My Korean Head Spa expertise (this submit)
After we determined we’d be visiting Korea, I knew I needed to make the most of some pores and skin or magnificence remedies. Whereas it could’ve been simple to go WILD, I didn’t wish to miss out on adventures with the fam. I figured a head spa appointment can be excellent as a result of it could solely take an hour or so, there have been tons of areas near our lodge, and so they all had wonderful opinions.
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 submit the earlier than image right here, however let’s simply say my scalp was type of horrendous. Main as much as this appointment, I’d solely wash my hair as soon as every 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 lifeless pores and skin. I actually felt ILL when she scanned my scalp and the picture was projected onto a tiny display in actual time.
She really useful the total therapy for me and mentioned it could take about two hours. I instructed her I solely had an hour or so, and he or she mentioned they may 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 further 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 opinions I’d learn on-line.

The complete therapy:
She sat me down and one other stylist came to visit, and so they began brushing my hair. After it was totally 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 certain what the bubbler machine did, however I can guarantee you that Korea resides sooner or later.
After that, it was time to move to a separate room, which is the place nearly all of the therapy happened. The shampoo bowl had a chair that was additionally a full-body massager, and it felt heavenly.
She began engaged on my hair and actually, 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 regarded so clear and wholesome.
Then they did a tandem blow dry and straighten on my hair,
and my hair felt the very best it’s ever felt in my whole life.

Right here had been the really useful at-home steps:
I additionally linked the whole lot I might discover on-line on this assortment!
The grand complete was about $375 for the therapy and merchandise. Within the States, the therapy alone most likely would’ve been nearer to $500. If you end up in Seoul, I extremely, extremely advocate searching for out a head spa therapy. I’ve additionally heard wonderful issues about skincare, lasers, physique changes, and conventional medication remedies in Seoul.
Have you ever ever executed something like this earlier than? If you happen to’ve executed it within the States, how a lot did it price??
