Korean head spa and 25cm hair donation bob cut in Sinchon: Demon Hair
In short
Demon Hair Sinchon Branch is a hair salon in Seodaemun, Seoul, a 2-3 minute walk from Exit 1 of Sinchon Station on Line 2. Designer Yerim cut off exactly 25cm for a hair donation, shaping a light bob, and paired it with the salon's signature Premium Deep Scaling course, which runs the full sequence from an aroma massage to DOHI SPA water care. Both the cut line and the refreshed, cooled scalp were satisfying enough that color or a perm at Demon Hair is next on the list.

After a brutally hot summer that left my scalp exhausted and my hair a frizzy mess, I headed over to Demon Hair Sinchon Branch near Sinchon Station to get some healing and a proper trim.
How to walk to Demon Hair Sinchon Branch from Sinchon Station
📍 Location and directions
Demon Hair Sinchon Branch is really easy to reach by public transit.
• By subway: Take Exit 1 of Sinchon Station on Line 2, head a short way toward Hyundai Department Store (toward Yonsei-ro), and you'll find it on the 4th floor between the KFC and Mega Coffee building. It's only 2-3 minutes on foot from the exit, so even people with zero sense of direction (like me!) can find it easily.
One-on-one consultation with designer Yerim
💇♀️ 1:1 consultation with designer Yerim
Walking in, I was greeted warmly, and designer Yerim took charge of my treatment.
I donate my hair to 'Omona Movement' every two years, so we decided on cutting exactly 25cm, going for a light, neatly finished bob rather than a heavy one.
For scalp care, I went with the salon's signature course, the 'Premium Deep Scaling Cut.' Handy tip: first-time visitors get 30% off, so that's part of why I picked the premium option ☺️
Looking at my scalp condition, she thought the premium course would suit me, but she never pushed it on me. During the consultation she listened carefully to my usual scalp concerns and hair condition and kept the conversation warm and friendly, so by the time the treatment started I already felt genuinely close to her.
What happens during the Premium Deep Scaling head spa course
💆♀️ Premium Deep Scaling full course process
Demon Hair's Premium Deep Scaling was well-rounded and systematic!
Aroma massage: It started with an aroma massage to release tension in the shoulders and neck, using one of three essential oils I picked from. I was surprised a hair designer even does this, but the gentle scent relaxed me completely. More than anything, it felt reassuring that my designer was taking care of me from start to finish.
Healing treatment application: She carefully applied a healing product all over the scalp to dissolve built-up dead skin and impurities, then used galvanic current to help it absorb well.
Mist steam care: Warm steam is applied to help soften the dead skin on the scalp.
DOHI SPA water care: Moving to the shampoo room, warm streams of water soak the whole head in the DOHI SPA treatment — my scalp, which had felt tingly and cool, turned warm and toasty, and the gentle water pressure was so relaxing I nearly dozed off.
Tonic & nutrient ampoule: It was almost surprising how many products go into a single treatment, but my scalp was thoroughly pampered. The freshly cleaned pores were loaded up with nutrients.
The before and after of the scaling is so obviously different... I guess it's not just teeth that need scaling, my scalp needs attention too 😘
Designer Yerim's shampoo tips and ingredients to watch for
💡 Designer Yerim's tips on proper shampoo method & ingredients!
Chatting with Yerim, I picked up a ton of home-care tips for keeping a healthy scalp between salon visits!
🚿 How to shampoo properly
- Brush before shampooing: This removes surface debris first and prevents tangling, reducing damage to hair.
- Soak thoroughly with lukewarm water: The scalp needs time to be properly softened with lukewarm water.
- Lather and massage: Work up a lather in your palms first, then place it on your scalp and massage gently with your fingertips.
- Rinse thoroughly everywhere: Leftover residue can cause scalp trouble, so rinse it all out completely.
❌ Shampoo ingredients to avoid
- Sulfate-based surfactants: Their cleansing power is so strong it can throw off the scalp's oil-moisture balance — she recommended sulfate-free products.
- Silicone ingredients (like dimethicone): These give an instant smoothness but can clog scalp pores.
- Artificial fragrances and synthetic dyes: These can irritate sensitive scalps, so it's worth being cautious.
The bob cut after 25cm off: how the line falls
✨ After & successful transformation!
Here's the finished result after all the care and the cut! My frizzy hair became clean and sleek, and I loved the light, falling line — very much that layered-cut look you see at Sinchon hair salons. But most of all, thanks to the Premium Deep Scaling, my scalp felt so cool and refreshed deep down, I was completely satisfied!
Between her skill and how warm and friendly she was, the whole appointment with Yerim felt like a healing session. Next time, I'm thinking of trying color or a perm.
If you're near Sinchon looking for a hair salon that does great cuts or careful, thorough scalp care, definitely look up designer Yerim at Demon Hair Sinchon Branch! 👍❤️
