Hwanggeum-dong, Daegu men's salon: fringe slick perm at Yeojin Hair

Yeojin Hair Atelier Daegu Suseong is a men's hair salon on the second floor at 69 Cheongsu-ro in Hwanggeum-dong, Suseong-gu, Daegu. On this visit, manager Sunjeong gave a cut, a partial slick perm on the fringe and a full down perm on the sides and back, so hair that kept puffing up fell into a smooth, dandy line. With a private one-person room, free parking in the building and valet service, Yeojin Hair Atelier is an easy choice for a first men's perm.

Dento is an open sandwich brunch café in a brick building down an alley off Bongsanmunhwa 2-gil in Jung-gu, Daegu. Arriving after lunch as the afternoon turned toward early evening, the writer ordered five bite-size open sandwiches with a lemonade (5,000 won) and tomato soup (4,000 won), and the truffle ricotta was the most memorable of the five. Dento is a brunch spot near Banwoldang Station made for a light, unhurried break rather than a filling meal.
