Short answer — scrub in the morning, head spa in the afternoon, spa at night
· Morning — Yeoun, a private body scrub room (1 min from Eonju Station, women only, 08:00–22:00). For a first time, the 85-minute Houttuynia & Fermented Mugwort course, ₩133,000
· Afternoon — one of two head spas. For a thorough, step-by-step scalp routine, Juno Hair Bangbang Intersection, Course B, 70 min, ₩158,000; for a short break, Mosante Head Spa Gangnam from 30 min, ₩50,000
· Night (optional) — Premium Spa L Gangnam (5 min on foot from Exit 3 of Eonju Station, 10:00 to 04:00). Hot stone therapy from 60 min, ₩197,000
The order follows opening hours: the scrub room opens at 8 a.m., the head spas at 10, and Spa L stays open until 4 a.m. Yeoun and Spa L are on the same road, Nonhyeon-ro, so you go elsewhere in the afternoon and come back towards Eonju Station at night. The scrub is women only, so this plan is written for women.
All four can be booked by foreign card on LUWEI.
Sample timetable — scrub at 10, head spa at 14:00, spa at 20:00
· 09:50 Arrive at Yeoun (B2, Eonju S Tower, right by Eonju Station)
· 10:00–11:25 85-minute scrub — bath → collagen mask → full-body scrub → back steam → oil massage → shampoo and treatment
· 11:30–13:30 Lunch and getting across town
· 14:00 Head spa — Juno Hair Bangbang Intersection Course B (70 min) or Mosante Head Spa Gangnam (60 min)
· From 15:30 Shopping, cafés, dinner
· 20:00 Premium Spa L Gangnam (optional) — a 60-minute hot stone session finishes around 21:00
From Yeoun to Juno Hair Bangbang Intersection (302 Gangnam-daero) or Mosante Gangnam (about 5 min on foot from Exit 1 of Sinsa Station), a taxi is easiest — just show the driver the address. If a late evening sounds like too much, skip Spa L and end the day with the head spa.
Morning — Yeoun private body scrub (1 min from Eonju Station, women only)
B2, Eonju S Tower, 561 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu. 08:00–22:00, by reservation only, women only. Up to four guests can be booked in the same time slot.

How to book, and a few Korean phrases for the day
1. Open each venue on LUWEI — Yeoun Yeoun Private Body Scrub · Juno Hair Bangbang Intersection Juno Hair Bangbang Sageori · Mosante Gangnam Mosante Head Spa Gangnam · Spa L Gangnam Premium Spa L Gangnam Main Branch
2. Under "Book", choose a course, date and time, and pay the deposit by foreign card (the rest at the venue)
3. When the venue accepts, you get a confirmation email. If the venue doesn't reply in time, the booking is cancelled automatically and the deposit refunded in full
Each venue is booked separately, so leave at least 30 minutes of travel time after one session ends before the next booking starts.
Yeoun, Juno Hair Bangbang Intersection, Mosante Head Spa Gangnam and Premium Spa L Gangnam are LUWEI partners (LUWEI earns a commission on bookings made through its pages). Courses, prices and hours come from the venues; LUWEI has not tried them in person. A body scrub, head spa or massage is not a medical treatment, and how it feels varies from person to person. If you're pregnant or have a medical condition, mention it when you book.
