Where Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch is and where to park

Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch is on the 2nd floor at 82 Musumak-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, about a 2-minute walk from Exits 4 and 5 of Singeumho Station. It's open from 10 AM to 8 PM.

These days, men's hair trends lean less toward strong curls or slicked-down sides, and more toward styles that are easy to manage while still suiting your face shape naturally. This time I went to Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch and got an ash perm and down perm done by designer Rocco.

I searched around for men's hair salons in Geumho-dong and compared a few places near Singeumho, and Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch stood out for focusing its consultation and design specifically on men's hair.

The location is very convenient — about a 2-minute walk from Exits 4 and 5 of Singeumho Station. As for parking, there's a community center in front of the salon, but spots are only available if there's an open space — there are about 3 spots total. There's also paid public parking at Geumho Elementary School, 2 minutes on foot. I parked there for under 2 hours and paid about ₩2,500 with the low-emission vehicle discount.

What the salon looks like inside

Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch has a very hip overall vibe. Clean and no-frills — exactly the kind of interior that's comfortable for guys to walk into.

The space itself is on the larger side, so you're not crammed in next to the person beside you while getting your hair done. There's also a self-serve water station, which was a nice touch. There were little props and decor scattered around too, so it was fun just looking around haha.

From the consultation with designer Rocco to the ash perm

Designer Rocco first looked at my face shape and bone structure, and asked about my current hair condition and how I usually style it.

Do you style your hair a lot on a regular basis?

Starting with that question, we talked about how I usually dry my hair and how much curl I wanted. Men's hair especially can change your whole impression depending on face shape and volume on the sides, so we went over those details together while working out a style that would suit me. The consultation was really thorough, which definitely boosted my satisfaction with the final result.

First up was the cut. We started by setting the overall length and shape, then adjusted the balance between the sides and the front. The back was finished off neatly too. For men's hair, getting the cut right matters a lot, since it determines how well the shape holds up after the perm.

Before the perm, a scalp protectant was applied first, then the ash perm was done with different amounts of curl in each section. The front was styled to flow naturally rather than curl heavily — leaning toward something easy to manage daily rather than an overly dramatic look.

The down perm wasn't about flattening the sides completely either. It was more about taming the parts that stuck up while pressing them down naturally to fit the shape of my head. Rocco kept checking the hair condition throughout and explaining the direction of the styling, which I appreciated.

How the ash perm looked afterwards: a different face shape

The whole process took about 1 hour 30 minutes. Before the service, my sides stuck out and my cheekbones looked more pronounced overall, but after it was done, the sides were tidied up and my face contour looked noticeably cleaner. The front didn't have that heavy curled look either — it fell naturally, which made me think I could easily wear this to work without any fuss.

It's the kind of style where people's reaction is more like 'your hair looks neat!' rather than 'oh, you got a perm!' So I think this would especially suit anyone near Singeumho looking for a men's hair salon for a work-ready, everyday style.
