Bucheon hair salon cut with side bangs: Levia Hair

What did I want to change about my thick, straight hair?

I have thick hair, with no bangs and a straight-across style in the back. It made my overall look feel somewhat heavy, and when I tucked my hair behind my ears, I was conscious of the empty-looking space beside my face. In photos, too, my hair seemed to lie too flat against my head.

To discuss these concerns, I booked a customized design cut at Levia Hair Bucheon Branch (르비아 헤어 부천점) near Bucheon City Hall. This time, I had see-through bangs and side bangs cut, with layers added to the back to tidy up the overall shape.

What was the salon atmosphere like?

The white-toned interior was the first thing I noticed when I entered. It felt neat and open rather than cramped, and the wide windows brought in enough natural light to make the space feel bright.

Was the consultation easy without knowing exactly what I wanted?

I find it difficult to explain the exact cut I want. Instead of arriving with a specific style in mind, I chose the customized design cut.

During the consultation, I mentioned that the area beside my cheekbones looked empty when I tucked my hair back, and that my blunt back hair felt heavy. The stylist recommended side bangs after hearing those concerns. It was comfortable because they helped set the direction of the cut even when I only explained what I disliked, and their kind manner meant it did not feel awkward from the start.

What changed after getting see-through bangs and side bangs?

The see-through bangs were cut without making them too short. They were long enough to wear down naturally or sweep aside when I wanted. Bangs at an awkward length can be difficult to style with a curling iron, but these were easy for me to handle at home.

The side bangs were the part I liked most. Since the hair around the sides framed my face, the empty-looking space did not stand out as much when I tucked my hair behind my ears. My face itself did not look smaller; rather, the hair naturally filled in the areas that had looked bare, making my overall impression seem more polished.

Did the layered cut reduce the heaviness of my hair?

Because my hair is thick, the ends looked blunt and heavy when the back fell straight down. This time, I had quite a few layers added in the back and had a substantial amount of bulk removed.

At first, I wondered whether it was okay to remove so much bulk. But when I saw the finished style, it felt refreshing because the weight had been reduced, and the overall impression looked noticeably lighter.

After the cut, my curling iron also seemed to work better than before. It became easier to style my hair at home, and in my case, simply reducing the weight with the cut made a noticeable difference.

What did I like most after the cut?

I liked the combination of see-through bangs, side bangs, and a layered cut. From the front, I was less conscious of the empty-looking space beside my face; from the back, layers made my formerly heavy hair look lighter.

Most of all, I liked that it became easier to style with a curling iron at home. Although I had bangs cut, I was not locked into wearing them fully down, so I could choose to wear them down or sweep them aside.

For someone like me who did not know what style would suit me, a consultation that began by discussing my usual discomforts and then deciding on a direction worked well. This cut addressed both my concerns about hair volume and the sides of my face.
