Gangdong hair salon black tone-down and hime cut: Yume's Hair

With autumn arriving, I suddenly wanted to change my hair, you know? Usually I just get a simple tidy-up, but this time I was really craving a hime cut! Since the feel of a hime cut can change so much depending on how it is cut compared with other styles, I found Yume's Hair while looking for a hair salon in Cheonho that is good at cuts.

Location and access at Yume's Hair Cheonho Branch

Exterior

Yume's Hair is on the first floor of the Gangdong Travel building. Both Gangdong Station and Cheonho Station are nearby, so it was easy to get to, and parking is available too, which was nice.

When I went up to the second floor, there was the neat-looking salon right away. It is right there when you get off the elevator, so it is easy to find -

Inside

The stylist I booked this time was Designer Taeri! To give you the conclusion first, I was seriously sooo satisfied.. 🤎 She is the kind of person who understands 10 when I say 1(?)..

You can reserve through Naver, and until December, Designer Taeri has a limited event: 15% off partial services (cuts, down perms, and root perms), and 30% off full services (full color and full clinic treatments). So I think it would be great to make sure you book through Naver before visiting.

The interior was kept very clean, and the floor-to-ceiling window view made me feel good throughout my appointment 💡

Why is a face-shape consultation important for a hime cut?

Because you should get a hime cut somewhere that does it well, right?

Those of you who have had a hime cut know that it is absolutely not a style where you just chop the side hair and call it done. It is very, very important to decide where to create the line for your face shape and how far to cut the length.

Before the actual appointment, she picked up on exactly the hair I wanted through a thorough one-on-one consultation -

• Although I wanted black hair, I wanted a tone-down rather than a true jet-black dye, in case the brown showed through.
• I wanted the hime cut to be a point of interest while still falling naturally.
• I wanted fuller bangs for a younger-looking feel!

My uneven pre-appointment hair color

Before

After coloring my hair several times already, the tones on the top and bottom did not match, and I urgently needed my roots done.

I also recently had my personal color analyzed, and apparently I am a cool light type who really does not suit brown hair, so they said black hair or red would suit me no matter what. Red is a little hard for me to try because of my job..^^ So, to welcome autumn, I decided to try a tone-down!

After the black tone-down and hime cut

Black color + hime cut + bangs

There is nothing like color to change up the mood. Her hands were so quick that I think the whole thing took an hour. Honestly, the hardest thing when you go get your hair done is saying, “Please make it exactly like this photo,” but she caught that vague feeling perfectly and made it exactly how I wanted.. 🖤

Pairing a dark autumn color with a hime cut gave me exactly the mood I wanted.. 🥹

Plus, she cut the hime layers so they flowed beautifully along my jawline, just enough to complement my face shape, so I absolutely loved the combination of the tone-down, hime cut, and full bangs. If you want an autumn mood and your preferred vibe is like mine, I recommend a hime cut! And especially Designer Taeri at Yume's Hair.. she does such a stylish cut, so I highly, highly recommend her 🤎

I loved my hair so much after leaving that I took 100 photos that day.. 🖤 Even if you cannot explain your desired style perfectly, book Designer Taeri, the hair genius who gives you a customized cut while considering your face shape and overall mood, and treat yourself to an autumn refresh 🖤
