Vivienne Hair, Changwon Sangnam branch is a hair salon in Seongsan-gu, Changwon, where I had a cut and jelly perm. The bouncy, tightly defined curls turned out as I wanted, and the spacious salon, self-service bar, and parking support made the appointment comfortable.
Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch is an eyebrow grooming studio in Seocho, Seoul, near Gangnam Station. On my first visit, I received grooming, brow makeup, and a detailed consultation, learning how to shape the brow arch and fill sparse areas. I was happy with the thin shape tailored to my preference, though the full first-visit combination came to ₩60,000.
One and Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station Branch is a hair salon two minutes on foot from Exit 1 of Government Complex Gwacheon Station. I had my uneven layered-cut lines repaired and received volume straightening to smooth my frizz, and I was happy with the natural connection around my bangs and sides while keeping crown volume.
Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch is a hair salon 200 m from Exit 7 of Nowon Station in Seoul. I requested straightening for my new wavy growth and C or CS curls from the mid-lengths down; the treatment took about three hours. Some old layers remained, but the waves looked natural and still held after a simple blow-dry a week later.
Ieum Men's Hair Bucheon City Hall Station Branch is a men's hair salon in Wonmi-gu, Bucheon. I received a down perm after discussing my hair condition and daily styling routine, and my lifted sides looked naturally neater without being pressed too flat.
Vivienne Hair, Changwon Sangnam branch is a hair salon on Danjeong-ro in Seongsan-gu, Changwon. On my second visit, I went ahead with a bob perm despite damage from coloring and straightening treatments. The curls turned out better than expected, and once I learned how to style it at home, it was easier to manage without my daily curling iron.
Urban Ground Hair Sangwangsimni Station Branch is a hair salon one minute from Exit 4 of Sangwangsimni Station in Seongdong, Seoul. I received the Nanoheel Premium Clinic for hair damaged by frequent coloring and heat styling; it felt firmer rather than simply softer afterward, and the clear explanations and spa-room massage chair made the visit comfortable.
Lamoon Brow is a one-person lip blushing studio about two minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 5 in Seocho, Seoul. I chose a two-color Lush Pink gradient, and after the first day’s mild swelling settled, I liked the clearer lip line and pink tone, though public transit felt more practical than the paid parking.
Levia Hair Bucheon Branch is a hair salon between Bucheon City Hall and Sinjung-dong stations in Bucheon, Gyeonggi. After discussing my round face shape and styling concerns, I had a layered cut and C-curl perm on my long hair. My hair felt much lighter, though the extra layers require upkeep and practice when blow-drying.
Divers Barbershop Gangnam-gu Office Station Branch is a men’s barbershop near Gangnam-gu Office Station in Gangnam, Seoul. I went in to tidy overgrown hair and a loosened down perm, and was happy with the naturally neatened sides and back, plus the styling advice for home.
Juno Hair Guwol-dong Rodeo Branch is a hair salon in Namdong, Incheon, where my boyfriend had his first darker gray-coverage color service and a cut. His naturally dark hair did not change dramatically, but the grays were covered and the cut suited the style he wanted.
Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch is an eyebrow-grooming studio in Seocho, Seoul. I received a one-to-one consultation and shaping for my thick, coarse brows, and learned how to draw them at home; I liked the softer result, though booking felt difficult because it was busy.
