Wangsimni hair salon for a bob perm on heavy wavy hair: Onzon Hair

Why I got a bob perm at Onzon Hair in Wangsimni

At Onzon Hair, a hair salon in Wangsimni, I finally got the bob perm I'd wanted for ages. As the weather got hotter, my hair felt so heavy and stuffy every time I looked in the mirror. I kept telling myself I had to do something about it, and day after day went by, and these days tying it up was my only option.

This is Onzon Hair's Wangsimni branch. For years I went to just one place, but after the owner-stylist got sick and couldn't work anymore, I was wondering where I'd find my next go-to salon for life, and then I found Onzon Hair.

This is the place that produced a scissor-cut master on the TV show Master of Living (생활의달인), so you can run over with confidence.

It was early on a weekday morning, and I was shocked by how many customers had reservations!!

Half-curly long hair: how did the bob perm change it?

Before the bob perm, my hair was long, half-curly and had no volume. I went to Onzon Hair after seeing a friend's hair done there, and now I get why she recommended it. Anyway, looking at my hair again, it's hopeless!!! Being half-curly, the hair on top came down messy and frizzy, which I could hardly stand, and even when I blow-dried it, it never got any volume.

Wow, is it fair for a style to change this much? Even in this heat, I'm heading out feeling great with the fresh look of a bob.

With hair that was just long and tedious, my style felt dull and heavy, but now it's easy to style, and I finally understand why bobs are so loved.

How does the bob perm at Onzon Hair work?

The bob perm at Onzon Hair was completed after a thorough consultation, then shampoo, cut and perm. What impressed me was how fully they reflect each customer's needs, one person at a time.

I hardly ever see the back of my head, and it turns out it had grown this long.

After the perm, I looked human again!! The trailing length was cut neatly, and natural waves were added so the hair looks full. It looked so natural that I couldn't believe it was done today.

Maybe because of the careful consultation, I liked the lively hairline, and the perm gave my hair a firm, springy feel. It blow-dries really well.

Won't the perm get boring? Drinks, snacks and the QR scalp check

At Onzon Hair in Wangsimni, I got my perm comfortably without any boredom. They offer all kinds of drinks and snacks, which was great. Doing the scalp diagnosis with a QR code was a nice little activity too.

Sitting in one place for a long time makes my body ache, but I moved around for the wash, the perm and the cut, changing seats, so I didn't notice the time pass.

The shampoo area is pleasant and very clean too.

Onzon Hair Wangsimni Main Branch: location and parking

Onzon Hair Wangsimni Main Branch is on the 2nd floor of the building at 211 Gosanja-ro, and Geumdonok (금돈옥), a well-known local restaurant, is on the 1st floor, so it's easy to find. The owner-stylist is the one who appeared on Master of Living, so I went with trust.

The building's 1st-floor parking lot is roomy and parking is provided, so it's convenient by car too. From Exit 10 of Wangsimni Station, it's a 5-minute walk.

Is styling at home easy after the bob perm?

Styling after the Onzon Hair bob perm is easy and simple. You can create a different mood depending on whether you wear your bangs down or up, and I loved that hair doesn't fall out as much when I wash it. The ends used to tangle and not come down when I brushed while drying, but with just a perm they became this smooth! After washing, I just towel-shake it dry, mix a little curl cream and oil I have at home, and it stays moist all day.

If you want to change up tedious hair or find the hairstyle of your life that suits your face and vibe, I recommend Onzon Hair, a hair salon in Wangsimni.
