with that preference too, so I could rest comfortably the whole time. Loved that.

Gray root dye before and after: the result

After the root dye at Oreudeubi, the gray at my roots was covered and blended naturally with the lower layer. First, the before! Even in the full photo it looks patchy, but the roots especially show a lot of gray, sob.

And the after! They even blow-dried it for me. No gray visible, right? A gift for anyone who goes looking for it.

Thanks to their careful work, the roots are covered and connect naturally with the lower layer. Thank you to my designer ><
