• During the consultation, they record your preferred service and desired look, recent treatments, hair concerns, and even how much conversation you would like. They then confirm the final services, including any additional charges based on hair length, before informing you of the final price. This helps reduce concerns about unexpected costs when visiting a salon abroad.

'#CCONTE Gangnam Branch' | Our Visit

The option chosen by our model was "K-style Cut + Coloring + Styling | 60–90 minutes."

Our model wanted to tone down and even out her existing hair, which was slightly too bright overall and had an uneven color. After the consultation, she decided to go with a milk brown color and a layered cut.

Salon Atmosphere

#CCONTE Gangnam Branch is located on the third floor of the building.

When you enter the salon, natural light comes in through the large windows, creating a bright and pleasant atmosphere overall.

You can also enjoy views of the Gangnam streets from your seat during your hair treatment, so the space never feels stuffy.

Our model visited at 10:00 a.m., and within about an hour, so many customers had arrived that most of the seats were occupied.

After arriving, you can wait for a moment in the waiting area right in front!

While you wait, a staff member will check your reservation. Afterward, we left our bags with the staff and put on a salon gown for the treatment.

1. 1:1 Hair Consultation

We started with a consultation with the stylist in charge.

If you have photos of a hairstyle or color you like, you can show them directly on your phone, making it easier for international customers who may find it difficult to describe their desired style in Korean to have a comfortable consultation.

What was especially impressive was that, rather than simply asking, "What color would you like?",

• the service and overall look we wanted
• our recent hair treatment history
• our current hair concerns
• how much conversation we preferred

were carefully checked and recorded one by one.

They also showed us the color chart and compared different options to find the look we wanted. With autumn approaching, the model decided on a slightly calmer milk brown rather than her existing bright color.

After the consultation, they confirmed the final price, including the selected service and any additional charges based on hair length, before beginning the treatment.

It was reassuring to know the cost in advance, rather than discovering unexpected additional charges after the service was complete.

2. Before

We also took photos of our model's hair before starting the coloring process.

Her hair was generally on the lighter side, with some uneven color in certain areas, so we decided to slightly deepen the overall tone and create a more even color throughout.

The calm, muted shade of milk brown seemed like it would suit the coming autumn season perfectly.

3. Applying Color After Protecting the Hair

Before starting the coloring process, the stylist carefully applied a hair protectant throughout her hair.

Next, the hair was divided into sections, and the color was applied with care.

For long hair, it is important to ensure the color reaches the inner layers evenly. I could see the stylist carefully working through small sections from the roots to the ends.

Best of all, there was a large window right in front of the styling seat, so I could enjoy the treatment while looking out at the view.

4. Enjoy a Complimentary Brunch During Your Treatment

Our favorite part of #CCONTE Gangnam branch was definitely the brunch service.

Hair treatment customers can enjoy complimentary brunch, yogurt, cookies, drinks, and more.

Our model ordered coffee and toast that day. It was perfect for a light meal.

After the color product had been fully applied, her hair was wrapped and left for about 30 minutes. She said the waiting time passed more quickly than expected while she enjoyed toast and coffee and looked out the window.

If you have booked an appointment at the hair salon early in the morning, it would be especially convenient for travelers to enjoy a light brunch without having to eat beforehand.

5. Shampoo & Treatment

After waiting for about 30 minutes, we moved to the shampoo area. After reclining comfortably, they covered our eyes and began the shampoo.

They shampooed thoroughly twice, followed by a treatment.

They also massaged the scalp, head, and neck at various points, so our model said this was one of the most relaxing parts of the entire service.

It was a chance to take a short break while receiving a relatively time-consuming service such as hair coloring.

6. Aroma Neck and Shoulder Massage

After finishing the shampoo treatment and returning to her seat, the pampering continued with one more treatment.

They used aroma oil to massage her neck and shoulders.

We had expected to receive only coloring and a haircut at the salon, so I was impressed that the care continued through multiple steps, from the shampoo to the massage, making it an even more relaxing experience.

7. Milk Brown Color

Once her hair was dry, the milk brown color came to life!

The overall color looked much more even and polished than before the treatment. The original brightness was toned down, resulting in a soft, sophisticated olive milk brown shade.

It wasn't too dark or overly green, and the tone was balanced out naturally, making it an easy color to maintain without feeling too bold for everyday life.

8. Layered Cut

After checking the color, we moved on to the haircut.

Our model requested a layered cut that would add natural movement to her hair without taking off much length.

In addition to carefully shaping the overall length and layers, the stylist also refined the line at the ends.

They also lightly trimmed the bangs and face-framing wisps that naturally fall along the sides of her face to suit her features.

Compared to the color treatment alone, her overall hairline looked much lighter and more polished after the cut.

9. K-Style Hair Styling

The final step was the K-style hair styling we had been looking forward to.

Using a curling iron, the stylist created natural volume and curls throughout her hair, then carefully styled everything from the sides to the bangs.

In particular, the layers and curls that naturally framed her face came to life, creating the soft K-hairstyle commonly seen in Korea.

Since the stylist also styled the bangs and the hair around her face, which can be tricky to curl on your own, this would be a great time to explore Gangnam or take photos right after your appointment.

Before & After

Here's the finished look!

Before the treatment, the overall color was quite bright with some uneven areas, but afterward, the milk brown color was evenly applied throughout, creating a much softer and more refined look.

The layered cut and natural curls also helped soften the lines around the face.

Our model was also very happy with the result, saying that the color turned out as naturally as expected and that the cut and styling suited her overall look perfectly.
