Another thing we wanted to do on our Korea girls trip was get the famous 15-step scalp treatment we had seen all over Instagram. After asking friends for advice, we settled on Park Jun Beauty Lab and made an appointment through their IG account.
When we arrived, we were greeted and shown to a locker area and then were almost immediately seated to have our scalp analyzed. It does feel a little bit like a factory operation, but I think that is why the experience is so efficient. Be prepared to stand your ground if they try to upsell you, but I didn't mind getting the additional detox treatment that they offered.
The 15 steps are: step 1 microscope consultation and diagnosis, step 2 head massage, step 3 cleaning and exfoliating, step 4 simple stretching massage with aroma oil, step 5 neck massage and hot towel, step 6 a sitting shampoo, step 7 light therapy or cleansing, step 8 relaxing shampoo, step 9 “YUME BAS” Spa Room, step 10 scalp treatment, step 11 MMS (Mirco Massage System) or JENIMORY TONIC – T, step 12 rinse hair after light acupressure, step 13 re-diagnosis of scalp with a microscope, step 14 tonic, and step 15 cold wind dry. The entire process took about 90 minutes. One of my friends also opted to get a digital perm and her results were great!
The cost of the 15-step scalp treatment was about $150, but you may find a better price if you shop around. We chose Park Jun because they speak English and have a ton of convenient locations. Juno Hair is another company we saw often while exploring Seoul. This was definitely a highlight on this girls' trip!
