Hair salon recommendations in Seoul
Looking for a cool, alternative salon in or near Hongdae to touch up my partially bleached hair and add some subtle two-tone highlights. Tourist-friendly location a plus.
Check out 'Myeongdong' for a ton of options. It's a bit outside Hongdae, but super accessible by subway and packed with salons catering to all styles, including plenty with English-speaking stylists.

The vibe is the quiet, the unexpected little shops, the way the sunlight hits the buildings...it's not something you find on a to-do list. It's something you feel.
