My Korean Head Spa expertise (this put up)

Once we determined we’d be visiting Korea, I knew I needed to make the most of some pores and skin or magnificence therapies. Whereas it might’ve been simple to go WILD, I didn’t need to miss out on adventures with the fam. I figured a head spa appointment could be excellent as a result of it might solely take an hour or so, there have been tons of places near our resort, they usually all had wonderful evaluations.

I booked a last-minute appointment at Hair the Beau and had no clue what to anticipate.

After I walked in, the principle stylist, Raon, launched herself and helped me get arrange with a locker. Then I used to be led to a sitting space to have my scalp scanned.

I gained’t put up the earlier than image right here, however let’s simply say my scalp was sort of horrendous. Main as much as this appointment, I might solely wash my hair as soon as per week. My hair can get actually dry, and I felt like washing it much less helped stop dryness. My hair didn’t get greasy, and it will possibly maintain a curl or model for a very long time, so I didn’t actually see a necessity to clean it extra usually. I assumed it was higher for me?

Seems, the bottom of my hair follicles had tons of buildup from grime and useless pores and skin. I actually felt ILL when she scanned my scalp and the picture was projected onto a tiny display screen in actual time.

She beneficial the complete therapy for me and stated it might take about two hours. I instructed her I solely had an hour or so, and she or he stated they might end the whole lot in an hour and quarter-hour, which labored for me. (The Pilot and the kiddos had been off to a petting zoo, so I figured they’d be entertained for a bit.)

She additionally defined that my hair would price additional as a result of it was so lengthy. I had no clue what I used to be getting myself into, however I made a decision to belief the method and the wonderful evaluations I’d learn on-line.

The complete therapy:

She sat me down and one other stylist came to visit, they usually began brushing my hair. After it was absolutely brushed, they added an elixir to my whole scalp, scrubbed it in, and put a bubbler machine over my head for 5 minutes. I’m not precisely positive what the bubbler machine did, however I can guarantee you that Korea resides sooner or later.

After that, it was time to go to a separate room, which is the place nearly all of the therapy befell. The shampoo bowl had a chair that was additionally a full-body massager, and it felt heavenly.

She began engaged on my hair and truthfully, I just about transcended throughout this portion of the expertise. She washed my hair perhaps six instances, added a masks, extra elixirs, a peptide therapy, a cool waterfall rinse scenario, after which massaged my head and shoulders for what felt like 20 minutes. It was pure bliss. The scalp therapeutic massage is often my favourite a part of a therapeutic massage anyway, so this was next-level.

After the therapy, they led me to a styling chair and rescanned my scalp. I couldn’t consider the distinction. It appeared so clear and wholesome.

Then they did a tandem blow dry and straighten on my hair,

and my hair felt the perfect it’s ever felt in my whole life.

I additionally linked everything I could find online in this collection!

The grand complete was about $375 for the therapy and merchandise. Within the States, the therapy alone in all probability would’ve been nearer to $500. If you end up in Seoul, I extremely, extremely suggest looking for out a head spa therapy. I’ve additionally heard wonderful issues about skincare, lasers, physique changes, and conventional medication therapies in Seoul.
