Damaged self-dyed hair repair perm at Goyang hair salon Zeo Hair

Today I visited Zeo Hair AVEDA Goyang Jichuk to get a perm because my hair had gotten damaged after dyeing it myself at home. I could truly feel how much RS Jiyeon, a stylist with 28 years of experience, loves hair as we talked through the consultation.

I've come to think that how easily I can style my hair at home matters just as much as how pretty the shape is. Especially as I get older, I care a lot about shine, elasticity, and frizz, so when it comes to perms, I'm more interested in treatments that consider the hair's condition rather than just pretty curls.

Today I want to share my review of the texture-recovery perm and magic-setting mix perm I got from RS Jiyeon at Zeo Hair AVEDA Goyang Jichuk.

The consultation with director RS Jiyeon

This time, the person taking care of my hair was RS Jiyeon, a stylist with 28 years of experience. She explained with real care that instead of just going for strong curls, she creates perms that keep the hair looking calm while volume and curl come through naturally — perms that finish the style with just a blow-dry and actually improve the hair's texture as you set the curl.

She looked over the state of my hair, my existing curl pattern, and the frizzy sections, and explained how she'd approach the treatment — this time with a texture-recovery perm as the base, followed by

a magic-setting mix perm to finish the style.

What the texture-recovery perm did for self-dyed hair

The texture-recovery perm base solution she mixed herself was impressive. What stood out to me most in this treatment was that she thought about the hair's texture first, not just the shape of the perm.

RS Jiyeon explained she had mixed the texture-recovery perm base solution herself and applied it with real care throughout the treatment.

When people think of a perm, they usually think of putting curls into the hair. But this time, it felt like she was smoothing out the frizzy feel of my hair while building the curl on top of that, all in one process.

To be clear, when I say 'recovery' here, I don't mean that damaged hair is medically restored to its original state — I'm describing how the hair felt to the touch and looked once it was tidied up after the treatment.

• Second, a magic-setting mix perm
• Third, a perm that improves the texture as it sets the curl, finishing the style with just a blow-dry

How the magic-setting mix perm shaped the final style

This was the kind of treatment I'd always wanted. I didn't want stiff, tightly wound curls. What I wanted was a style that wasn't overdone, flowed naturally across my whole head, and still had volume when seen from behind.

When the treatment was done and I looked in the mirror, what I loved most was the round volume at the back. In the photos I took, the back of my hair isn't flat at all — it's round and full, with the curl flowing naturally.

It wasn't too tightly curled, but it wasn't flat either — the balance was exactly what I wanted.

Hair that falls into place with just a blow-dry

What I liked most was that the style was complete with just a blow-dry.

Wash your hair at home, blow-dry it, and the style is already done.

Sometimes your hair looks great at the salon, but when you wash it the next day at home, you can't recreate the same look. Then styling becomes a daily chore. This time, she kept the curl direction and volume intact without needing complicated styling, which made everyday maintenance so much easier.

I'm especially active and don't want to spend a lot of time on my hair every morning. So a style that suits me and is easy to maintain matters far more to me than something flashy. This magic-setting mix perm won me over completely.

Honest review after the perm at Zeo Hair AVEDA Goyang Jichuk

It felt amazing how much my whole vibe changed just from one hairstyle. Getting this treatment from RS Jiyeon reminded me that a good perm isn't just about piling on curls — it's about considering my hair texture, my face, and even my daily lifestyle. What I loved most was that it made styling so much easier.

When I blow-dry my hair now, it looks less frizzy, the volume comes through naturally, and the texture doesn't get tangled — I catch myself smiling every time I look in the mirror.

And I don't think getting older means giving up on your hairstyle. If anything, finding a look that suits who I am now, dressing well, exercising, and learning new things are all sources of joy for me. Today is the youngest I'll ever be, after all.

This visit to Zeo Hair AVEDA Goyang Jichuk wasn't just about getting my hair done — it was time spent rediscovering a look that suits who I am right now. Thanks to RS Jiyeon's careful treatment, my hair looks more polished and the curl feels naturally alive with this magic-setting mix perm. Above all, it's so easy to manage at home myself, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone struggling with hair maintenance.
