My Korean Head Spa expertise (this submit)

Once we determined we’d be visiting Korea, I knew I needed to benefit from some pores and skin or magnificence remedies.

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 received’t submit 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 could possibly maintain a curl or type for a very long time, so I didn’t actually see a necessity to scrub it extra typically. I believed it was higher for me?

She advisable the complete therapy for me and stated it could take about two hours. I instructed her I solely had an hour or so, and he or she stated they may end all the things in an hour and quarter-hour, which labored for me.

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 total scalp, scrubbed it in, and put a bubbler machine over my head for 5 minutes.

After that, it was time to move to a separate room, which is the place the vast majority of the therapy 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 occasions, 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 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 seemed 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 total life.
