Fade Stronghold in Hongdae: Cutters Men’s Hair Is Keeping Seoul Sharp

If you’ve ever wandered the alleyways behind Hongdae Playground and thought, "Where do guys go for a real cut?" — now you know. Cutters Men’s Hair Hongdae isn’t just a random barbershop in Seoul, it’s a local institution for clean fades, classic parts, and confident vibes.

✂️ The Spot

Tucked underground at B1, 14 Wausan-ro 21-gil, Mapo-gu, just a 5-minute walk from Hongdae Station Exit 9, Cutters is open 7 days a week from 11AM to 9PM (Sunday until 8PM). Whether you’re rushing in before a flight or pulling up for a weekend reset, they’ve got you.

🔥 The Work

Prices are reasonable, and the service is anything but.

• Haircut: ₩16,500
• Skin Fade: ₩27,500
• Full Shave / Styling: ₩11,000
• Perms & Color (+cut): ₩38,500
• Volume Magic Perm: ₩77,000

This is classic barbershop energy — where fades, perms, and proper styling come standard, and every cut feels customized.

🧼 The Vibe

The shop is hip but grounded. Think clean clippers, tattooed barbers, chilled energy — and a few bottles of “poison” artwork scattered around the station for flair. Whether it’s your first cut in Korea or your fiftieth, you’ll get a warm welcome and sharp results.

Clients often mention the barbers’ attention to detail, and the sense that your haircut is a collaboration, not a transaction.
