Hair salon for expats in Seoul: a regular stylist in Gangnam-gu
Residents think about a salon differently from tourists. You want a stylist you can return to, a routine that fits your work week and pricing you can understand over time. This page covers those points for WENEED BLACK THE CHEONGDAM in Gangnam-gu.

A regular salon is a different decision
A tourist asks whether the trip allows an appointment. A resident asks whether the salon will still suit them six months from now. That means a few more questions: how easy is it to rebook, can you keep the same stylist, and does the pricing stay predictable.
We answer what we can confirm. We cannot promise anything about the future, but the structure of the salon is clear, and you can judge it from the pages.
Keeping the same stylist
Each of the three stylists, Sil (Head Director), Suna and Hyungwook (Hair Designer), has an individual Naver Booking page. If you like the result from one visit, you can return to the same page for the next. That is the practical way to keep continuity. The stylists page shows how the team is listed.
Fitting the work week
The salon is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 to 19:30, and closed on Sunday and Monday. If you work office hours on weekdays, Saturday and the late part of the day are the options to check. A cut usually takes less time than a perm or color, so match the service to the gap in your week.
A planning habit helps. Book the next appointment as soon as you know your schedule, rather than when the hair already looks overgrown.
Planning a cycle of services
Different services run on different cycles. These are general ranges, and your stylist decides what suits your hair:
- A cut keeps its shape for a number of weeks, and the line softens as the hair grows.
- A color grows out at the root, so a root touch-up keeps it even.
- A perm relaxes slowly as the hair grows, and timing depends on the type.
- Care and head spa sessions can be spaced to match how dry or oily your scalp feels.
Ask the stylist to suggest a cycle after the first visit. See the services menu for what is offered.
Understanding the price rule
Pricing is based on stylist level, such as Designer or Director. Length and condition also play a part, and the stylist confirms the final price. For a regular client, the level you choose is the main variable. The price list and the guide to haircut prices by stylist level explain how the structure works.
Getting there
The salon is at 4F, 34 Apgujeong-ro 80-gil, Gangnam-gu. The nearest station is Apgujeong Rodeo on the Suin-Bundang Line, Exit 3, 586 m away. Residents know their own route well, so enter the Korean address in your usual map app and compare it with your commute.
