If you're thinking about giving your boyfriend a hairstyle makeover, keep an eye on today's post 🤍

Why we chose an iron perm and a down perm at Salon de L in Sangwangsimni

The place my fiancé went to get his hair done is Salon de L, a hair salon near Sangwangsimni Station. Today I'm introducing the Wangsimni hair salon where he got his hair done.

Men's hairstyles may look less varied than women's, but changing just the cut or the perm completely changes the impression, right? Especially when the sides stick out or the top lacks volume, the style just won't come out the way you want no matter how hard you work on it 🥹 So this time we decided to do an iron perm and a down perm together. The place we chose was Salon de L, near Sangwangsimni Station ✨

🏡 Salon de L is a hair salon for neat men's hair, offering men's cuts and perms as well as dyeing, clinic treatments and other hair services.

It especially emphasizes custom treatments that design a style around each person's face shape and hair condition. I really think details matter most with men's hair. If the sides stick out even a little, everything looks puffy, and if the top lacks volume it droops right away 😭 So this time my fiancé chose a treatment that could get natural volume and tidy sides at the same time.

Looking for a pet-friendly hair salon in Wangsimni?

Salon de L is a pet-friendly hair salon in Wangsimni, and that was one of the things I liked most about it 💕 There are more and more cafés and restaurants where you can go out with your dog these days, but salons are harder to find than you'd think. Especially for a long treatment like a perm, just being able to bring your dog along is such a relief for an owner, isn't it 🥰

For people with dogs, a small detail like this can be a big factor in choosing a salon. That said, since other customers share the space, it's best to check the pet conditions before you visit and bring a carrier or whatever supplies you need 🐾 If you're looking for a pet-friendly salon in Wangsimni, have a look at Salon de L too.

Why combine a men's iron perm and a down perm?

The treatments my fiancé got at Salon de L were an iron perm and a down perm. Some of you may be wondering why you'd do both together.

An iron perm sets curl and volume in the direction you want, while a down perm calms sticking-out sides and presses them flat. Put simply, it's a combo that brings the top to life naturally and tidies the sides ✨ Lots of guys find their sides puff out as soon as their hair gets a little long. Adding a down perm in that case can make the overall silhouette look much neater.

The iron perm for natural volume

An iron perm uses heat to give the hair curl and direction. Unlike a typical perm, you can fine-tune the volume exactly where you want it. If you prefer men's hair that flows naturally rather than tight, frizzy curls, it's worth a look 💗 Styling your hair every morning is secretly a chore for guys, after all.

If it gets easier to shape your hair the way you want while washing and drying it, busy mornings get much smoother. My fiancé usually suits a neat, natural style, so I was even more excited for this iron perm 🥰

The down perm for sticking-out sides

Once the iron perm has brought up the volume on top, the sides get tidied with a down perm. Anyone who knows how much the sides matter in men's hair will relate. When the sides flare outward, your head can look bigger and the whole look can feel messy. A down perm calms that hair down and helps create a clean head line 💕

It suits office workers and anyone who prefers a tidy hairstyle. The appeal of doing the iron perm and down perm together is that you can expect natural volume and a clean silhouette at the same time.

Details make men's hair: consultation tips before the treatment

Men's hairstyles can look alike at first glance, but up close the differences are huge. The parting direction, fringe length and side volume can change even the mood of your face. So when changing my hairstyle I think it matters more to find a style that suits your own face shape and head than to copy whatever is trending.

The feel of an iron perm can also change with the thickness and direction of the curl, so I recommend talking through the style you want before the treatment 🌷 For a down perm especially, the method can differ depending on your hair and scalp condition, so it's best to follow a professional's guidance.

I look forward to my fiancé's hair day too

On the days my fiancé goes to get his hair done, strangely enough I seem to get even more excited 😆 Guys change their whole mood just by changing their hairstyle, right? Personally I like neat but natural men's hair better than an over-styled look. That's why I liked this iron perm and down perm combo even more.

The top has volume and the sides are calmly tidied, so I thought it would be easy to wear as an everyday style without any fuss 🤍

How do you care for hair after an iron perm?

With an iron perm the style can change depending on which way you dry your hair, so it helps to remember the styling method your designer shows you. If you got a pretty perm, caring for it so it lasts matters too.

After washing, dry from the scalp first, then blow-dry while guiding the hair in the direction you want, which can help with styling. When to shampoo after the perm and which products to use can vary with the treatment method and your hair condition, so it's best to follow your designer's instructions ✨

The iron perm and down perm my fiancé chose at Salon de L is a combo I'd recommend to guys who want natural volume and a clean style together.
