Root touch-up matches Cooper Brown after 3 months: Biorn Hair Gangnam

Have you ever worried that a root touch-up alone wouldn't blend naturally with your existing color?

I had the exact same worry going into this root touch-up at Biorn Hair in Apgujeong, but honestly, the moment the service was done, I realized I'd worried for nothing.

Totally satisfied!

From the seamless color blend to designer Jisu's skill in nailing exactly the look I wanted, if you're on the fence about a root touch-up, this review should really help.

Why I looked for a root touch-up salon in Apgujeong

Biorn Hair Apgujeong Rodeo is on the 3rd floor of 8 Seonneung-ro 161-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. I wanted to tidy up my hair before the semester started, so I decided to visit this time.

3 months after the Cooper Brown dye — what did my roots look like?

Can you see how messy my roots are... this is what happens after leaving it alone for 3 months. I'd done a full dye in late June with a Cooper Brown that had an orange-brown feel. But after about 3 months, the roots had grown out a lot.

I really debated whether to tone it down and redo the color completely before the semester started, but I felt like this color suited me so well that I decided to just do the root touch-up.

My hair was already pretty damaged, so a root touch-up was the safer choice compared to a full dye — I was worried that redoing the whole thing on damaged hair would damage it even further, so I decided to just deal with the roots.

Would a root touch-up alone blend naturally with the existing color?

The biggest worry for anyone considering a root touch-up is probably whether the new root color will blend seamlessly with the existing color, with no visible line. That was exactly my biggest concern too, but once the service was done, the color blended so naturally that I realized I'd worried over nothing.

Looking in the mirror, the tone flowed so smoothly that I couldn't even tell where the newly dyed roots started.

What you should definitely mention during the consultation

📍TIP The key to a root touch-up is matching the tone to your existing color, so if you tell your designer in detail what color you originally dyed and how long ago it was, you'll get a much more natural result. The result was so satisfying that I even thought it would've been great to redo the whole dye in this exact color.

Consultation with designer Jisu and the root touch-up price

This root touch-up was done by designer Jisu, who carefully checked which tone would match my original color right from the consultation, so I could trust her with it, and she caught exactly the look I wanted and delivered it perfectly. The root touch-up price was ₩120,000.

To sum up, Biorn Hair Apgujeong is a place where even a root touch-up alone blends naturally with the color, and the designer's skill is on point. If my hair condition improves and I need a full dye later, I'd want to come back here again.
