Finding the right Korean hair salon can feel overwhelming 🌸
So many options… so many styles… 😡‍♀️

This checklist will help you know exactly what to look for

before you sit in the chair ✨


Save this and take it with you πŸ’•


βœ… 1. Consultation Comes First


Before anything starts, ask yourself:
🌿 Do they take time to look at my hair?
🌿 Do they ask about my routine and preferences?


A good Korean salon never rushes the consultation πŸ’–
If they listen carefully — that’s a green light πŸ’š


βœ… 2. They Talk About Scalp Health

Korean salons care about where hair grows 🌱


Good signs include:
✨ Questions about oil balance or sensitivity
✨ Recommendations for scalp care if needed


Healthy scalp = better results βœ¨πŸ’•


βœ… 3. Prices Are Clear & Explained

You should feel comfortable asking:
πŸ’° How much will this cost?
⏰ How long will it take?


A good salon explains pricing calmly and clearly 🌸


No surprises at checkout πŸŽ€


βœ… 4. Stylists Suggest, Not Just Agree


If a stylist:
🌿 Adjusts your reference photo
🌿 Explains what suits your hair type
🌿 Advises against damaging choices


That’s expertise — not resistance πŸ’–βœ¨


βœ… 5. The Salon Feels Calm & Organized

Trust the atmosphere πŸ‘€


Look for:
🌸 Clean workstations
🌸 Smooth teamwork
🌸 Relaxed pace


A calm salon usually means careful work πŸ’†‍β™€οΈβœ¨


βœ… 6. Products Are Lightweight & Purposeful

Too much product is a red flag 🚫


Good salons use:
🌿 Just enough
🌿 Hair-appropriate formulas
🌿 Scalp-friendly care


Your hair should feel soft — not heavy πŸ’–


βœ… 7. Shampoo Time Is Gentle

This tells you a lot 😌


Check if:
✨ Water temperature is comfortable
✨ Movements are gentle
✨ Scalp feels cared for


Rushed shampoo = rushed service 🚫


βœ… 8. Hair Looks Good as It Grows Out

Ask yourself weeks later:
🌿 Is my hair still easy to manage?
🌿 Does the shape still work?

A great Korean cut is designed for the future 🌱✨


βœ… 9. Aftercare Advice Is Given

Good salons don’t keep secrets πŸ’–


They explain:
✨ How to dry your hair
✨ How to style simply
✨ What to avoid at home


Education shows real care 🌸


βœ… 10. You Leave Feeling Confident (Not Pressured)

The best sign of all ✨


You should leave feeling:
πŸ’— Heard
πŸ’— Comfortable
πŸ’— Happy with your choice


Not rushed. Not upsold. Just confident πŸ’–
