# Jamsil hair salon root perm & magic setting for a wedding updo: Heiro - By Seongha (https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-night-rounds/) - Written Sep 22, 2026 - Local places › Hair & beauty salons › Songpa, Seoul - Sponsored: This treatment was received as a store-visit sponsorship, and the drawbacks are included exactly as experienced. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-night-rounds/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seoul-night-rounds/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/index.md) ## In short Heiro Jamsil Lotte World is a hair salon near Jamsil Station in Songpa, Seoul, on the third basement level of the Lotte World Adventure ice rink. Ahead of the writer's younger sibling's wedding, a mom in her 60s had a layered cut, root perm and magic setting done by designer koi over about 4 hours to prepare for a parent-of-the-bride updo. The shoulder-length hair that kept flicking out was smoothed down and volume returned at the crown, but the root perm price quoted at booking did not match the final bill, and an extra charge was added. ## Good to know - **Address**: Unit 09, B3, Ice Rink, Lotte World Adventure, 240 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–19:30 - **Parking**: Available; 1 hour free, charges apply after that - **Services received**: Layered cut + root perm + magic setting - **Time taken**: About 4 hours - **Stylist**: Designer koi *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* This time, ahead of my younger sister's wedding, my mom's biggest headache... she had to wear a pretty hanging updo (혼주머리) as the bride's mother, so she'd been dutifully growing her hair out. But it hit that awkward in-between shoulder length that kept flying out every which way and became completely unmanageable — the cursed zone!! ㅠㅠㅠ To make matters worse, whatever perm she'd had before had completely fallen out, so overall it looked so frizzy that my mom got upset every time she looked in the mirror ㅠㅠㅠ ![Frizzy, flyaway shoulder-length hair after the old perm fell out, before treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-01-1oq37-m-900.webp) For my mom, a true salon nomad, I figured this time I really needed to take her somewhere with solid ratings and real skill. After a storm of searching, I found the place — Heiro Jamsil Lotte World, a Jamsil hair salon that's serious about women's hair. ![Storefront view of Heiro Jamsil Lotte World](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-02-96w0w-900.webp) Let's get straight into the real before-and-after review! ## Where is Heiro Jamsil Lotte World, and is there parking? Heiro Jamsil Lotte World is located at 서울 송파구 올림픽로 240, in the Adventure building's ice rink, basement level 3, unit 09. It's open daily from 10:00 to 19:30. - Address: 서울 송파구 올림픽로 240, 롯데월드 어드벤처동 아이스링크 지하 3층 09호 - Hours: Daily 10:00–19:30 - Parking: Available They offer 1 hour of free parking, but charges kick in after that, so if you're getting a long treatment like a perm, taking public transit might be smarter! If you're coming by transit, head from Jamsil Station exit 3 or 4 straight toward Lotte World Adventure! ![Walking from Jamsil Station toward Lotte World Adventure](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-03-1dh9b-900.webp) ![Direction signage at the Lotte World Adventure gate entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-04-1f9cf-900.webp) Come down the escalator at the Ice Garden in the middle of the Adventure gate, ![Escalator descending to the Ice Garden](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-05-5b8n5-900.webp) ![Passage leading down to the ice rink's basement level 3](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-06-ehyvb-900.webp) and if you look behind Paul Bassett on the right, the shop appears right there. ![Entrance to Heiro Jamsil Lotte World tucked behind Paul Bassett](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-07-1vkt5-m-900.webp) ![Heiro Jamsil Lotte World signage and storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-08-76eeb-900.webp) ## Inside the salon and the consultation with designer koi Heiro Jamsil Lotte World has an overall calm vibe, and the private single-person shampoo room let us wash without worrying about anyone else's eyes on us — so comfortable! ![Calm interior atmosphere of Heiro Jamsil Lotte World](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-09-1w2bu-900.webp) ![Private single-person shampoo room](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-10-v1tao-900.webp) The one who took on my mom's thin, limp, drooping hair that day was designer koi! ![Designer koi's styling station](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-11-w20na-m-900.webp) She's someone I booked after carefully checking Naver ratings and reviews, and the moment she saw my mom's hair condition, she pinpointed the problems like magic. Thin, lifeless strands that flew out in every direction the second they touched her shoulders — the worst possible combo, haha. ![Consulting on hair condition before treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-12-c7t5u-900.webp) Since mom needed an updo for the upcoming wedding, we couldn't cut it too short, but she also needed it calm and manageable day-to-day. Considering both mom's face shape and the wedding schedule, koi recommended a light layered cut followed by a root perm plus magic straightening together. ## How the layered cut, root perm and magic setting were done Right after the consultation, we went straight into the cut! She neatly tidied up the messy, flyaway ends with a very delicate layered cut. ![Layered cut process tidying up flyaway ends](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-13-1uo9b-900.webp) ![Shoulder-length hair being tidied with a layered cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-14-1p7sf-900.webp) The limp, flat top section got a serious volume boost with the root perm, ![Root perm treatment lifting volume at the crown](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-15-19qbj-900.webp) ![Root perm rods wrapped at the crown](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-16-1m6av-900.webp) and the messy curl and frizz were smoothed out calmly with magic straightening, while natural curl was added toward the ends! ![Magic straightening smoothing hair while adding curl](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-17-1bfjr-900.webp) They even brought coffee so we wouldn't get bored during the process. ## Before and after: the right length for a wedding updo Before the treatment, the thin, limp hair sagged sadly and looked kind of shabby, ![Limp, drooping hair before the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-18-1hxi7-900.webp) but thanks to the root perm, the flattened top sprang back to life with gorgeous volume, hahaha. On top of that, the awkward flyaway length got totally tamed thanks to the sleek layered cut and magic straightening! ![Side profile after root perm brought back volume](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-19-6fa64-900.webp) ![Layered cut neatly styled after magic straightening](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-20-m4ifx-900.webp) The perfect length and design for a hanging updo at a wedding..! ## The letdown: quoted root perm price vs. the final bill Since this is a genuine review, let me be honest about the one thing that bugged me ㅠㅠ There was a difference between the root perm price I was quoted at booking and the amount charged after the service was done, so we ended up paying extra on the spot ㅠㅠ ![Payment screen after the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-21-10dwa-900.webp) We were never notified about this beforehand at booking, and it wasn't even because of extra length — the explanation was a "change in head office policy"... ??????? Suddenly...? Why would head office policy suddenly change within a week? Honestly, that's a hard reason to accept as a customer, and since the service had already been done, we just paid, but it left a bit of a sour, disappointed feeling... Of course the results turned out great, but if you're planning to visit, double-checking the price beforehand should make for an even better experience! ## Is Heiro Jamsil Lotte World worth it? Final verdict Despite that letdown, thanks to the meticulous 4-hour process, my mom now styles her hair well at home with her Dyson Airwrap, haha. ![Finished root perm and magic straightening styled at home](https://img.superchart.com/images/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm-22-1vpl1-1200.webp) If you're looking for a Jamsil hair salon that's great with women's hair in their 60s, go check out Heiro Jamsil Lotte World~~ ## Where it is - Heiro Jamsil Lotte World (헤이로 잠실롯데월드점) - 서울특별시 송파구 올림픽로 240 어드벤처동 아이스링크 지하3층 09호 - 서울특별시 송파구 올림픽로 240 어드벤처동 아이스링크 지하3층 09호 - 37.511088, 127.0982822 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%97%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%A1%9C%20%EC%9E%A0%EC%8B%A4%EB%A1%AF%EB%8D%B0%EC%9B%94%EB%93%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.511088,127.0982822,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-night-rounds/heyro-jamsil-mother-of-bride-root-perm/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
