② Choosing by Budget
Entry - ₩15,000 to ₩40,000
A cut at this tier is a straightforward wash-cut-style, usually with a junior stylist. pe-it publishes its tiers openly - junior, senior and director each cost more - which is worth knowing before you assume the listed price is fixed. Juno SEOUL's ₩15,000 cut-and-perm is an introductory price rather than the shop's standard rate; confirm before booking.
Mid-range - ₩55,000 to ₩90,000
This is where most visitors land for a single service with a senior stylist, or a first colour. BY SEOUL and HOSU DOSAN both sit here, and both offer more than one hair service if you want to combine a cut with styling or colour on the same visit.
Premium - ₩130,000 and above
Perms and colour work with a longer processing time, or a session with a named senior director - Kwon Hong Hair and JUNG SAEM MOOL INSPIRATION West both price around a specific stylist's name rather than a generic service. The same service costs a fraction of that at a neighbourhood salon, but without the English support or the studio's styling team.
③ Choosing by District
- Gangnam (Nonhyeon, Yeoksam, Sinsa, Garosu-gil) has the widest choice on this list - HOSU DOSAN, Gungseochae, Green By gangmi, Kwon Hong Hair and JUNG SAEM MOOL INSPIRATION West are all within a few subway stops of each other.
- Myeongdong - BY SEOUL is open long hours and is the pick if you're based there for shopping.
- Near Seongsu Station - pe-it, Mércdi and Parkjun BeautyLAB Seongsu Perfume between them cover cut, colour and perm, useful if you're spending the day in that neighbourhood.
- Itaewon / Hannam-dong - Juno SEOUL, for visitors staying on that side of the river.
