Hair Coating @ Park Chul Hair Saloon
Today i got my hair done at a Korean saloon for the very first time…
Ever wondered why the Korean celebrities you see on television have such shinny lustrous hair? Well, i found out that they go to the hair saloon to do a treatment called “hair coating”. The hair is coated with a dark brown gooey substance to repair it. The result would be a healthier and shinier head of hair!
While surfing the Internet for a place to go for hair coating, i found this article : Celebrity Hair Styles
Today, i went to Park Chul’s hair saloon in Desa Sri Hartamas. The saloon is located on the first floor, at the same row as RHB and CIMB bank. The Korean couple who owns the shop are friendly and they both speak English! James and Michelle Chung were very easy to talk to and happily obliged when i asked for a photograph.
At Park Chul hair saloon, you can read magazines, listen to Korean music or watch a Korean drama while they work on your hair! You will be served Korean tea too. You’ll get the full Korean hair saloon experience!
The sign board outside reads “Korean Professional Hairsaloon”
Read magazines and drink Korean tea while you get your hair done!
The saloon has a nicely decorated, spacious interior
Hair coating starts from RM200 if you have short hair. But since i have long hair, my hair coating treatment cost RM350. To fully regain the hair’s health, James advised that i undergo the treatment three times, once per month. James also advised that i use hair treatment instead of conditioner after shampooing my hair.
James is also very skillful at cutting and styling and if you like the hairstyles of the Korean celebrities you see on tv and in dramas, try going to a Korean hair saloon!
Needless to say, i am very happy with the results. Park Chul Hair Saloon also offers volume perm (to create more volume), rebonding and organic perm.

I read some bad review in some of the forums about Park Chul Hair Saloon ….. anyway, i guess is very subjective….
I went to a korean salon in Desa Sri Hartamas, is called Min International Hair Studio….there are 2 korean stylists there, Mr.Min & Mr.M, plus a few local stylists ….this salon is a joint venture of Shunji Matsuo and Min, they have another branch in Bangsar Telawi 2 ..
I have frizzy hair and if I dont do rebonding, it will look like mushroom….Min
did volume rebonding for me…I LOVE IT !!!!…my hair look naturally straight…easy to maintain…not flat at all….he cut the latest hair style for me , THE LONG BOB…everyone in my office asked me whether i did my hair…they all love it too….
I will definitely go back to Min Internatioal Hair Studio!

Heya KimK,
I guess I have to agree with the rather bad reviews. I went for a haircut once at Park Chul’s and he layered it. It turned out rather bad – looked like I had “porcupine” hair.
My hair is also pretty tough to handle. Cut it the wrong way and it sticks out all the time. My choice of hair salon is also in Desa Sri Hartamas but it isn’t Korean. It’s Curlers and Trimmers. Love what they do for me there :).
I’m having my hair done for this coming Hari Raya but I haven’t decide where to go yet. Which one u prefer is better with their service and the price list?
that's so cool!! now i know their secret of always having this beautiful shiny silky hair…
i'm in need of a new haircut as well! i thinkmaybe i shud go and try it out ;))
thanx for the info orchid!
aw… though i can't see your face, you look great!! great body and nice hair!! 😀
@Lynn Yes that's a pic after my treatment!
@Stephanie I am not sure how much they charge for a haircut. You could call James Chung to ask.
Oooh, I think I know where I'm going for my next haircut!

Ah!! U went to the saloon… I'm tempted to go… haha… my hair is out of shape adey… planning to re-perm and do some treatment but I doubt my mom would allow me to do so many things… I love the korean hairstyles!! I heart Saebyok's n Taeyon's hair!

Oh really? Hair cuts that suit the face. Alrighty then, my next hair cut will be at Park Chul Hair Saloon then :-).
How much does a wash and cut cost over there?
Ooh! This is one of the best Korean hair salons in Malaysia (IMO). They've always given me haircuts that suit my face -and- my taste. <3
Awesome! I wanna go and coat my hair too. So mine'll be RM200 and above? Kewl bananas!
