Harajuku Hair Anyang: Hair Coloring with Stylist Hyunji

I finally got around to the hair-color appointment I’d been putting off and visited Harajuku Hair’s Anyang branch! It had already been a year since my last coloring session. Between the faded color and grown-out roots, my hair had turned into a reddish, two-tone situation—not my favorite look! With autumn here and winter on the way, I wanted to tone everything down and get rid of the red tones. So I booked an appointment with stylist Hyunji at Harajuku Hair Anyang.

The salon is near NongHyup in Anyang Ilbeonga. From Anyang Station, it’s about a five-minute walk through the underground shopping arcade—pretty close! Opening hours 10:00–21:00 Saturday and Sunday: 10:00–20:00 Parking There’s no on-site parking, so you’ll need to use a nearby public parking lot. The closest parking lot is...

Right here!

I arrived at my appointment time, and they got started straight away without any delay or waiting. The salon was clean, with a comfortable waiting area. It looked like a nice place to sit if you had to wait or spend a while there for coloring or a perm. There were plenty of seats, though, and the other customers didn’t seem to be waiting much either.

My services for this visit: • Full hair coloring to go darker • Layered cut • Fringe trim

There’s no extra charge based on hair length, which I thought made this a great-value option for coloring or perms!

Here’s what my hair looked like before coloring. The ends had faded to a reddish brown, while the grown-out roots were much darker. The colors blended unevenly through the middle, making it look even messier. I was definitely ready for a darker, more even shade!

Hyunji brought over a color chart and explained the shades so they were easy to compare. I told her I wanted: • A noticeably darker result • The red tones toned down, but not an all-black color • As little damage to my hair as possible She chose and mixed a suitable shade based on those requests. I went with full hair coloring, plus a layered cut and fringe trim. The cutting came after the color.

I took one last before photo, then it was time to start coloring! Hyunji applied the color really thoroughly. My scalp didn’t sting and my eyes didn’t feel irritated, so I was comfortable while waiting for it to develop.

The haircut was done quickly after coloring, so I didn’t get any separate photos of that part. But look at the color! To my surprise, my hair even felt better than it had before coloring. It was exactly the gray-toned, nearly black shade I wanted. I expect it to fade into a deep brown over time, which I think I’ll like too. For now, I’m hoping to enjoy this dark, almost-black look for about two months through winter.

I was told that paying by bank transfer earns 10% in rewards—a nice benefit if you plan to visit regularly. One scheduling note: Hyunji, the stylist who did my hair, is off every Wednesday and Sunday.

The photos taken straight after coloring look a little lighter because the lighting was strong and my hair was still slightly damp. In person, it’s almost black, like this! That was exactly what I wanted: hair that looks black without actually choosing a fully black color.

This photo was taken about 10 days after coloring. The color still hadn’t noticeably faded and was looking lovely. I’m so happy with the result and would definitely recommend Hyunji for choosing a shade that suited me so well. If you’re looking for hair coloring in Anyang, Harajuku Hair’s Anyang branch is worth considering. Hyunji was friendly and fun to talk to. We chatted so much during the appointment that it felt like catching up with a friend! #AnyangHairSalon #AnyangIlbeongaHairSalon #AnyangStationHairSalon #AnyangHairColoring #AnyangPerm
