What makes a Korean salon different
Korean salons often treat the hair service as a planned sequence. A stylist looks at your hair condition, agrees a plan, then carries out the cut, perm, color or care in the order that protects the hair. A visit can combine services, such as a cut followed by a treatment.
This is general background, not a promise about any single visit. At WENEED BLACK THE CHEONGDAM the stylist decides the plan with you in the chair, and the stylist confirms the final price.
Step 1: choose a stylist and book
Booking is through the salon's Naver Place and Naver Booking. Each stylist has an individual booking page. The team is Sil (Head Director), Suna (선아) and Hyungwook (형욱, Hair Designer). Pick one, look at the available times and choose a slot. The booking guide has the full sequence.
Step 2: get there
The address is 4F, 34 Apgujeong-ro 80-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 압구정로80길 34, 4층). Take the Suin-Bundang Line to Apgujeong Rodeo Station and leave by Exit 3. The salon is 586 m from the exit. Check the directions page for the building details, then go up to the 4th floor.
Step 3: the chair
The salon has a private styling area with curtains that close off the view from outside. Show your reference photos and describe your hair history. Useful points to mention:
- Any color, bleach or perm in the last 12 months.
- How you style your hair at home each day.
- How much time you want to spend on styling.
- Any scalp sensitivity you know about.
The more clearly you describe your hair, the easier it is to agree a plan. Our guide on explaining your hairstyle gives example phrases.
Step 4: price and payment
Pricing is based on stylist level, such as Designer or Director. Length and condition also matter. Agree the plan, then confirm the price with the stylist before the service starts. The menu from the Naver Place listing is on the price list. We make no statement here about payment options, so check with the salon.
Step 5: aftercare
Ask for care advice for the service you chose. After a perm, hair usually needs gentle handling in the first days. After color, a mild routine helps hold the tone. These are general points. Your stylist will give advice that fits your own hair.
