My Korean Head Spa expertise (this publish)

Once we determined we’d be visiting Korea, I knew I needed to reap the benefits of some pores and skin or magnificence remedies.

I figured a head spa appointment can be good as a result of it might solely take an hour or so, there have been tons of places near our lodge, and so they all had superb critiques.

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 type of horrendous. Main as much as this appointment, I might 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 might probably maintain a curl or fashion for a very long time, so I didn’t actually see a necessity to clean it extra typically. I believed 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 screen in actual time.

She really helpful the complete remedy for me and stated it might take about two hours. I informed her I solely had an hour or so, and she or he stated they may end all the things 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 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 superb critiques I’d learn on-line.

The complete remedy:

She sat me down and one other stylist came visiting, and so they began brushing my hair. After it was absolutely brushed, they added an elixir to my complete 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 go to a separate room, which is the place the vast majority of the remedy occurred. 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 remedy, a cool waterfall rinse state of affairs, 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 remedy, they led me to a styling chair and rescanned my scalp. I couldn’t imagine 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 very best it’s ever felt in my complete life.
