My Korean Head Spa expertise (this publish)

After we determined we’d be visiting Korea, I knew I wished to reap the benefits of some pores and skin or magnificence therapies. Whereas it could’ve been straightforward to go WILD, I didn’t wish to miss out on adventures with the fam. I figured a head spa appointment could be good 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.

Once 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 publish the earlier than image right here, however let’s simply say my scalp was form of horrendous. Main as much as this appointment, I’d 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 might probably maintain a curl or model for a very long time, so I didn’t actually see a necessity to scrub it extra usually. I believed 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 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 might end the whole lot in an hour and quarter-hour, which labored for me. (The Pilot and the kiddos have been off to a petting zoo, so I figured they’d be entertained for a bit.)

She additionally defined that my hair would value 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 opinions I’d learn on-line.

The total therapy:

She sat me down and one other stylist came visiting, and so they began brushing my hair. After it was totally brushed, they added an elixir to my total 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 the vast majority of the therapy passed off. 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 possibly 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 normally 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 one of the best it’s ever felt in my total life.

She additionally shared the merchandise she beneficial for sustaining my outcomes at residence, and I ended up shopping for the shampoo, masks, hair milk, and elixir.

Right here have been the beneficial at-home steps:

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 advocate searching for out a head spa therapy. I’ve additionally heard wonderful issues about skincare, lasers, physique changes, and conventional medication therapies in Seoul.

Have you ever ever accomplished something like this earlier than? For those who’ve accomplished it within the States, how a lot did it value??

A good friend beneficial a scalp facialist right here in Tucson, so if I find yourself doing it once more domestically, it’ll be attention-grabbing to match.
