Looking for a hair salon in Gangnam?
Gangnam is where Korea’s hair trends are made — and also where a walk-in can turn into an hour of pointing at photos and hoping for the best. MARU Hair Studio takes that risk out. We’re an English-speaking salon in the middle of Gangnam-gu: describe the look in your own words, or show us the screenshot you’ve been saving, and our stylists translate it into a cut, colour or perm that genuinely suits your hair.
Every price is listed in Korean won before you sit down, and we’ll tell you honestly if a look won’t work with your hair type rather than sell it to you anyway. Whether you’re in Seoul for a week or you live here, you’ll leave with the version of the trend that actually fits you.
Services & Prices
The menu, in plain English.
Starting prices in Korean won (₩). Gangnam rates sit a little above the Seoul average — the final number depends on length and condition, and we confirm it before we start.

Why visitors choose us
The Gangnam look, explained in a language you actually speak.
Half the battle in a Seoul salon is the consultation. We take that part slowly, in English: what you want, what your hair will realistically do, and what it will cost — all agreed before a single pair of scissors comes out.
- English consultations, every day of the week
- Photo-first — bring the screenshot, we translate it
- Honest advice when a trend won’t suit your hair

"I brought a photo of an idol’s haircut and honestly expected a polite “no”. They studied it, adapted it to my hair, and nailed it."

I don’t speak Korean — is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of our guests are visitors and expats, so an English consultation is normal here rather than a special request.
