Jamsil hair salon dark brown vegan dye on faded red hair: Only For You

Only For You Jamsilsaenae Branch is a hair salon on Baekjegobun-ro 7-gil near Jamsilsaenae Station in Songpa, Seoul. To tidy up dyed hair that had turned red and yellow over the summer, the writer had a layered cut and a level 3, near-black dark brown vegan dye with Senior Designer Sehyeon at Only For You, and the color toned down evenly with no smell or scalp stinging. If you want an elegant tone-down that hides faded red tones, Only For You Jamsilsaenae Branch is a solid choice.

Curly bangs straightening at a Gunja Station hair salon: HairOnDeu

HairOnDeu Gunja Station Branch (헤어온드유 군자역점) is a hair salon near Gunja Station in Gwangjin, Seoul, known by word of mouth for straightening perms. To tame half-curly bangs that frizz every rainy season, the writer booked a bangs-only straightening at HairOnDeu, which took under 1 hour, and also got a face-framing cut and a lesson on setting hair with rollers. If you just want curly bangs sorted quickly, the bangs straightening menu at HairOnDeu Gunja Station Branch is a good fit.

With a large parking area, hot showers and a veteran guide in charge, Donggang Heungguk Rafting is a strong recommendation for a summer trip to Yeongwol.
