# Gangnam hair salon volume magic for curly medium-length hair: Heeol - By Moyeon (https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-tint-routine/) - Written Sep 6, 2026 - Local places › Hair & beauty salons › Gangnam, Seoul - Sponsored: This is a record of a visit where the treatment was provided by the salon. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-tint-routine/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seoul-tint-routine/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/index.md) ## In short Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store is a hair salon near Gangnam Station Exit 11 and Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 5 in Seoul. The writer, who has severely curly hair and a bleaching history and had put off straightening for that reason, booked designer Hyunju for a full course of cut, volume magic straightening and clinic, and left with layered medium-length hair. The curls came out fully smoothed and morning styling time dropped by half, so Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store is worth one honest try for anyone still salon-hopping for straightening. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3rd floor, 37 Bongeunsa-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Gangnam Station Exit 11, Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 5) - **Getting there**: From the CGV at Gangnam Station, walk about 150m straight toward Cafe Albert - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–19:00 - **Services received**: Cut + volume magic straightening + clinic treatment - **Reservations**: Bookable on Naver; popular designers fill up fast - **Time of visit**: Weekend, 2pm — every chair taken by booked clients, but no wait before the service started *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* Hi everyone, I'm back as an autumn girl, Dungsil-dudungsil ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ I'm actually pretty famous for my severe frizz... normal days I'm Hagrid, rainy days I'm a lion. My curly hair has always stressed me out,,, ![Frizzy hair before the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-01-1t1w4-900.webp) I'd been bleached (?) once before so I couldn't get a straightening perm, but my hair's grown out a lot now and I wanted a nice cut for autumn, so I searched and compared hair salons really carefully 🔍 Straightening my frizz with an iron every single day had turned my hair into a total broomstick, so this time I really committed and went to a famous Gangnam shop for the full course 💛 Here's my story from the Gangnam Station hair salon 💇‍♀️ ## Where is Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store, and what are its hours? Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store is close to both Gangnam Station Exit 11 and Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 5, so it passes the transit test right away. Super close to the station!! ![Building entrance of Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-02-1k9tr-900.webp) ![Path to Heeol Hair between Gangnam and Sinnonhyeon stations](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-03-1r3d0-900.webp) It's about 150m straight ahead from Gangnam Station CGV toward Cafe Albert, so it was easy to find. ✔️ Hours are daily 10:00–19:00, which isn't super long, so make sure to check! This is as of a weekend visit at 2pm! Seats were pretty much full with reserved customers. Still, I could start my treatment right on time with no wait haha ![Third-floor entrance of Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-04-o9o3p-900.webp) ![Reception and waiting area of Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-05-18x4y-900.webp) Given how busy hair salons get, I strongly recommend booking ahead! Naver reservations make it easy ✨ ## Inside Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store: the salon atmosphere ![Wood-tone interior of Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-06-1rhxq-1200.webp) ![Overall view of the treatment space at Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-07-jqy7v-900.webp) ![Salon seats and mirrors at Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-08-3e4xc-786.webp) Am I the only one who trusts a salon based on its design and aesthetic sense? A clean, pretty space really matters!! Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store has such a good vibe ✨ Clean wood-tone interior with a well-organized, well-used layout that kept me comfortable the whole time 🤗🤍 ## How the cut, volume magic straightening and clinic course went The treatment I got at Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store this time was the cut + volume perm + clinic full course. Spoiler: the result is absolutely insane. I was treated by designer Hyunju. She matches the hairstyle you want as closely as possible and just handles everything perfectly !! She kept up light, comfortable conversation throughout the whole treatment, which made me feel at ease. I just left it all up to her........ Everyone should ask for Hyunju, please ~~ ### Clinic treatment and the layered cut First, let's talk about the clinic + cut ✂️ — she trimmed off the badly damaged parts and gave me a stylish layered cut in the length I wanted! I personally think medium-length hair suits me, but an in-between length can turn into a total disaster, so I've had a lot of cut failures before? 👎👎 But this time I'm way too satisfied. Add my own styling on top and it's a totally complete look 💓 ![Hair right after the layered medium-length cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-09-1qwcl-900.webp) Also, thanks to the clinic treatment, my broomstick-like hair became noticeably softer — I could feel it right at my fingertips. I always notice it, but especially in the shower,,,, *A photo I quickly snapped in the shower because I was so surprised by my hair texture lol This is the state my hair was in before the perm, so the result turned out even better! ![Softened hair texture during shower](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-10-1jwqc-900.webp) *A photo quickly snapped in the shower because I was so surprised by my hair texture lol* When I got thirsty in the middle of the treatment, she brought me an iced chocolate, so the waiting time didn't feel boring at all 🍂 That's the kind of detail that really shows,,, it's the little things ## The result: layered medium-length hair with volume magic straightening ![Full layered medium-length style after the volume perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-11-ifs4p-900.webp) Getting straight to the result of my layered medium-length hair + volume perm at Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store — no need for long explanations, it's pure autumn-girl energy 🍂🍁, completed! This is the best straightening perm I've gotten in the last 5+ years!! It always used to feel like it didn't really take, and I'd still need to iron it flat myself ㅠ But here, it's different ❌ ![Close-up of the smoothed perm result](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-12-fu4uc-725.webp) ![Back view of the naturally voluminous medium-length hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-13-uvc6f-769.webp) - 1) Frizz completely tamed — the curls are fully controlled and smoothed straight. Morning styling time cut in half. Hyunju is truly my savior...... a protector of my morning sleep..... - 2) Natural volume — not a hint of "forced straight," just a natural, glossy flow, so people around me kept asking if I got a salon blowout - 3) The layered cut line is art — it's pure autumn-girl vibes, naturally covers the face line, and the thinned-out ends make it feel light I'm really feeling the difference 🥹 It's been so long since a straightening perm took this well. Heeol Hair is the best 💖✨ ![Autumn-vibe layered cut line](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-14-wb9fi-900.webp) ![Styled medium-length hair after the full treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic/heeol-hair-gangnam-curly-volume-magic-15-tn15r-900.webp) ## Is Heeol Hair Gangnam Flagship Store worth it for curly hair?
