Red brown dye at a Sangwangsimni Station hair salon: Oreudeubi

I went to Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch for a red brown dye job — figured it was time to switch up the vibe haha. It's on the first floor of the Centras shopping complex, so even as a first-timer I found it without any trouble~! I was looking around for a hair salon near Sangwangsimni and the location seemed good and the vibe looked clean, so I decided to go~~

Where is Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch, and what is the first-visit discount?

There was a big banner out front advertising a 30% discount for first-time customers!! Price is always a bit of a worry at a new salon, so having a perk like this took some of the pressure off~ You can also join a review event for a gift, so it's worth checking before your visit hahaha

The whole entrance had a clean, calm feel~~ The floor-to-ceiling glass let you see inside, so walking in for the first time didn't feel stuffy at all haha. Instead of the usual chaotic salon energy, the first impression was comfortable and easy to get a service done in~

Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Station Branch is at 118, 1F, Centras Shopping Mall Bldg I, 410 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul! It's close to Sangwangsimni Station so it's easy to get to by public transit, and parking is available too, which is handy if you're driving haha. Naver reservations are possible as well, so if you're looking for a hair salon in Sangwangsimni, I'd recommend booking ahead for your preferred time haha

I arrived a bit earlier than my appointment and waited inside for a bit~! The waiting area wasn't cramped or busy either, so I could sit comfortably hahaha. Since it didn't feel crowded even before the service started, it made me feel a little more relaxed too~~

Inside the salon: seating and the free drinks and snack corner

The inside of Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Branch is decorated in bright, soft tones, so overall it feels clean!! The mirrors and seats weren't cramped together either, so it was comfortable during the service~ Rather than an overly flashy interior, it had a vibe you wouldn't get tired of even after staying a long time, which I liked haha

On one side there was a separate area for coffee, tea, and snacks~~ For a service that takes a while like dyeing, you sometimes get a sugar crash midway, so a spot like this is honestly welcome haha. There wasn't just one or two options either — plenty to pick from depending on your taste~!

The counter area was tidy too, no clutter of products or knick-knacks piled up haha. From checking in on arrival to paying after the service, the flow was smooth!! Everything felt well managed, so even as a first-time visitor to this Sangwangsimni salon, my impression was good~

Hair condition before the dye and the red brown consultation with Designer Haru

This is what my hair looked like before! Lots of regrown black showing, right?! haha My existing color felt a bit flat, so this time I decided to switch things up dramatically with red brown~!

Once I let my hair down, the current color and condition were easier to see! Designer Haru asked what shade I wanted and checked over my existing hair condition together with me hahaha. Instead of going full-on red, we settled on a red brown that would be easy to maintain without feeling like too much~~

From scalp-protection spray to the full red brown application

Before applying the dye, she carefully sprayed on scalp-protection spray first~! If your scalp is sensitive, even the feeling of the dye touching it can be a worry, so having this step first was reassuring haha. The end result matters, but I really appreciated how carefully they handled these basic steps beforehand~~!

There was quite a variety of drinks available during the service too hahaha. For coffee there's Americano and mix coffee, and for tea there's sweet yuzu, peppermint, rooibos, and green tea~ For juice you can pick from green grape, orange, or apple, so even non-coffee drinkers have plenty of options!!

After the consultation, the red brown color application began in earnest!! She sectioned the hair carefully to make sure the color came out even overall haha. I wanted a look where the red wasn't too strong but gave a subtle accent to the brown, and I was getting more and more curious about the result~!

Once the full application was done, we waited a while for the color to develop properly! It was applied evenly from root to tip without missing a spot, so I could expect a uniform overall color haha. Dyeing takes a fairly long waiting time, but she kept checking in on whether I was comfortable, so it was an easy wait~~

Iced tea and snacks while the color develops

While waiting, they brought out cold iced tea and snacks too~! I'd come straight from work and was getting a little hungry, so snacks showing up at that moment made me genuinely happy hahaha. Even though dyeing takes a long time, eating snacks and resting made the time go by faster than expected~~!

The iced tea was sweet and cool, perfect for sipping lightly while waiting for the dye to set!! Sitting there for so long, your mouth gets bored, and sipping this bit by bit was just right~ It felt like a little break in the middle of the service, which made it even more comfortable haha

There were several kinds of snacks too, so I could pick whatever I wanted~~ Little touches like this really boost the overall satisfaction I think~!

Massage-chair shampoo and how the finished red brown looks

After the dye time was up, they thoroughly shampooed out any remaining product! And it was even in a massage chair, which honestly felt amazing?! Once my scalp was rinsed clean and cool, I felt so refreshed~~

Once the blow-dry was done too, the red brown color I wanted had really come through~! With red subtly showing through a brown base, even my face looked a bit more lively haha. It wasn't overly bright red, just a color that's easy to keep up with day to day, which I liked a lot~~!

The red really stood out beautifully when it caught light or lighting!! Indoors it leans toward a calm brown, and in bright spots the red tone comes alive~ It wasn't a flat single-tone look but changed with the angle, which was really appealing haha

Looking at it overall, just changing the color made a real difference to the whole vibe~~ The dull look faded and my hair had shine, making the red brown stand out even more haha. It also matched my skin tone well, so I was really happy with this color choice~! Anyone thinking about a natural image change through dyeing at a Sangwangsimni hair salon should definitely consider a consultation haha

Home care after dyeing: the blueberry oil serum

After the service was done, they also gave me a blueberry oil serum separately~! After dyeing, hair care matters just as much as the color, so I'm planning to use it at home when I blow-dry haha. I liked that they made sure the care didn't stop at the salon but continued at home too~~

This red brown dye job was done by Designer Haru!! From the first consultation, I could comfortably explain the look I wanted, and the result turned out really pretty~!!!

Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni prices and VIP membership

At Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Branch, there's a clear price list for everything from cuts to dyeing and perms~~ Dyeing and perm prices can vary depending on hair length and service details, so it's most accurate to ask during a consultation when booking~! Comparing this with the first-visit discount would be helpful for anyone visiting a Sangwangsimni hair salon for the first time haha

There was also info posted separately about a VIP membership prepayment perk for regular customers~! If you get your hair dyed or permed regularly, it's worth comparing what benefits come with that versus paying normally each time hahaha. If you're not just visiting once but planning to keep up regular care, a membership like this seems really practical~~

Every step, from scalp protection to dye application to the shampoo, felt comfortable to sit through!! Best of all, the red brown I wanted came out natural without being too bright, so I think I can keep it up easily in daily life haha. If you're considering a dye or color change at a hair salon in Sangwangsimni, it might be worth consulting with Designer Haru about the look you want~~ From drinks and snacks to the home care serum, Oreudeubi Sangwangsimni Branch took care of every detail and left me in a great mood~!
