Nowon hair salon root perm volume for thin hair: Yeum Hair

In short

Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch is a hair salon in Sanggye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul, a 4-minute walk from Nowon Station Exit 7, on the 2nd floor of a building with a Starbucks on the ground floor. Magic setting, a root perm and a clinic treatment turned chest-length semi-curly hair into a medium-length layered C-curl perm, and the flat sides of the head gained volume after just 5 seconds of blow-drying. For someone whose thin hair has long limited her styling options, Yeum Hair is a salon worth settling into.

My hair had been neglected for way too long while I was buried in real life, ㅠㅠ so I finally took a day off and made a big decision to go to the salon! Honestly my hair is super~~~ thin, and I also have prominent cheekbones plus a square jaw, so I've always had a lot of limitations with hairstyles.. So even after going to salons I often ended up unsatisfied, but ever since I met Head Designer Lee Seo, my success era has begun 🎵🎶

I got a layered C-curl perm from Teacher Lee Seo at Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch, a hair salon near Nowon Station, and I'm going to leave an honest review!

Consultation: which treatment suits thin, semi-curly hair?

Long semi-curly hair before the treatment
Checking hair condition before the consultation

Before shampooing, I went into a consultation with Teacher Lee Seo first. My hair was chest-length and semi-curly, with frizz as a bonus.. ^^ Traces of a perm from a long time ago were still left at the ends. You can bring a photo of the hairstyle you want, or just describe it in words like I did — she understands perfectly either way, so no need to worry haha

Consulting with the designer about the hairstyle
Looking at layered C-curl perm sample photos during the consultation

She consulted with me carefully, tailored to my face shape, head shape and hair, which made me trust her even more. I looked at various sample photos while getting an explanation of today's treatment. I decided on magic setting + root perm + clinic treatment for a medium-length layered C-curl perm!

How the layered C-curl perm was done

Starting the root perm treatment
Rods rolled at the roots
Hair during the root perm process
Green tea and cookies provided

She rolled the roots first. Eating green tea and cookies while people-watching outside and spacing out... healing time...

Appearance after the mid-treatment shampoo

In the middle came the shampoo process..! "Is the water temperature okay?" "Yes~" (utopia..😌) Her hand pressure was genuinely amazing.. ㄷㄷ The shampoo was so refreshing and nice!

Refilled tea and snacks with a hand pack

Back at my seat, refilled tea and snacks. I eat well, don't I..? ㅋㅋ The cookies were so delicious.. They also took care of my hands with moisturizing gloves? a hand pack??

Setting the C-curl at the lower part of the hair

She set the C-curl at the bottom,, honestly at this point I looked so ugly I got a little suspicious ㅜㅜㅋㅋ this is going well, right..? (anxious)

Neutralizing and Amos clinic treatment in progress

The finishing clinic treatment and massage chair

Finally, she neutralized the perm and did the clinic treatment. The product used for the clinic treatment was the famous Amos! After a perm, hair can get drier, so she did the finishing clinic treatment thoroughly.

Wow, but there's a massage chair here.. Was I the only one who didn't know something this good existed..? Getting a massage while doing the clinic treatment, I didn't want to get up. Just a little more.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Side volume after the root perm: the results

While blow-drying, she showed me an easy way to follow along at home. Can you see how the previously flat side of my head became puffed up with volume just 5 seconds after blow-drying!!! This is honestly the first time volume has filled in like this after a root perm. It was crazy x100 fascinating.

Finished medium-length layered C-curl perm

Please forgive me for doubting for a moment. I don't usually take selfies,, but I kept taking them anyway haha

Selfie taken after the treatment

When heading home, she also gave me a small hair clip and hair roller as gifts. It really touched me ㅠㅠ ... Everyone was so kind that even an extreme introvert like me could get the treatment comfortably.

I roughly dried it myself alone on the weekend and it looks so natural and I love it~~❣️ If you haven't settled on a hair salon near Nowon Station yet, I highly recommend Head Designer Lee Seo at Yeum Hair Nowon District Office branch!
