Why I chose Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch for a root dye before a wedding

My cousin's wedding was coming up, so I went to Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch for a root dye and a blow-dry. My roots were overdue, but I was feeling so lazy that I kept putting it off, and finally last weekend I made it to the salon.. haha. I had to go to the wedding, and my hair as it was just would not do 😂

I'd already done a tone-down dye once, but between the hippie perm (a loose, tousled wavy perm) and the blow-drying, the color had gotten way too bright. Should I just do the roots, or dye everything..? For the health of my hair, roots only was the right call, but I was really worried about whether they could match the color across the whole head ㅠㅠ

Then I heard about a salon in Wangsimni with good reviews for dyeing, so I booked quickly before slots filled up and got it done! Out of all the salons out there, I picked Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch because the reviews were good and it isn't far from home. The stylist was kind and thorough, and I was very happy overall 👍🏻 If you're looking for a hair salon in Wangsimni or a place that's good at dyeing, this post might help.

The atmosphere at the 10 a.m. weekend opening

I booked the weekend opening slot at 10 and went in. The salon was relatively quiet then, so I could get my treatment in comfort. (Toward the end, more and more customers started coming in, haha)

Overall the place felt clean and pleasant, even a bit upscale, which put me in a good mood when I walked in!

Book on Naver and go straight to your consultation

I booked through Naver (Korea's main search portal and booking platform) and went in, so there was no waiting before the consultation and treatment! ⭐If you plan to visit, definitely book on Naver in advance⭐

We did the root dye color consultation over the drinks and cookies they had prepared. The color near the scalp and the mid-lengths differed slightly, and they said they would match the color so it blends as naturally as possible 🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♂️

Hair before the treatment: brightened after the hippie perm

My hair was pretty damaged from the recent hippie perm..? ㅠㅠ The color got paler toward the ends, and near the scalp the new growth made the difference really obvious. (Probably the biggest downside of dyeing.. 😭)

The root dye and C-curl blow-dry results

After the root dye at Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch, the color was matched from scalp to ends as if I'd dyed everything 💘 Look at my hair after the treatment, it's seamless, right?!

For the blow-dry I asked for a C-curl (ends curving inward in a C shape) because of the wedding, and they styled it neat and tidy. I was so, so happy with it.

Overall review of Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch

I'd been stressed about my roots, and after visiting Uahan Meori Wangsimni Centras Branch I wondered why I hadn't come sooner, I was that satisfied! The root color was blended naturally, and when I asked for a C-curl blow-dry over my hippie perm style, they got exactly the look I wanted 👍🏻👍🏻

I recommend it as a place that does hair well in Wangsimni, so if you're looking for a hair salon in Wangsimni, give it a try.
