After a hippie perm done in March grew frizzy on top, this visitor booked a Saturday 10 a.m. appointment and had a Re-born repair perm that straightened the upper sections with magic straightening while leaving a C-curl at the ends, taking about 3.5 to 4 hours. Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam suits anyone who wants an old perm tidied up rather than taken out completely. ## Good to know - **Location**: About a 3-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 4, near Gangnam Station - **Treatment received**: Re-born repair perm (magic straightening on top + C-curl at the ends) - **Duration**: About 3.5 to 4 hours - **Visit time**: Saturday 10 a.m. appointment - **Parking**: Jeil Parking Lot (check the booking page for validation details) - **Amenities**: Lockers for personal belongings, welcome tea with your name on it, English-speaking staff *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![Hairstyle after the Re-born repair perm at Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-01-zi4iv-966.webp) I got a hippie perm back in March, but as time passed the top got frizzy and the ends needed a bit of tidying up too. So this time I booked a Saturday 10 a.m. appointment and headed to Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam Branch :) Instead of erasing the hippie perm look entirely, I went with a Re-born repair perm — straightening the top into something calmer while keeping a natural C-curl at the ends. ## What the Re-born repair perm did to a frizzy hippie perm — quick summary ![Hair photo showing before and after tidying up the hippie perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-02-dlj8q-966.webp) Since the frizziness on top after my March hippie perm was bothering me, I booked a Saturday 10 a.m. slot and visited. This time I went with a Re-born repair perm — magic straightening to calm the top, C-curl kept at the ends. They showed me the products they'd be using and explained everything beforehand, which made me feel more at ease. The whole treatment took about 3.5 to 4 hours. There were quite a few foreign customers there when I visited, and it was impressive to see staff who could handle English. ![Hair with magic straightening on top and C-curl at the ends](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-03-o79fe-966.webp) ## Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam Branch: location and parking ![Exterior of Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam Branch near Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 4](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-04-1w2km-966.webp) ![Building entrance and sign of Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-05-1vyya-966.webp) It's about a 3-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 4, so getting there by public transit was easy.

Once inside, I was shown to a locker for my personal belongings, which made things comfortable during the treatment. I noticed quite a few foreign customers during my visit, and staff naturally speaking English to them. This could be useful if you're looking for a hair salon near Gangnam Station to visit with a foreign friend, or somewhere with English-speaking staff. ![Welcome tea with a name written on it at Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-11-238ks-966.webp) *Welcome tea* The welcome tea even had my name on it, which was a nice way to start the treatment :) ## Menu board and the consultation before the perm ![Salon menu board divided into cuts, coloring, perms, and care](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-12-1y08e-853.webp) ![Second page of the menu board organized by treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-13-7aahk-853.webp) The menu board was divided by treatment type — cuts, coloring, perms, care — so it was easy to check what I wanted. I told them about my previous hippie perm and my current hair condition, and we discussed the Re-born repair perm direction — magic straightening on top, C-curl kept at the ends. Extra costs or what's possible can vary depending on hair length, damage level, and previous perm/color history, so check expected pricing and duration before or during your consultation. ## How the Re-born repair perm works and how long it takes ![Shampoo area at Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-14-1371a-966.webp) *Shampoo area* Before the main treatment, they started with a shampoo. ![Shiseido care products used for the repair perm](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-15-jot3f-966.webp) ![Applying care product to the hair during the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-16-1usi9-966.webp) They explained that the repair perm uses care products alongside the heat treatment to reduce stress on the hair. They started with care using Shiseido products, applying them thoroughly, which gave me more confidence in the process. I liked the curl from my March hippie perm, but over time the top got puffy and frizzy. So instead of removing the old perm entirely, I asked to calm the top down while keeping a natural C-curl at the ends. Before the treatment, they showed me each product they'd use and explained it one by one. I could see exactly what was going into my hair, and I felt comfortable asking questions. The whole process — shampoo, care, magic straightening on top, and C-curl work at the ends — took about 3.5 to 4 hours in total. If you have plans right after, I'd recommend leaving extra time. ## How the hair looked right after the Re-born repair perm ![After photo right after the Re-born repair perm, magic straightening on top and C-curl at the ends](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm/gangnam-hair-salon-reborn-recovery-perm-17-1t49g-1200.webp) *Right after treatment* This consultation direction suited me well — I wanted the frizziness on top tamed after my hippie perm, but I didn't want the ends made completely straight either. I especially liked that they showed and explained the products before the treatment, and that I could comfortably describe the style I wanted. If you want the top calmed down while keeping a C-curl at the ends, or you're figuring out your next style after a hippie perm, this could be worth a consultation :) ## Tips to know before visiting Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam - Definitely mention your treatment history. Letting them know when and what you did — hippie perm, coloring, straightening — helps them give advice suited to your current hair condition. - Bring a photo of the style you want. Showing a photo alongside a description like "calm on top, C-curl at the ends" makes the consultation more precise. - Leave plenty of time for the treatment. Mine took about 3.5 to 4 hours. If you have plans afterward, give yourself enough buffer. - Check pricing and any length surcharges during the consultation. Costs can vary by hair length and condition, so confirm the expected amount beforehand. - Ask about home care too. Checking how to dry and maintain your hair afterward helps you keep the style looking good at home. ## Frequently asked questions ### I have a hippie perm — can just the top be smoothed down?
