8 Best Hair Salons in Busan (2026 Guide): Korean Cuts, Color & Scalp Care

Busan draws travelers for its beaches and food, but the city has quietly become one of Korea's best spots for hair too. Whether you're after a quick trim between sightseeing stops or a full Korean-style layered cut, color, perm, or scalp treatment, you have plenty of salons to choose from.

I picked eight salons clustered around Seomyeon, Haeundae, and Nampodong, the three areas most travelers already pass through, so getting a Korean-style cut or color takes no extra planning.

What You'll Find in This Guide

• 8 hair salons in Busan, grouped by neighborhood (Seomyeon, Haeundae, Nampodong)
• Sorted by service: cuts, color, perms, hair and makeup, scalp care
• Addresses, hours, and real visitor reviews for every salon
• A quick comparison table if you just want the short version

How Do You Choose a Hair Salon in Busan?

Start with location. Seomyeon pairs naturally with shopping and cafes, Haeundae sits close to the beach hotels, and Nampodong fits into a sightseeing day near the port. Pick the neighborhood you'll already be in, and the rest gets easier.

Then narrow down by service. A cut or color appointment runs shorter than a full hair and makeup session, and scalp treatments often need their own time slot. Match the salon to both your neighborhood and what you actually want done, and you won't have to build your day around a hair appointment.

Why Get Your Hair Done in Busan Instead of Seoul?

Busan salons see fewer tourists than Seoul's, so appointments feel calmer and stylists have more time for each client. You still get the same Korean-style layered cuts, color, and perms, and several salons cover scalp care and hair and makeup under one roof.

Most locations sit close to subway stations and shopping districts, so a salon visit slots into a day of sightseeing instead of taking over it.

What Are the Best Hair Salons in Busan?

1. LEEKYUNGMIN FORET GARDEN 

Best for: Korean celebrity-style hair and makeup in one visit.

LEEKYUNGMIN FORET GARDEN already runs busy branches in Seoul's Gangnam and Hongdae, and the Busan location draws the same crowd. The head director has styled hair and makeup for Korean celebrities, so a consultation here covers cuts, color, and full hair and makeup in one sitting.

Bring reference photos. The team works well from pictures, and this is the salon to book if you want one polished, camera-ready day during your trip.

I got color and a haircut here. My English and Korean aren't strong, but the stylist explained everything in English and used a translation app when I got stuck. She gave real advice once I showed her photos. The salon sits inside a building right by Haeundae Traditional Market, easy to spot once you know the block.

The staff at this hair salon are very kind and professional. The salon is conveniently located in Haeundae and is very reasonably priced for such a nice salon.

2. Salon de Won

Best for: Color and bleaching.

Salon de Won's head director has over 20 years behind the chair, and color and bleaching are what the salon is known for. Come here if you want a real change, especially that clear, see-through Korean-style color.

It sits a short walk from Seomyeon Station, so shopping or cafe hopping right after your appointment is an easy add-on.

3. Articre

Best for: Korean-style short cuts.

In Seomyeon, Articre is built around one stylist handling your visit start to finish. Naver reviews single out the short cuts here, and the salon has a following for airy, effortless Korean styles as well as sleek, mature bobs.

Good pick if silhouette matters most to you, and it's easy to reach on any Busan itinerary.

4. WENEED

Best for: First-time visitors who want English-speaking support.

5. De La Foret

Best for: Natural, low-key Korean styles near Nampodong.

De La Foret is the Nampodong offshoot of the well-known Cheongdam-dong salon LEEKYUNGMIN FORET, carrying over the same skill with lighter, more natural styles.

It's a short walk from Nampodong Station, so it fits easily around the port area or a sightseeing day, especially if you want Korean hair that doesn't read as too styled.

• Hours: 10:30-19:00 (Closed Sundays)

Went back after loving the cut I got here last year. The staff remembered my style exactly, adjusted my reservation time without any hassle, and the result held up well while I settled into life here.

★★★★★ YINGTZU CHU ｜🇹🇼Taiwan ｜ 2026.04.13

Kind stylist. I used a translation app to explain what I wanted and she made it work. The scalp treatment stood out too.

6. BYUS Hair & Makeup

Best for: Hair and makeup for events or photoshoots.

BYUS Hair & Makeup, in Haeundae, handles hair and makeup as one consultation. Stylists ask about your face shape and bone structure before suggesting a design, and appointments start with a proper consultation rather than a rush.

Book this one if you have an event, a photoshoot, or just want a finished look for a day in Busan.

• Address: 207, Building D, 47 Marine City 2-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan

7. JUNO HAIR

Best for: A consistent, reliable chain experience.

JUNO HAIR is one of Korea's largest salon chains, and the Busan branches deliver the same consistent result you'd get anywhere else in the country. Every location is company-run rather than franchised, so there's little variation between branches, which makes it a safe pick for a first Korean salon visit.

With locations in Seomyeon, Centum City, and Dongnae, you can pick a branch based on where you're staying rather than planning a detour.

First bob cut in about ten years, and they shaped it around my bone structure. I don't speak Korean, so I used a translation app, and the stylist was patient through the whole visit. Left looking like a Korean unni, and they even brought out a drink and cookies.

★★★★ User895127 ｜🌍 Other ｜ 2024.08.18

The stylist explained the cut and the process clearly, and the pricing was upfront before anything started. Friendly staff, snacks and drinks included, and the result looked professional.
