Prices follow the salon’s Naver Place listing (October 2026). The price also depends on the stylist’s level, hair length and hair condition, and your stylist confirms the final price before work starts.

How hair becomes damaged

Hair is not alive once it leaves the scalp, so it cannot heal itself. Damage builds up from several sources:

• Lightening, which opens the outer layer of the strand.
• Perms and straightening, which change the hair's structure.
• Hot tools used often or at high settings.
• Sun, salt water and chlorine on a trip.
• Rough brushing of wet hair.

Knowing the cause helps the stylist choose what to do, and what to avoid next.

What repair care realistically does

Repair care coats and conditions the strand so it feels smoother and looks shinier. It can reduce tangling and make styling easier for a period of time. It cannot return damaged hair to a new state, and it cannot fix split ends.

Where hair is badly broken, a trim is often the honest answer. Ask the stylist whether a cut should come before care, since the women's haircut page and men's haircut page explain how trims are booked.

The two listed options

The premium hair treatment suits hair that is dry or dull but still holds together. The intensive repair treatment is the deeper item for hair that has been through more. Both are explained side by side on the hair clinic treatment page.

The stylist checks the hair by touch and by sight, then recommends one. The decision is yours, and you can ask for the lighter option first.

Signs your hair needs a rest

1. Hair stretches like gum when wet and does not spring back.
2. Ends are white, frayed or snap at the touch.
3. Color fades fast and the hair looks dull.
4. Brushing leaves a lot of broken short pieces.

If you see these signs, pause new chemical services and ask the stylist how to sequence them.

Aftercare plan

Wash less often with lukewarm water, and use conditioner on the lengths only. Detangle from the ends upward. Use a heat protector before a dryer or iron, and set tools to a moderate heat. Cover your hair in strong sun. After a trip, plan the care visit within a week or two. See the hair damage repair after travel and sun guide for general habits.

Questions worth asking the stylist

Bring a short list. How worn is my hair on a simple scale? Which of the two care items fits, and why? Should I trim first? How soon can I color or perm again? What should I use at home until my next visit? A clear answer to each makes the choice easier, and it keeps you from paying for more care than your hair needs.

If your hair is only mildly dry, say so. A good plan sometimes means the lighter item, or simply better home habits.

Protecting hair on a trip

Travel is a common cause of rough hair. Sun, hard water, pool chlorine and long days in a hat all add up. Pack a wide-tooth comb, a leave-in product and a loose hair tie. Avoid sleeping with tight tied hair, and rinse after swimming. These small habits slow down damage between salon visits. They do not replace care, but they make each visit last longer.
