Using a hair salon in Korea

Booking, consultation, time and payment for travelers.

A salon visit can be a pleasant part of a trip. Preparing service, time, reference photos and possible extras makes consultation easier.

Decide service and time

Cuts, colour, perms and treatments vary in time and price. Choose a slot without a fixed onward plan.

Use photos for the style

Bring photos of wanted and unwanted results. Mention hair condition, recent treatments and sensitivities.

Confirm price and add-ons

Washing, drying, length, treatment and styling can be separate. Ask for estimated time and total price.

Follow payment and change rules

Card, cash, mobile payment and cancellation rules differ. Contact the salon early if plans change.

Leave itinerary room

Service can run longer than expected. A day with margin is better than immediately before a flight or event.
