$110 for 90 minutes of scalp-focused bliss that includes everything. That’s less than a single Olaplex salon treatment and addresses your scalp health, not just your hair shaft.
The Korean philosophy
Korean beauty treats the scalp as the foundation of hair health. The premium head spa addresses everything your scalp needs in a single luxurious session: deep cleansing, exfoliation, nourishment, relaxation, and styling. It’s the Korean glass skin facial equivalent for your scalp — a complete ritual that leaves everything healthier.
The ritual
Scalp analysis
5 minA 200x microscope camera examines your scalp condition: oil levels, dead skin buildup, follicle density, and any concerns. The results are shown on a screen and guide the customization of your treatment.
Carbonated water rinse
8 minYour scalp is rinsed with carbonated (sparkling) water. The CO2 bubbles are small enough to penetrate pores and dissolve sebum that regular water can’t reach. It feels fizzy and refreshing — oddly satisfying.
Scalp scrub
10 minA gentle scalp scrub with fine sea salt or sugar crystals exfoliates dead skin cells. The practitioner works section by section, ensuring every area of the scalp is treated. This feels amazing and removes buildup you didn’t know was there.
Custom scalp mask
12 minA treatment mask is selected based on your scalp analysis: purifying clay for oily scalps, hydrating ceramide for dry scalps, or stimulating growth factors for thinning. Applied to the scalp (not the hair) and left to work.
Essential oil massage
18 minThis is the star of the show. A deep scalp massage using essential oils (peppermint, rosemary, tea tree, or lavender based on your needs) that lasts 15-20 minutes. The pressure ranges from firm to gentle, targeting tension points and stimulating circulation. Many clients fall asleep.
Steam treatment
8 minWarm steam is applied to the scalp, opening follicles and helping the mask and oil treatments absorb deeply. The warmth is relaxing and therapeutic.
Shampoo and conditioner
10 minA gentle, scalp-appropriate shampoo cleanses away the treatment products. A lightweight conditioner is applied to the hair lengths (avoiding the scalp) for softness.
Blow dry and finish
15 minA professional blow dry styles your hair. You leave looking salon-fresh with a scalp that feels lighter, cleaner, and more balanced than it has in months.
Your first time
This is ASMR in real life. From the moment the carbonated water hits your scalp (fizzy and refreshing), you’ll understand the hype. The scalp scrub is satisfying in the way a deep pore cleanse is for your face. The scalp mask feels cooling or warming depending on the formula. But the essential oil massage is the highlight — 20 minutes of expert pressure on your scalp that releases tension you didn’t know you were holding. The steam treatment is warm and enveloping. By the time you get to the shampoo, you’re so relaxed you might not want to leave. You walk out with a clean, balanced scalp and beautifully styled hair. Most people book their next appointment before leaving.
When to book
Perfect any time — you leave with styled, clean hair so there’s no downtime. Every 2-4 weeks for optimal scalp health. Treat it like a facial for your scalp. Great before a big event since you get a professional blowout included. Also excellent as a stress-relief ritual — the massage alone is worth the price.
Best for
Not recommended for
East vs West
Western hair salons focus on the hair shaft (cut, color, style). Korean head spas focus on the scalp (cleanse, treat, nourish). The premium head spa includes 8 distinct steps that address every aspect of scalp health — something no Western salon service comes close to matching in comprehensiveness. The Korean approach also includes scalp analysis technology that Western salons rarely offer.
Aftercare
Avoid heavy styling products for 24-48 hours to let your scalp breathe after the deep cleanse. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo between sessions. A scalp serum at home extends the benefits. If you noticed specific scalp concerns during the analysis, follow the practitioner’s targeted recommendations.
