Seoul Head Spa Experience Guide

If you're getting a head spa in Seoul, it's best to think of it as a relaxing cleansing experience, rather than assuming it's the same as hair regrowth or treatment. Before booking, confirm whether the session length includes blow-drying, whether scalp analysis costs extra, and whether the treatment includes exfoliation or intensive cleansing. If your scalp is sensitive, you've recently dyed or permed your hair, or you have any scratched or broken areas, let the salon know in advance and skip any irritating steps if needed. The images from the analysis are only an on-site observation, not a medical diagnosis.

You can ask at the salon: 두피 진단도 포함인가요?(Is scalp analysis included?),​드라이 시간도 포함인가요?(Is blow-drying time included?),​민감한 두피라 자극이 적은 코스로 부탁드려요. (My scalp is sensitive, so please book me for a less irritating treatment.) When booking, also confirm whether you need to wash your hair beforehand, whether you can communicate in English, and the cancellation policy; the salon's current information takes precedence.

If you have persistent scalp pain, a noticeable rash, or suddenly worsening flaking, it's safer to see a dermatologist first rather than get a deep cleanse.
