Head Spa in Hapjeong, Picked for Scalp Care — Two Places, One for Unwinding and One for Your Scalp (Easy Before a Gimpo Flight)

Head spas in Seoul roughly split two ways.

Unwind-type — the focus is on working the scalp, neck and shoulders by hand and rinsing with warm water while you rest. Mosante describes itself as a hinoki-themed head spa that does "only the scalp"; reviews often mention a scalp massage that's thorough to the very end, hands that reach the trapezius, and no pressure to buy extras.

Scalp-care type — they look at your scalp and go through steps in order: scaling (clearing build-up), a pack, steamer, ampoules. Damhyewon's Scalp Lounge belongs to a scalp and hair-loss care brand; all three of its courses for overseas guests include a head spa, so you get care and rest in one sitting.

The rule of thumb is simple: if today is about emptying your head, Mosante; if your scalp has been bothering you lately, Damhyewon. There's no need to do both on the same day.

· Hinoki Forest Healing Spa 110,000 KRW
· Hinoki Forest Healing Spa for two 220,000 (two people together)

Damhyewon Scalp Lounge Hapjeong — three courses for overseas guests, all with a head spa
· Complex care, 60 min, 180,000 — brushing, relaxing therapy, scaling, scalp pack, steamer, shampoo, head spa, toner, moisturising ampoule, closing stretch
· Hair-loss focus care, 70 min, 200,000 — the above plus plasma, EMS and a hair-loss ampoule
· Regeneration & circulation care, 90 min, 230,000 — the longest course, built around scalp circulation

Course names are the shops' own and are not a promise that any condition will improve. If you have a scalp condition, see a dermatologist first. All prices are per person (except the course for two), at shop prices.

Mosante Head Spa Hapjeong — 4F, 8 Yanghwa-ro 11-gil, Mapo-gu. About 2 minutes' walk from Hapjeong Station Exit 2; there's a café on the ground floor and you take the lift up. Daily 10:00–22:00.

Damhyewon Scalp Lounge Hapjeong — Unit B207, B2, Delight Square 1, 14 World Cup-ro 1-gil, Mapo-gu (the Kyobo Bookstore Hapjeong floor). Right in front of Hapjeong Station. Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat 10:00–21:00; Wed 10:00–18:00; closed Sundays.

On the day you fly out of Gimpo — take Line 2 one stop from Hapjeong to Hongik Univ. Station, then the Airport Railroad to Gimpo Airport, roughly 15 minutes. Work back from your flight time — "60–90 minutes of treatment + 30 minutes to get there + check-in time" — and it fits on a last morning or afternoon. If you have a big suitcase, put it in the booking request so the shop knows ahead of time.

1. Open the shop's page on LUWEI
2. Under "Book", choose a course, date and time
3. Pay by foreign card (VISA, Mastercard, JCB, UnionPay, AMEX)
4. When the shop accepts, you get a confirmation email. If the shop doesn't reply in time, the booking is cancelled automatically with a full refund
