Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch is a hair salon in Nowon, Seoul, where I had wedding hair coloring and basic hair care one week before a wedding-snap shoot. The initial color felt a little dark, but once dried, I liked its even, subdued finish and the softer feel of my hair.

Lamoon Brow is a private lip tattoo studio in Seocho, Seoul, where I had my first procedure to soften my lips’ purplish, dark outline. The coral tone and reduced dark border pleased me after five days, though I planned to wait a month before deciding on a touch-up.
Vivienne Hair, Changwon Sangnam branch is a hair salon on Danjeong-ro in Sangnam-dong, Changwon, where I had root coloring and a scalp steam head spa. The root tone looked natural afterward, and the head spa was comfortable, though parking in the building is limited.

Divers Barbershop Gangnam-gu Office Station Branch is a barbershop in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul, connected underground to Exit 2 of Gangnam-gu Office Station.

The waits during the service felt long, but I liked the lighter finished style and the detailed at-home drying advice.
Ieum Men's Hair Bucheon City Hall Station Branch is a men's hair salon about a four-minute walk from Bucheon City Hall Station. My husband, who has fine, sparse hair, received a side down perm and an as perm on top, which gave him calmer sides and natural volume. I also appreciated the simple at-home styling guidance for someone who rarely styles his hair.
Lamoon Brow is a one-person beauty studio in Seocho, Seoul, where I received lip semi-permanent makeup after a color consultation based on my skin tone and natural lip color. I liked the tailored consultation and immediate healthy-looking color, but there was pain and swelling, and I have not yet seen the final color after peeling.
Vivienne Hair, Changwon Sangnam branch is a hair salon in Sangnam-dong, Seongsan-gu, Changwon. I received a volume perm while keeping my short bob length, and liked the inward C-curl ends, natural root volume, and at-home styling guidance.
