My Korean Head Spa expertise (this submit)

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 might’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 might solely take an hour or so, there have been tons of places near our lodge, and so they all had superb opinions.

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

After I walked in, the primary 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 sort 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 forestall dryness. My hair didn’t get greasy, and it might 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 stated it might take about two hours. I informed her I solely had an hour or so, and he or she stated they may 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 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 superb 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 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 nearly all 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 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 therapy, they led me to a styling chair and rescanned my scalp. I couldn’t consider the distinction. It seemed 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.
