💇 Hair salons in Seongsu

9 top-rated salons in Seongsu

Seongsu salons are newer and design-led, matching the pop-up and cafe scene the district is known for. There are fewer of them than in Hongdae or Gangnam, and most run on advance booking rather than walk-ins.

Will they speak English?

We do not hold language data for individual salons, and we are not going to guess — being wrong sends you into a three-hour appointment you cannot talk through. What works reliably: bring photos of the cut or colour you want, say how much length you are willing to lose, and mention any previous bleach or perm before they start. A translation app covers the rest. Booking ahead also helps, because a salon that knows a foreign customer is coming can put the right stylist on.

What it costs

Across Seoul, a women’s cut typically runs about ₩20,000–50,000, a men’s cut ₩15,000–30,000, a perm ₩100,000–250,000 and colour ₩80,000–200,000. Long-hair surcharges are common and often not on the menu board, so ask for the price at your length before they start.

Worth knowing

Seongsu is spread out and built on old factory blocks, so the walk from the station is longer than the map suggests. Allow extra time.
