Layered S-curl perm for thin hair, Geomdan salon: Lee Kyung Min Foret

My last perm was almost a year ago, so my hair was a real mess. I kept thinking, I have to go to a salon, I have to go... and finally I did it. I found a salon with great reviews.

It's Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch, a hair salon in Geomdan. It's known for being clean and for its designers having great taste. I booked the head manager through Naver Reservation.

Which perm suits thin, curly hair? Consultation and layered cut

The head manager at Lee Kyung Min Foret suggested adding layers to make my flyaway hair, which had been thinned out a lot, feel lighter, and cutting off the thinned parts. My hair is so messy, right? It had been thinned so much that it felt even more flyaway.

I boldly chopped it, then the real perm began. I have some natural curl, so the head manager took extra care with that. I'd been agonizing over which style to go for, and she recommended one that suits me.

Choosing a layered perm with S-curls

We decided on a layered perm for a light feel, combined with S-curls. She said that's how the curls would come out full. I loved that she recommended a style that fits my hair quality and face shape.

They also had a drink ready for me in the meantime. It was a really hot day and I needed an iced Americano transfusion. Now I feel alive again.

Side bangs restyled at the same time

You need some side bangs for the curls to look classy and pretty. She trimmed my existing side bangs a little shorter and paid extra attention to that part. The head manager explained everything carefully as she worked.

How the layered S-curl perm is done

Now, let's roll the hair. The most nerve-wracking moment. I hope I get thick, bouncy waves!

I want a style that's elegant and classy but also easy to manage at home. The head manager knew exactly my style. She found just the look I wanted.

She made sure it didn't get too hot, checking the temperature from time to time. She's so attentive and kind.

You have to set the roots, of course. She added volume while taming the curl a bit. Can't wait!

Finally, the last step. Neutralizing now. I'm so grateful for all the time and care she put in.
