Hair & beauty salons in Korea, told firsthand by local bloggers — with photos and Google Maps.
Reubia Hair Bucheon Branch is a hair salon on Gilju-ro in Bucheon, where I went to even out unevenly faded color before a semi-wedding shoot. After a consultation based on my hair condition, skin tone, and studio setting, I chose a gray tone; it initially felt dark but looked naturally blended once dried.
Rose Lash is an eyelash extension studio about a five-minute walk from Jamsilsaenae Station in Songpa, Seoul. I chose mixed 9, 10, and 11 mm black flat lashes to lengthen the outer corners; the roughly 50-minute treatment was painless for me, and I liked the eyeliner-like effect that made my eyes look longer.
Lamoon Brow is a semi-permanent lip makeup studio in Seocho, Seoul, near Gangnam Station. I had my first session to address my dark lip tone and asymmetry, and was happy with the healthier-looking color after about five days, though the second touch-up is still pending.
Divers Barbershop near Gangnam-gu Office Station in Gangnam, Seoul, is a small barbershop run by two barbers. I got a Ga-il cut and a down perm for my curly, puffing side hair in about an hour; it kept volume on top and was easier to manage after washing at home.
JUNO HAIR Guwol-dong Rodeo Branch is a hair salon in Namdong, Incheon. After a consultation about my hair condition and growth direction, I got a natural, tidy dandy cut. The sides and back looked neater while the top kept natural volume, and I was pleased with the result.
Vivienne Hair, Changwon Sangnam branch is a hair salon in Changwon, Gyeongnam, where I received dark root coloring for gray coverage and a shoulder-length layered cut. My gray hairs were covered evenly and the ends looked tidier; I also found the scalp irritation milder and did not notice a strong dye smell.
With Me Hair is a one-on-one hair salon on Dongseong-ro 4-gil in Jung, Daegu. I received a recovery perm for fine, limp hair in about 1 hour 10 minutes and was happy with the curls, though the building parking is limited.
Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch is an eyebrow-grooming studio about five minutes’ walk from Gangnam Station. I received a consultation on my face shape, eye shape, and brow asymmetry, followed by grooming and guidance on brow makeup and at-home care. The orderly tools, clean space, and practical aftercare explanation stood out.
Iggeulrida is a one-person hair salon on the first floor of the Casa Milla complex in Sincheon-dong, Daegu. I had a layered mid-length cut, straightening, and a C-curl perm to reduce my daily styling time, and liked the lighter length and neatly settled ends. The basement parking entrance felt narrow.
Goeum Hair Salon is a hair salon on the second floor of the north side of the Cheongna Exlu Tower shopping complex in Seohae, Incheon. I received a regular hippie perm there and liked its defined, bouncy curls, while the detailed advice on curl cream and drying after shampooing was helpful.
Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch is a hair salon in Nowon, Seoul. After discussing my dry, breakage-prone hair, I got a hush perm with natural layers, curls, and volume. It still needs at-home care, but the styling felt less demanding than I expected.
Terra is a one-on-one aromatherapy body care spa in Sunae-dong, Seongnam, operating by reservation in an apartment shopping complex. I received the 90-minute dry Terra Release full-body course after a foot bath; it felt tailored to my condition, though the shoulder and neck work was a little painful.
