Not my boyfriend — my guy friend — I brought him to this Seongdong-gu hair salon, Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch.

I came to this salon to protect a close friend's hair — Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch, known for men's cuts. That day we booked hair-loss prevention hair care (₩120,000) with designer Loco.

Inside the salon: atmosphere and waiting time

The inside of Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch isn't huge, but the full-length windows kept it from feeling cramped at all.

Toro With Geek has built a word-of-mouth reputation in Geumho-dong as a men's hair specialist, and people come from pretty far away for it.

While my friend was parking, I wet my throat first with a mango juice...

My friend rushed in haha. Lately he's been busy and stressed, and with the midsummer heat, his scalp had gotten pretty hot and inflamed... T.T

The men's cut included in the hair-loss prevention hair care

Before

Designer Loco at Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch carefully checked my friend's scalp and hair condition and explained everything in detail. I hadn't realized the hair-loss prevention hair care included a cut — before the hair care began, he trimmed my friend's hair beautifully.

My friend has a nicely round head shape. The designer asked what style he wanted, but this guy has zero interest in styling himself, so we just asked for whatever style suits him haha.

Designer Loco cut with real care — front, back, crown, nape, and sideburns all done meticulously. Watching from the side, I could tell right away it looked cleaner and neater!!

I thought the back was just a quick job with clippers, but there are so many clipper types and the work was surprisingly precise haha.

I don't know much about men's hair trends, but neat and clean is always best!

Just from a cut, our number-one groom candidate suddenly looks good~~

From scalp scaling to shampoo-room pressure massage: the care step by step

After the cut, we moved seats and the hair care began. A healthy scalp means healthy hair!! This step removes waste from the scalp and puts nutrients in.

Scalp scaling started. Just watching it made my own scalp feel refreshed haha. I've had plenty of hair clinics before, but this was the first time I'd seen scalp scaling — it made me want to try it myself. My friend was getting it for the first time too, and said it felt really refreshing. Cooling down a red, inflamed scalp and clearing away waste properly helps nutrients absorb better afterward.

The scalp massage on top of that was perfect...!! Watching from the side, I realized my own partner really needs scalp scaling too... let's prevent hair loss early, guys T.T After the scalp massage, they wrapped his hair to help the nutrients absorb, then put a machine over it haha. The process is definitely different from a regular hair clinic haha.

My friend looked funny, but whatever's good for the hair!!

The final care step took place in the shampoo room.

After shampooing again and applying a nutrient-rich product, this time designer Loco personally massaged the scalp by hand. He kept checking throughout if anything felt uncomfortable — very kind the whole time.

After the head spa: results and how long it took

After

The results at Toro With Geek Singeumho Branch's hair-loss prevention hair care were clear. The cut plus care took about an hour, and it was enough to relieve fatigue and calm his red scalp. My friend was getting this for the first time and was very satisfied haha. I should bring my own partner next time!
