Hwaseong hair salon layered C-curl perm for faster styling: Juno Hair

I am not usually someone who makes huge changes to my style. Even when I went to a hair salon, I consistently just got the usual straightening treatment or all-over color. But hair that has only been straightened gets frizzy and untidy at the ends over time. In the end, I went to work every morning after adding waves with a curling iron to cover the frizz, and honestly, it took a lot of effort and quite a while, so it was no small hassle.

I decided this could not go on, so I took a weekday morning off to find a hair salon near Dongtan Station—both for a change of style and to cut down my hair-styling time.

Parking tips for new drivers

If you are visiting by car, make sure you check the parking-lot entrance carefully. It was my first time there too, so I got a little confused, accidentally entered the Lotte Department Store parking lot, and had to come back out.

To avoid my mistake, pass the Lotte Department Store parking lot and enter the parking lot for the Lotte apartment retail building. Since the salon is in Building B, there are clear directional markings on the parking-lot floor.

Just follow the floor signs and even a new driver can park without much trouble.

They also neatly registered my parking validation while I was receiving my service.

The branch atmosphere and one-on-one consultation

I have visited other Juno Hair branches too, but each one has a slightly different interior concept and atmosphere, which makes them fun to look around.

Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch was spacious and pleasant, and the paths for clients were well separated, so I felt comfortable throughout my appointment.

The waiting area had a wide selection of books to keep you from getting bored, and they brought me refreshing green tangerine tea and snacks, so I happily waited with my tea.

There was also a separate kids' room on one side, so I thought it would be easy for parents who need to visit with a child to come without feeling burdened.

Director Ha Ho-seong personally handled my consultation that day. When I said I had no idea which style to choose, he first checked my current hair condition and my lifestyle of regularly wearing curls made with a curling iron. Then he showed me photos of styles that might suit my image and helped me settle on a direction one-on-one.

My hair was quite dried out from consistent straightening and coloring, but rather than suggesting an excessive treatment, he recommended a layered C-curl perm that would tame the frizzy texture while minimizing damage and still look styled after a quick rough blow-dry. So that is what I decided on.

The layered C-curl perm process and the change

From the cutting stage, I could tell that he was carefully balancing the layers.

He also kept checking throughout the treatment to make sure I was comfortable.

The shampoo room here consists of private single-person rooms, so I could have my hair washed in a very comfortable atmosphere without other people watching.

For reference, I did not use the Verse Spa shampoo bed with a full-body massage function because it is for weekends only, but the regular shampoo bed was comfortable enough! In particular, the staff member gave me wonderfully refreshing scalp pressure massage while shampooing, and it felt like all my fatigue melted away. They carried out the perm together with care to prevent hair damage, then checked the result after finishing with a blow-dry.

I had been exhausted from using a curling iron every morning, but even with just a light blow-dry and no special technique, my previously frizzy hair became calm and tidy and the natural curls distinctive to a layered C-curl perm came to life. The overall balance was so good that it really changed my look and lifted my mood.

How to bring out the curls at home and care for your hair

Honestly, there is no point if it only looks pretty at the salon and you cannot style it yourself at home.

When I told Director Ha Ho-seong that I am clumsy with styling, he explained the tips I could follow by myself at home in detail.

• How to dry it: After rough-drying all of my hair, he showed me exactly how to twist just the ends around my fingers and in which direction to dry them so the curls would come out beautifully.
• Moisture care and treatment schedule: Since my hair was dry from straightening and coloring, he said moisture care was essential and kindly taught me when to apply essence, how to manage moisture at home, and an appropriate schedule for salon treatments.

Now I will not have to wrestle with a curling iron every morning, so I think getting ready for work will take much less time.

Overall visit review

It was a satisfying visit because, without excessive praise or uncomfortable sales pressure, I received a suitable treatment for my hair condition as well as detailed styling tips. The salon atmosphere was pleasant and its layout was well divided, making it a comfortable place to spend time with a sense of privacy. If you are tired of styling with an iron every day or considering an easy-to-manage layered C-curl perm, you may want to keep Director Ha Ho-seong at Juno Hair Dongtan SRT Station Branch on your list of hair salons near Dongtan Station.
