Hair salon in Seoul: choosing one and booking a slot
Seoul has a very large number of salons, spread across many districts. Narrowing the list starts with where you will be, which days you are free and what you want done. This page sets out how to decide, and where WENEED BLACK THE CHEONGDAM fits in Gangnam-gu.
WENEED BLACK THE CHEONGDAM · Updated October 2026
Start with the district, not the salon name
Seoul is large, and a trip across the city can take a real share of your day. Before you compare salons, decide which district suits your schedule. If you stay or work in Gangnam-gu, a salon there saves a cross-city ride. If you are elsewhere, check your own route first with a route planner.
WENEED BLACK THE CHEONGDAM is in Gangnam-gu, at 4F, 34 Apgujeong-ro 80-gil. We give no travel times to other parts of the city, because they depend on the day and the route.
Then match the service to the visit
Different services suit different schedules. As a rough guide, a cut is a short visit. A perm or a color change takes longer, and bleach can take longer still. A head spa or a care treatment can be added to another service or booked alone.
The menu here covers cut, perm, color, care and head spa. See the services menu for the full list, or start from haircut services if you only need a trim.
Check the open days
Salon calendars in Seoul vary. WENEED BLACK THE CHEONGDAM is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 19:30 and is closed on Sunday and Monday. If you land on a Sunday, plan the appointment for later in the week. If you are a resident, it is worth checking whether a Saturday slot suits you better than a weekday one.
Reaching the salon by metro
The nearest station is Apgujeong Rodeo Station on the Suin-Bundang Line, Exit 3, 586 m from the salon. Enter the Korean address, 서울 강남구 압구정로80길 34, 4층, in a map app and compare the route from your accommodation. The directions page gives the building details.
Booking
Bookings are made through Naver Place and Naver Booking. Each of the three stylists, Sil, Suna and Hyungwook, has an individual booking page. Choose a person, then a time. The how to book page explains the steps.
Price structure
Pricing here depends on stylist level, such as Designer or Director, as well as hair length and condition. The stylist confirms the final price. A tip for comparing across Seoul: always ask which stylist level a quote refers to, and whether the figure assumes short or long hair. Two quotes that look far apart are often simply for different levels or different lengths. See the price list for the menu.
What to prepare
A little preparation makes the visit smoother, whatever service you choose.
- The Korean address of the salon, saved offline.
- Photos of the style you want from several angles.
- A short note on your hair history.
- A buffer in your day, in case a service runs long.
