I got my hair highlighted on my visit back home, and when the hairstylist reminded me that I'd have to get my roots touched up pretty regularly, I just said "yeah, yeah" and shrugged it off.Fast forward 8 months and my hair was a mess haha. Normally, back home this wouldn't be a problem, but while living in Korea it can be hard for foreign women to get a decent haircut let alone a BLONDE highlight root touch-up. There have been so many horror stories about dye-jobs and I myself have had a bad haircut here.
Once I got to the point where my hair was driving me crazy, I did a little research and stumbled across the place 'Soo Casa'. I could only find good reviews so I thought it was worth a shot.
It was a little tricky to find, because the sign for the shop is not on the main street, it's behind some flashy cell phone stores. I did find it before I wandered too far though, thankfully. She speaks perfect English and I read that she worked in Canada for 6 years on this show called "Style by Jury" on the Women's network. She was very kind, not very talkative, but I prefer it that way. She did comment on how long my roots were by saying "it's about time" hahaha. She even had English rag-mags for me to read. I can't remember the last time I read one of those. I haven't been missing much, but it was still nice to flip through a magazine. She did a great job and gave me a well needed trim as well. It hasn't been 8 months since a hair cut, but it has been a while.
Overall it was a really pleasant experience. It was just me and her in the shop and I was in and out in a couple hours. The price wasn't as outrageous as I was expecting, but a little more than I would pay back home.
If you're living in or around Busan, and are a blondie, she's definitely the one to go to.
