My Korean Head Spa expertise (this put up)
Once we determined we’d be visiting Korea, I knew I wished 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 could solely take an hour or so, there have been tons of areas near our resort, they usually all had superb critiques.
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 put up the earlier than image right here, however let’s simply say my scalp was type 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 forestall dryness. My hair didn’t get greasy, and it could actually 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 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 beneficial the total remedy for me and mentioned it could take about two hours. I instructed her I solely had an hour or so, and she or he mentioned they might end the whole lot in an hour and quarter-hour, which labored for me.

The total remedy:
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 whole 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 move to a separate room, which is the place nearly all of the remedy happened. 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 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 often 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 consider the distinction. It regarded so clear and wholesome.
Then they did a tandem blow dry and straighten on my hair,
and my hair felt the most effective it’s ever felt in my whole life.
