Men's down perm for puffy side hair at Moaroom, a Jeonju hair salon

Moaroom Jeonju Gaeksa (MOAROOM) is a hair salon in the Gaeksa shopping area of Wansan-gu, Jeonju. The writer took her boyfriend, who needed a new hairstyle, to Moaroom for a 1:1 consultation, a men's cut and a down perm, and his side hair, which used to puff out, now lies flat, giving a slim, dandy line that even makes his head look smaller.
