Hair color in Cheongdam, Seoul

Hair color prices at WENEED BLACK Cheongdam

These are the rows on the salon menu, taken from the Naver Place listing. The stylist confirms the final price at the salon. It depends on stylist level, hair length and hair condition.

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.

Two color services, two different jobs

The color menu has two coloring rows. Full hair coloring applies color from the roots to the ends. Root touch-up treats only the new growth at the scalp and leaves the lengths alone. If you are unsure which one you need, look in a mirror under daylight. A clear line between your color and your natural hair points to a touch-up. A faded, uneven or unwanted shade along the whole length points to full coloring.

Lightening is a separate step. Hair bleaching is listed on its own, and you can read about it on the bleach page.

Understanding levels and undertones

Stylists describe hair with two ideas. Level is how light or dark the hair is, usually on a scale from 1 (black) to 10 (very pale blonde). Undertone is the warmth hiding inside the color. Dark hair carries red and orange. Mid-level hair carries orange and yellow. Pale hair carries yellow.

This is why the same shade name looks different on different heads. A cool brown on level 4 hair looks deep and quiet. The same formula on level 8 hair can look lighter and greyer. Your stylist reads your current level and undertone first, then picks a formula to reach the target.

Color alone, or lightening first

Permanent color can make hair darker without help. To go lighter, the color has to lift your existing pigment, and the amount of lift from regular color is limited. Black or very dark brown hair that should become light brown, beige or any pastel will usually need bleach first.

• Same level or darker: color only, one step.
• One to two levels lighter: often possible with color alone, depending on past dyeing.
• Three or more levels lighter: lightening is normally part of the plan.

Hair that was dyed before is harder to judge, because old artificial color does not lift the same way as natural hair. Tell the stylist when and what you dyed last.

What to bring and what to say

A clear brief saves time in the chair.

• Two or three photos of the color you want, taken in daylight if possible.
• One photo of a color you do not want, which is often more useful than a second wish.
• A short history: color, bleach, perm and straightening, with approximate months.
• Any itching or reaction you have had with hair dye.

Shade pages for common requests

Many people arrive with a shade name rather than a service name. These pages explain individual shades: ash, milk tea brown, blue-black and pastel pink. The salon menu lists services, not shades, so the stylist maps your shade to the listed service and confirms the price.

Looking after new color

General habits help any color last longer. Wash with lukewarm water. Use a shampoo made for color-treated hair. Keep very hot tools and long sun exposure to a minimum, because heat and UV both fade pigment. Ask your stylist how long to wait before the first wash, since advice differs by formula. If the ends feel dry afterwards, see hair clinic treatment.
