The cheapest head spa in this guide is ₩44,000, a salon scalp treatment at Seolleung Station. Garosu-gil has four programmes with published durations, at Selpa by Cheongdam, ranging from ₩180,000 to ₩350,000. Seongsu and Hannam have the named 15- and 18-step programmes, ranging from ₩180,000 to ₩250,000, and Seongsu also has the cheapest bundled head spa, ₩120,000 at Mércdi. Cheongdam has the designer bundles above ₩360,000.
Myeongdong has the most convenient options if you are staying there, at large salons with long opening hours, and one of them, a short ride away at City Hall, opens at 06:00 and runs until midnight. The named multi-step programmes are in Seongsu, and the only two listings that publish both a step count and a duration are in Hannam-dong. Cheongdam has the make-up bundles at the top of the price range. In Hongdae, the hair salons publish cut and colour prices but no head spa price on the platform yet, so a Hongdae base means a short trip out. Choose according to where you will be that afternoon.
Scope. Venues and prices are English-language head spa listings on K-Beauty Station, and all of them publish a price, checked on 21 September 2026. Ratings are venue-level. The full comparison by programme and price is in Korean head spa in Seoul.

② Which Head Spa for Which Kind of Visit
The answers that follow are the five situations visitors actually book from. Each names the listing that fits it, with the price on the page.
Staying in Myeongdong, on a shopping day
Book a Myeongdong salon: late hours, and you walk out with dry hair. JUNO HAIR Myeongdong (Scalp Conditioning, ₩220,000, to 21:00) is the only listing with a Myeong-dong address, and the salon's own site is published in ten languages, English and Japanese among them. BY SEOUL (Hair & Scalp Care, ₩190,000), a short ride away at City Hall, takes 06:00 bookings — no other venue in this guide opens that early.
Staying in Gangnam, with one free afternoon
Garosu-gil for Selpa by Cheongdam (CELLPA Signature Head Spa, 60 minutes, ₩180,000, open until 22:00 every day; its own site describes single private rooms), Dosan for a head spa at HOSU DOSAN (₩80,000), or cross to Hannam for a named programme at Juno SEOUL (Healing, 15 steps, 60 minutes, ₩200,000). Book ahead. If the afternoon is short, Gungseochae Seolleung Station at ₩44,000 or HOSU DOSAN at ₩80,000 — the only two head spa listings in this guide under ₩100,000.
Coming for the viral multi-step experience
Seongsu or Hannam for the named programmes: Parkjun BeautyLAB Seongsu Perfume (18-Step Premium, ₩250,000) or Juno SEOUL (Signature, 18 steps, 90 minutes, ₩220,000 — its own site describes nine private head spa treatment rooms). Allow two hours plus travel. Seongsu takes bookings until 22:00, so this one survives a late start. If the step count matters less than the strip itself, Mércdi on the Seongsu strip bundles a head spa with a protein hair treatment at ₩120,000.
Based in Hongdae, wanting a relaxed evening
Nothing in Hongdae publishes a head spa price on the platform. Ask a Hongdae salon in its messenger, or ride the subway to central Jung-gu — BY SEOUL at City Hall is open until midnight.
Evening flight, morning free
HOSU DOSAN opens at 07:30 (Tuesday to Sunday), the earliest after BY SEOUL; Parkjun BeautyLAB Seongsu Perfume, Selpa by Cheongdam and Mércdi open at 10:00, JUNG SAEM MOOL INSPIRATION West at 09:30. JUNG SAEM MOOL also closes at 18:30, which is the one to check twice.
③ Frequently Asked
Which area is cheapest?
Gangnam. Its two salon scalp treatments are the lowest head spa prices in this guide. Gungseochae Seolleung Station is ₩44,000, HOSU DOSAN ₩80,000, and they are the only two head spa prices under ₩100,000 anywhere in it (checked 21 September 2026). The next step up is ₩120,000 at Mércdi in Seongsu. Above that the programmes run ₩180,000 to ₩350,000 — the named 15- and 18-step programmes at ₩180,000 to ₩250,000, and Selpa by Cheongdam's 90-minute head-and-body therapies at ₩310,000 and ₩350,000 — and only the JUNG SAEM MOOL INSPIRATION West make-up bundles (₩363,000–₩366,000) sit higher.
Is there a head spa in Hongdae?
Not one with a published price on K-Beauty Station. The hair listings there — OVU Hair, THEDAYS GROVE, Dosim — publish cut, colour and perm prices rather than a head spa one, and the one spa listing in the area, SPA THE ONE, is body care at ₩100,000. A Hongdae head spa may still exist off the platform. Ask a salon in its messenger. Otherwise the nearest area with published prices is Myeongdong.
Can I do a head spa and a facial in the same area?
In Garosu-gil, yes, under one roof: Selpa by Cheongdam lists a 60-minute Free-Radical Oxygen Facial at ₩240,000 alongside its four head spas, and is open until 22:00 every day. In Myeongdong the two are a walk apart, but note that almost every "facial" with a published price there is a skin clinic rather than a spa — see where to go for a facial in Myeongdong. If a dermatology clinic is what you want in Gangnam, the thirteen with a published price are compared in Gangnam skin clinics compared.
Which of these head spas have a private room?
Two say so on their own sites. Juno SEOUL in Hannam-dong describes nine private head spa treatment rooms, and Selpa by Cheongdam in Garosu-gil describes single private rooms with one-to-one care. The other listings in this guide do not state it either way on K-Beauty Station or on their own pages, so ask in the store's messenger before you book if a private room matters to you.
How do I choose a programme once I have picked the area?
By what you want from it: Which head spa for which need. Booking practicalities: Head spa booking tips.
📅 Ready to Book?
Every venue above is on K-Beauty Station, and every price above is the one printed on its listing, in won. Open the row nearest your hotel, and arrange the date, the duration, and whether the room is private in the store's messenger before you pay.
