Myeongdong hair salon basic head spa for a dust-dried scalp: Yerideu

Where is Yerideu Hair in Myeongdong?

Yerideu Hair (예리드) is a Myeongdong hair salon very close to Exit 9 of Myeongdong Station. I visited it to take care of my hair.

Just head up the stairs and you reach the salon.

Ta-da! I booked ahead on Naver. The whole salon has a cozy yet bright tone, so I felt relaxed the entire time. Probably because it's in Myeongdong, there were quite a lot of foreign customers too. So cool!

Why I chose the basic head spa for a dry scalp

Maybe because of the fine dust, my scalp felt dry and dull, so I booked Yerideu's scalp care, the "Basic Head Spa". Even among Myeongdong salons, Yerideu is known for refined, careful care, and this time I booked with my designer and went in!

Short version: it was pure healing, and my scalp felt packed with moisture?! Here's my review of the basic head spa and scalp treatment.

Before the care, my hair was very dull and tangled. Before starting, the designer looked at my scalp and gave me a quick consultation. She was so bright and kind from the first impression that it put me in a good mood.

How does the basic head spa at Yerideu Hair work?

After the consultation, the basic head spa began right away with scalp care. This is the step that fills the hair and scalp with moisture.

She explained every step, which made it easier to follow. She applied the product carefully to every corner of my scalp, and from the moment it touched, I felt a really cool, refreshing cooling sensation.

Steam, lots of steam, topping up my hair's moisture in real time.

Snacks, drinks and chargers during the care

During the scalp care, Yerideu also treated me to tasty snacks and a cold drink.

Chocolate... cookies... ♡ So thoughtful. Cuckoodas (cream-filled biscuits) and Ghana chocolate are both things I love. Oh, and there's a charger at the seat so you can charge your phone while you sit. My battery was low, so it was super useful.

The highlight: a water head spa lying in a massage chair

The real highlight of the basic head spa was the scalp care you get lying back in a massage chair. Doesn't it sound blissful just hearing it... I didn't want time to pass.

Water keeps flowing like a waterfall to hydrate you. Add infrared therapy and it's two birds with one stone!

Keratin treatment for damaged hair

After that, she treated my damaged hair with a keratin treatment. The earlier steps removed the bad stuff, and this step fills the empty spaces with nutrition, I was told.

It was a private single-person space, which made it even more comfortable. A professional's touch is something else.

Finishing with tonic and a blow-dry

The basic head spa is thorough all the way to the final finish.

The last step is a tonic to leave the scalp moist.

After the treatment, she gave me a lovely blow-dry too.

How did my scalp and hair feel after the basic head spa?

After the scalp care and keratin clinic at Yerideu, I could definitely feel the moisture. My hair became softer too.

The blow-dry was just how I like it, so I was very happy. On the way home I touched my scalp and wow, it was a whole new world. The stuffy feeling and itch that always lingered somehow even after washing were gone, and my scalp felt really clear.

It's not only the scalp that got clean. My hair is silky and soft too, and I love it. Maybe thanks to the scalp treatment, the roots have firm volume, so even a quick blow-dry looks good. With the scalp's oil-moisture balance sorted out, the hair itself feels moisturized.

If you're looking for a proper scalp clinic near Myeongdong, don't hesitate: I highly recommend Yerideu Hair. There's also a first-visit event on Naver Booking, and it's a pretty big one, so it's worth a visit.
