What Services to Expect (and Ballpark Prices)

  • Cut & Style: quick restyle or K-cut shaping. (Typical chain pricing starts around â‚©25,000–â‚©50,000 depending on stylist tier.)
  • Color & Bleach/Highlights: from soft brown to high-lift blonding; confirm toner and bond treatment if bleaching.
  • Perms: setting/S-curl/C-curl, digital or root volume perms—very popular in Korea.
  • Scalp Spa/Treatments: deep clean + massage; Park Jun and Leekaja both push dedicated scalp programs.

Prices vary by hair length/designer and change over time. Always ask for a quote before starting.

How to Book (fast & foreigner-friendly)

  • Message in English via the salon’s booking page/DM; include: date/time range, service (cut/color/perm), hair length, and reference photos.
  • Ask for a consultant who speaks English (most Myeongdong branches can accommodate).
  • Bring hair history (bleach, box dye, keratin, etc.)—it affects timing and price.

Communication Cheat Sheet (copy/paste)

  • “I want a soft layered cut that keeps length.”
  • “One-tone gloss brown, no red undertone.”
  • “Root volume perm only; no ends curl.”
  • “I have previous bleach—please do strand test first.”
  • “Budget is around â‚©___; is that OK?”
