What is the inside of this Ara Station hair salon like?

Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch is in Units 304 and 305 of the building at 377 Eumil-ro, Seo-gu, Incheon. It is a bright, pleasant salon with generously spaced seats. If I had to name a reason to recommend this Ara Station salon, the space would come first. The tidy atmosphere was clear from the entrance, and when I came with my mother, the first thing that caught our eyes was how well kept the interior was.

The whole interior was bright and pleasant, and the seats were spaced out comfortably. That kept the mood relaxed even while we waited during the treatment. For something like a perm that takes quite a long time, a comfortable space matters a lot, and this place had a satisfying setup.

How did the perm consultation for my mother go?

Before the perm, designer Gawon carefully checked my mother's current hair condition, her usual styling habits and the style she wanted. My mother tends to worry every time she visits a new salon about whether her wishes will get across, and this consultation eased that worry.

Gawon explained in detail which perm would suit my mother naturally, considering her face shape and hair condition, and went through the bangs and overall volume carefully too. Thanks to that, my mother could leave it in her hands with peace of mind.

From shampoo to perm: the process

The main purpose of this visit to Lee Kyung Min Foret Geomdan New Town Branch was my mother's perm. During the shampoo before the treatment, they checked her hair condition, and I was impressed by how carefully they looked at the areas that needed attention.

During the perm they kept checking whether anything was uncomfortable, and the strength and direction of the curls were set based on the consultation. My mother said she was comfortable throughout, and that the whole process felt stable and well organized.

Snacks and drinks while waiting for the perm

The salon has snacks and drinks ready, so we could relax even during the long perm. A perm takes longer than you'd think, so a place to rest comfortably while you wait matters too.

Thanks to the snacks and drinks, the waiting time felt easy. It may seem like a small thing, but for customers it adds to satisfaction. My mother also said positively that she spent the time comfortably while having her hair done.

Finishing cut with bangs and volume

After the perm, Gawon naturally adjusted the bangs' length and volume to my mother's face shape and neatly finished the whole cut line. The perm result matters, but the overall style is often decided by the cut. Bangs in particular can look heavy, but these were designed to blend in naturally, which gave a much softer feel. When my mother looked in the mirror afterward, she had a satisfied expression, and her whole look felt brighter.
