Root Perm in Myeongdong, Seoul
Lift only where you need it. A Korean root volume perm gives flat crowns and fine hair natural height that lasts all day — the quickest perm on our menu.
A root perm (root volume perm) treats only the first few centimetres of hair to lift it away from the scalp, while the lengths stay as they are. At JUNO HAIR Myeongdong Branch 4 it costs from ₩120,000 and takes about 1–1.5 hours, making it the fastest way to fix flat hair during a short trip to Seoul.
Height at the crown, nothing else changed
Fine, straight hair often collapses against the scalp a few hours after styling. A root perm gives the base of the hair a gentle lift so it stands away from the head on its own — the lengths, color and cut stay untouched, so it looks like great hair rather than a perm.
It is popular for fine and thinning hair (see our page for fine and thin hair) and as a regrowth refresh between full perms. Want movement in the lengths too? Combine it with a digital perm.
- Treats only the root area
- Natural lift for flat crowns and partings
- Lengths, color and cut stay as they are
