No time to go to Seoul? Get the authentic Korean treatment at these salons for flawless hair a la K-pop stars.

Craving for beautiful and airy curls or beachy waves? How about those wispy bangs that fall so becomingly on your forehead?

You’ve clearly been caught up in the Korean wave. We’ve been disappointed by local salons when their attempts on emulated the coveted hallyu style fall flat. Literally.

Korean hairstyles pride themselves of their natural looking quality that look effortless. Think C-Curve rebonding techniques that lift hair up at the roots for a less “attap roof” style of rebonding, and wispy highlights to match.

Get the authentic Korean experience complete with the Daebak head massage for a thoroughly relaxing trip to the salon.

Here are 8 Korean salons to give your locks the best hallyu treatment.
