Korean Perm in Cheongdam, Seoul

Korean perm price at WENEED BLACK Cheongdam

The basic perm is the general-purpose option on the menu. Shaped or heat-set perms have their own pages and prices.

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.

What a Korean perm actually is

The term is a loose label rather than one technique. It usually describes a perm that is designed to look like styled, healthy hair instead of obvious curls. The wave is soft at the top, clearer through the lengths, and it tends to grow out without a hard line.

Behind the look is a simple process. The stylist wraps sections of hair around rods, applies a solution that softens the internal bonds of the hair, and then sets the new shape with a second step. Cold perms use only chemistry. Heat-assisted perms add a warm tool, which is the family covered on the digital perm page.

Who it suits

A basic Korean perm works well for several kinds of hair and goals:

• Straight, dark hair that looks flat and needs movement.
• Medium to long hair where you want waves that start below the cheekbone.
• Fine hair that needs body without daily heat styling.
• Hair that is healthy, evenly coloured or uncoloured.

Very damaged, very porous or heavily lightened hair is a different case. The stylist may suggest a gentler plan, a different perm, or a repair step first.

How the basic perm is priced

The listed basic perm is ₩187,000. Pricing at the salon follows stylist level, so the figure you pay is confirmed once the stylist has seen your length, thickness and condition. Long or dense hair needs more product and more time, and that is the usual reason a quote changes.

If you want a clearly heat-set shape, the setting / digital perm is a separate line on the menu. The Korean perm price page explains what moves the final figure, and the price list shows every service.

What to prepare before your visit

1. Two or three photos of the wave you like, plus one of a result you do not want.
2. The length you want after the perm. Waves lift hair, so it can look shorter.
3. Your colour, bleach or previous perm history, with approximate dates.
4. Any scalp sensitivity you have noticed with hair products.

Wash your hair normally the day before. Heavy oil or styling wax is better left out, so the solution can work evenly.

How long it generally lasts

Perm results vary, so no salon can promise a fixed number of weeks. In general terms, a well-matched perm stays visible for several months and then relaxes as the hair grows and the wave loosens. Fine hair often relaxes sooner, and coarse hair often holds a shape longer.

Bleached or coloured hair can hold a different pattern from natural hair, because the structure has changed. That is why your stylist asks about your history first.

Aftercare in the first days

General guidance, which your stylist may adjust for your hair:

• Avoid tight ties and clips for the first days, so the new shape is not pressed flat.
• Use a conditioner suited to permed hair and comb gently from the ends upward.
• Dry with your fingers or a diffuser instead of brushing the hair dry.
• Leave heavy products out until you see how the wave behaves.
