ο»Ώbefore you sit in the chair β¨
Save this and take it with you π
β 1. Consultation Comes First
Before anything starts, ask yourself:
πΏ Do they take time to look at my hair?
πΏ Do they ask about my routine and preferences?
A good Korean salon never rushes the consultation π
If they listen carefully — that’s a green light π

Korean salons care about where hair grows π±
Good signs include:
β¨ Questions about oil balance or sensitivity
β¨ Recommendations for scalp care if needed
Healthy scalp = better results β¨π
β 3. Prices Are Clear & Explained
You should feel comfortable asking:
π° How much will this cost?
β° How long will it take?
A good salon explains pricing calmly and clearly πΈ
No surprises at checkout π
β 4. Stylists Suggest, Not Just Agree
If a stylist:
πΏ Adjusts your reference photo
πΏ Explains what suits your hair type

Trust the atmosphere π
