My Korean Head Spa expertise (this put up)
After we determined we’d be visiting Korea, I knew I wished to make the most of some pores and skin or magnificence therapies. Whereas it will’ve been simple to go WILD, I didn’t need to miss out on adventures with the fam. I figured a head spa appointment can be excellent as a result of it will solely take an hour or so, there have been tons of areas near our resort, 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 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 put up 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 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 model for a very long time, so I didn’t actually see a necessity to clean 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 advisable the total therapy for me and stated it will take about two hours. I informed her I solely had an hour or so, and he or she stated they might end every thing in an hour and quarter-hour, which labored for me.

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 complete 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 move to a separate room, which is the place nearly all of the therapy came about. The shampoo bowl had a chair that was additionally a full-body massager, and it felt heavenly.
She began engaged on my hair and truthfully, I just about transcended throughout this portion of the expertise. She washed my hair possibly six occasions, 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 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 complete life.
