Hair & beauty salons in Korea, told firsthand by local bloggers — with photos and Google Maps.
Vivienne Hair, Changwon Sangnam branch is a hair salon in Seongsan-gu, Changwon. Three years after giving birth, I received a layered cut, A. Yoon Chae Repair Clinic treatment, and Objet perm through sponsorship; the 3½-hour visit left me with natural C-curls and smoother-looking hair, though the parking support was shorter than the service.
Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch is an eyebrow grooming studio in Seocho, Seoul. I visited for dense brows with lingering red semi-permanent makeup and received shaping and makeup guidance for about an hour; the explanation was helpful, though I am still unsure whether I can recreate it well at home.
One & Only Hair Gwacheon Cheongsa Station branch is a hair salon two minutes from Exit 1 of Government Gwacheon Government Complex Station. I received Ojuá Quench and Smooth treatments, a layered cut, and a blow-dry for my fine, wavy hair; my hair looked moisturized and the style lasted through the evening, so I was satisfied.
The Art Hair Unjeong Station is a hair salon within walking distance of Unjeong Station in Paju. I received a CS perm using root and heat perms, and was satisfied with the natural curls and volume while keeping my hair length.
Tthe Art Hair Unjeong Station Branch is a hair salon in Paju, Gyeonggi, where I had a cut, C-curl volume straightening, and an iron root perm for layered medium-length hair. The roughly 3.5-hour appointment kept as much length as possible and made the inward-curving ends easier for me to style at home.
Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch is a hair salon on Nohae-ro in Nowon, Seoul, where I took my mother for wedding-party hair coloring before my wedding. Her faded reddish hair was colored matte brown and treated with a three-step moisture clinic; we were happy with the calmer color and softer texture.
Ieum Men's Hair Bucheon City Hall Station Branch is a men's hair salon on the third floor of a building in front of Bucheon City Hall Station. My son had a cut and down perm that tidied his side hair and sideburns without taking off too much length; the partitioned seating and clear explanations made the visit comfortable.
Urban Ground Hair Sangwangsimni Station Branch is a hair salon in Seongdong, Seoul. I went in hoping for a jelly perm, but after discussing my heavily thinned hair and face shape, I chose a medium-length rough perm with a hair treatment and root perm. It differed from the wave style I first had in mind, but I liked its naturally lifted volume.
Reubia Hair (르비아 헤어) is a hair salon on the third floor of City Office, a three-minute walk from Exit 5 of Bucheon City Hall Station in Bucheon. I had a root touch-up matched to my existing hair color and a hand-performed head spa in a massage chair; the color blended naturally, and the spa was restful.
Lamoon Brow is a beauty studio near Gangnam Station in Seocho, Seoul, where I had a coral-toned lip tattoo and correction to my upper-lip line. I liked the natural shape and color right afterward, though the color looked lighter after peeling on day three.
Divers Barbershop at Gangnam-gu Office Station is a men’s barbershop in Gangnam, Seoul. My husband traded his usual two-block cut for a classic cut and light fringe perm shaped around his head. It made the areas that looked sparse less noticeable, and he found it manageable to style at home the next day.
Juno Hair Guwol-dong Rodeo Branch is a hair salon in Namdong, Incheon, where I had a short men’s haircut and gray coverage. The careful consultation, line cleanup, and final check after shampooing were satisfying, and the kids’ zone was helpful when I visited with children.
