Treatment Overview | 15-Step Head Spa & Massage

Our model chose the salon’s signature scalp-care program, the “Korea’s Popular 15-Step Head Spa & Massage Program.”
This is a premium head spa course that progresses step by step, from scalp diagnosis to scaling, steam care, scalp massage, nourishing packs, and a final check.

1 / 0

There are 15 steps in total, and we will show you how they proceed in order. The sequence may vary depending on your condition!

Step 1 | Scalp Diagnosis and Consultation

Before starting the full care, we first had a scalp diagnosis and consultation using professional equipment.

Our model had a dry scalp type with some heat, so they explained that the care would focus on moisture and cooling products tailored to that condition.

They also answered questions about daily scalp care and styling one by one, so it felt like more than just a head spa, it felt like a personalized consultation based on individual scalp condition.

They placed drinks and light snacks right next to the seat, so we could enjoy them comfortably during the care. It was thoughtful down to the smallest details, and we were impressed even before the treatment really began.

Step 2 | Scalp Peeling

Step 2 was scalp peeling.

They carefully applied the product over the entire scalp to remove built-up dead skin and impurities, and sectioned the scalp in detail, which really felt like professional care.

Because it clears out impurities that are hard to manage with shampoo alone, it felt like a cleansing prep stage before the main head spa.

Step 3 | Steam Treatment (Round 1)

The first steam treatment followed. For about 10 minutes, warm air gently wrapped around the entire scalp. It did not feel too hot or overwhelming, just comfortably warm.

They said this step softens the scalp and opens the pores so the nourishing ingredients used later can absorb better. It felt like a relaxing pause, and the warmth naturally eased any tension before moving on.

Step 4 | Aroma Relaxation Massage

Step 4 was an aroma relaxation massage. Using premium essential oils, they gently loosened the neck and shoulders, it felt like releasing tension first before starting the scalp care in earnest.

Step 5 | Intensive Scalp Scaling

They sectioned the scalp carefully and applied the scaling product thoroughly, this step removes built-up dead skin and impurities and leaves the scalp feeling refreshed.

The cooling ampoule felt pleasantly cold, and after the warmth from earlier steps, it helped soothe the scalp even more. It left the scalp feeling lighter and cleaner overall.

Step 6 | Deep Scalp Massage

They gently pressed and massaged the entire scalp with their fingertips, which helps blood circulation and relieves tension.

It was not harsh or overly stimulating, it felt relaxing and easy to enjoy throughout.

Step 7 | Deep Steam Therapy (Round 2)

This step boosts the scaling effect and adds more moisture to the scalp. It felt softly warm rather than hot, and the scalp felt soothed and hydrated, which was very comfortable.

Step 8 | Nourishing Scalp Shampoo

From Step 8, we moved to the shampoo room for a nourishing scalp shampoo.

The shampoo room has massage chairs, so you can enjoy a full-body massage while getting the head spa, it really felt like taking a comfortable break for about 30 minutes.

Since our model had a dry scalp type, they used a customized shampoo that helps with moisture and cooling.

For reference, if you are getting color, they said you can tell your designer in advance and they will switch to a color-care shampoo, the process is handled thoughtfully based on your hair condition and needs.

Step 9 | Professional Scalp Massage

Along with the shampoo, they massaged to gently loosen the entire scalp, helping relax the scalp muscles and adding to the overall comfort.

They pressed carefully with their fingertips and helped circulation, so the scalp felt even fresher after being cleaned and prepped in earlier steps.

Step 10 | Luxury Head Spa & Treatment

This step combined water-based head spa therapy with deep conditioning, leaving both scalp and hair feeling moisturized and refreshed once again.

Because the water-stream care continued while lying on the massage chair with full-body massage, it did not feel like a simple shampoo process, it felt like a truly relaxing, healing session.

Step 11 | Scalp Nourishing Pack

A high-concentration mask was used to nourish the scalp. It adds the moisture the scalp needs after being cleansed through scaling and shampooing.

Step 12 | Soothing Pack Massage

They massaged gently to help the nourishing pack absorb better, and it was done in a comfortable, non-irritating way.

After the massage, they used professional equipment and a sheet to keep steam from escaping, and it felt like a careful process to help the nutrients absorb into the scalp as much as possible.

Step 13 | Finishing Head Spa Rinse

They finished the spa with a refreshing water-stream therapy. After that, we returned to the original seat for the final two steps.

Step 14 | Scalp Revitalizing Tonic

They thoroughly applied a tonic near the roots that provides a cooling sensation and strengthening effect, leaving the scalp feeling clean and refreshed even at the final stage.

Step 15 | Post-Diagnosis and Results Check

After the head spa, we repeated the scalp check from Step 1 so we could compare the before-and-after condition.

It was impressive to see how the scalp, which initially showed redness and buildup, looked more settled and clean afterward.

Rather than expecting a dramatic change from just one session, they recommended getting it consistently about once a month to maintain scalp condition.

After the diagnosis, they moved on to the finishing styling.

Our model requested wave styling using an iron, and they created natural curls tailored to the face shape, giving the overall look a softer, more polished finish.

They finished by spraying to set the style.

Most styling options are available, but updos or strong frizz-straightening styles may require an additional fee, please keep that in mind.

With hair feeling much softer after the head spa and the styling finished beautifully, our model was very satisfied.

You can also purchase the scalp and hair care products used during the head spa at the salon. If you liked the shampoo or products used in your service, you can buy them on the spot, which is great if you want to continue scalp care at home.
