8 Best Hair Salons in Busan (2026 Guide)

Busan draws travelers for beaches and food, but the city's hair scene rivals Seoul's — minus the Gangnam prices. Whether you want a quick trim between sightseeing or a full Korean-style cut, color, perm, or scalp treatment, these eight salons sit right where you're already going: Seomyeon, Haeundae, and Nampodong.

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 is a practical choice if the city is already part of your itinerary. Many salons are located near major sightseeing and shopping areas, allowing you to schedule a haircut, color service, or scalp treatment without making a separate trip to Seoul. Service availability and language support vary, so compare each salon before booking.

What Are the Best Hair Salons in Busan?

1. LEEKYUNGMIN FORET GARDEN 

Best for: Korean celebrity-style cuts, color and hair & makeup in one visit near Haeundae beach.

• Address: 6F, 16, Jungdong 2-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan
• Hours: 10:00-20:00
• English support: Available (Basic Level) 

LEEKYUNGMIN FORET GARDEN already runs busy branches in Seoul's Gangnam and Hongdae, and the Busan location keeps the same scale: at about 1,650㎡, it's one of the largest single hair studios in Haeundae, built around private rooms rather than open-floor seating. 

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, plus a scalp spa add-on if you want to shake off travel fatigue before the camera comes out. 

When I sat down for my consultation last year, the stylist spent almost 5 minutes just looking through my reference photos before touching my hair — no rush at all. My color took about 2-3 hours, and I walked out feeling like I'd gotten a proper treatment, not just a quick dye job.

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:  Korean see-through color and professional bleaching in Seomyeon.

• Address: 2F, 103 Dongcheon-ro, Busanjin-gu, Busan
• Hours: 11:00-20:30 (Closed Mondays and Thursdays)
• English support: Available (Basic Level) 

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.

My friend went in nervous about bleaching her hair for the first time, and the director talked her through exactly how many rounds it would take before we started. The result was the clear, glassy color I'd only seen on Korean stylists' Instagram feeds, and her hair didn't feel fried afterward, which is what she was most worried about.

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.

• Address: 2F, 36 Seojeon-ro 9beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan
• Hours: 11:00–20:00
• English support: Available (Basic Level) 

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.

My stylist handled everything from the wash to the final blow-dry herself, so there was no awkward hand-off between three different people like I've experienced at other salons. She kept checking in with a mirror at every stage of the cut, turning my head side to side so I could see the shape building before she moved on.

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

4. WENEED (Seomyeon Lotte Branch)

Best for: First-time visitors who want a Korean-inspired look.

• Address: 3F, Bujeon-ro 71, Busanjin-gu, Busan
• Hours: 10:00–21:00
• English support: Available (Basic Level) 

5. De La Foret

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

• Address: 3F, 22 Jungang-daero, Jung-gu, Busan
• Hours: 10:30-19:00 (Closed Sundays)
• English support: Available (Basic Level) 

De La Foret Nampo brings the same Korean celebrity-salon lineage as its Cheongdam-dong sister brand (LEE KYUNGMIN FORET) to Nampodong, but with lower prices and a nature-inspired interior that feels less intimidating than Gangnam. If you want Korean trends without the Gangnam price tag, start here.

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 near Haeundae beach.

• Address: 207, Building D, 47 Marine City 2-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan
• Hours: 10:00–19:00
• English support: Available (Basic Level) 

BYUS Hair & Makeup, in Haeundae, sits at a higher price point than most other salons on this list, and the service matches it: stylists start with a real consultation on your face shape and bone structure before touching a single hair, rather than working from a quick chat. 

Where LEEKYUNGMIN FORET GARDEN packages hair and makeup into a single celebrity-style visit, BYUS leans into event- and shoot-ready looks, so book this one if you have a photoshoot, a wedding guest look, or just want a finished face and hair for a night out in Busan.

7. JUNO HAIR

Best for: A consistent, reliable chain experience in Busan.

JUNO HAIR runs like a well-oiled machine across Korea, and Busan's branches keep the same rhythm: standardized pricing, walk-in flexibility, and a consultation process that doesn't shift much from stylist to stylist. You won't get the most cutting-edge trend here, but you also won't walk out surprised by the bill or the result.

I picked the branch nearest my hotel mostly out of convenience, and the visit still felt consistent with what I'd read about other JUNO locations — same clear pricing sheet at the counter, same offer of tea while I waited. It's not flashy, but nothing about the visit felt like a gamble.

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

★★★★★ Koyuki | 🇯🇵Japan | 2026.02.20

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 with a Korean-style bob, 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.

8. HAESOL Scalp Hair Clinic 

Best for: Scalp diagnosis and treatment in Busan.

• Address: 4F, Aquamall, Lotte Department Store Gwangbok Branch, 2 Jungang-daero, Jung-gu, Busan
• Hours: 10:30-21:00
• English support: Available (Basic Level) 

Korean beauty treats the scalp the way it treats skin, as the foundation for healthy hair, and HAESOL Scalp Hair Clinic builds its whole service around that. Beyond a relaxing treatment, the clinic offers tailored care for concerns like hair loss and thinning.

The scalp check at the start used a small camera on a screen so I could actually see my own scalp magnified — I'd never had that shown to me at a salon before. The treatment itself was more clinical than relaxing, which fit what I was there for, but if you just want a nice head massage this might feel more medical than spa-like.

Inside Lotte Department Store near Busan Port and Nampodong, with private VIP rooms for anyone who wants scalp care to take priority over a cut or color this trip.
