## In short

Arish Hapjeong Muse Hair Salon is a newly opened bleach and hair extension salon on the 3rd floor of a building one minute from Exit 4 of Hapjeong Station in Mapo, Seoul. The writer arrived with faded pink color and two months of regrowth on platinum blonde hair and had a root bleach with Team Leader Eunha for 180,000 won, lifting the roots at the scalp to yellow first and then blending them into the lengths. Old patchy color meant the tone was not a 100 percent match, but the line was barely visible even without extra toner, which made the visit worth it.

I recently dyed my hair a pink shade. But the color faded fast and I was back to blonde! And then my roots grew out and got messy again. So while looking for a Hapjeong hair salon, I visited the newly opened Hongdae salon Arish Hair Hapjeong Muse! It's a 1-minute walk from Exit 4 of the station, so the accessibility was great, plus the clean interior, friendly staff, and meticulous coloring — everything was satisfying, so I'm leaving a detailed review.

## Where is Arish Hapjeong Muse Hair Salon, and what are its hours?

This Hongdae bleach salon I visited, Arish Hair Hapjeong Muse, is a 1-minute walk from Hapjeong Station Exit 4. It's on the 3rd floor of a stylish building. It's also within walking distance of Hongdae, so I'd recommend it if you're looking for a Hongdae or Hapjeong hair salon! Hours vary a bit by designer's day off, but it's open daily from 11:00 to 20:00, so it's easy to visit whenever suits you.

## Inside the newly opened Hapjeong salon and its shampoo room

The moment I walked in, I felt how overall clean and sophisticated the atmosphere was. Since it's newly opened, everything was spotless, and you could tell they put a lot of thought into the interior! The lighting was great and it felt comfortable throughout, which made getting my treatment pleasant :) The staff were all good-looking too, so I got quite the eye candy haha.

![Shampoo room with comfortable shampoo chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-07-1sg3s-966.webp)

The shampoo space here is especially amazing. I've been to dozens of salons, and the shampoo chairs at Arish Hair Hapjeong Muse were the most comfortable! For reference, this place specializes in bleaching and extensions, so treatment times tend to be pretty long overall. So having comfortable chairs and an atmosphere you can relax in for a long time actually matters quite a bit? On that front, Arish Hair gets a perfect score!

## Before: grown-out roots and pink staining on platinum blonde hair

Before. I've been maintaining a platinum blonde color, and it's honestly not that easy to manage. I do regular clinic treatments and home care too, but after dozens of bleaching sessions, this is about the best it gets. Since I'd dyed it pink before, there was a bit of staining, and after about two months my roots had grown out a lot, making it look messy.

![Jetti drink provided during the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-11-vn05p-966.webp)

![Snacks provided by the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-12-1ram7-966.webp)

I could also choose a drink — I went with the sweet Jetti! They generously gave me Jetti along with snacks too, and I happily ate them. These little touches actually make you feel pretty good :)

## How much does a platinum blonde root bleach cost? 180,000 won

![Bleaching products used at the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-14-10q5m-m-966.webp)

I decided to get a root bleach, and the price for a platinum blonde root bleach was about ₩180,000! The price wasn't too burdensome, which was nice. For reference, one reason I'd recommend Arish Hair as a Hongdae bleach salon is that they use good quality dye products. Going to a too-cheap salon and getting cheap products often ends up damaging your scalp or hair, so it's essential to check!

### How Team Leader Eunha bleaches the roots, step by step

![Scene of the root bleach treatment beginning](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-15-10uem-966.webp)

![Stylist applying bleach to the roots](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-16-7nf3k-966.webp)

The person who handled my root bleach this time was Team Leader Eunha of Arish Hair. She had friendliness, good looks, and skill all in one, so I'm planning to book her again next time haha. With bleaching, especially at the roots, how far and how you apply matters a lot, and Team Leader Eunha lifts even the scalp-side roots to yellow first, then blends it in!

![Root bleach in progress wrapped in foil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-17-1805n-966.webp)

She really applied the bleach meticulously, and maybe because it was a good product, there was no irritation on the scalp and no smell, so I could relax more comfortably. Then came the foil heat application time! Even then, she kept coming back to check thoroughly, which I really appreciated :)

![Checking the scalp-side root bleaching](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-18-83gnt-966.webp)

![Root bleach applied over a wider section of hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-19-u0w6f-966.webp)

After checking the scalp-side bleaching, she moved on to root bleaching over a wider area. Again, she applied it super thoroughly! We chatted along the way, so time flew by during the coloring haha.

After the bleaching process was done, it was time to move to the shampoo room! While shampooing, she cleanly cleared out any remaining product from my scalp and hair to finish up. During the shampoo, she even checked for spots where the color hadn't lifted enough and applied extra product — really thorough, which I liked! The massage felt amazing too. The shampoo chair was so comfortable I almost fell asleep...

## After: even, bright blonde from root to end

![Before and after comparison photo of the root bleach](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-22-szv5w-966.webp)

Before, the grown-out roots made my whole head look messy! After, with the roots sorted out, it went back to a bright blonde feel :)

Of course, since I'd had a platinum blonde to pink color history, there was already some staining, so it couldn't match 100%, but I was satisfied with this level! For reference, if you want to match the tone even more exactly, you can apply one more round of color. I skipped that to avoid extra time, cost, and hair damage, but it barely shows!!

![After photo showing bright blonde with roots sorted out](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde/hapjeong-hair-salon-root-bleach-blonde-23-1bf49-m-900.webp)

From platinum blonde to pink and back to blonde again! After tidying up the hair that looked messy from grown-out roots, my mood definitely improved too :) Team Leader Eunha handled everything from root bleaching to color blending so carefully that I was satisfied :) I heard Arish Hair Hapjeong Muse is also famous as a Hongdae hair extension salon, so next time I'm going to get extensions! If you're looking for a Hongdae or Hapjeong bleach salon, I'd recommend it :)
