Oryudong hair salon 5-step Reminessance clinic, ₩80,000: Naple Hair

You know those moments when your hair just doesn't feel like it used to? Damaged hair had been bugging me, so I went looking for a place that could really take care of it, and this time I visited Naple Hair Oryu-dong Station (네이플헤어 오류동역점), a hair salon near Oryudong Station.

The treatment I got was the premium clinic using Reminessance products. It isn't the kind of care where they just slather on a product and call it done. It's split into 5 steps, which impressed me. Best of all, my hair felt much softer when it was over, so I was happy with it.

Today I'll go through everything I experienced, from the clinic process to the price, the time it takes and parking info. If you're thinking about damaged-hair care near Oryudong Station, have a look.

Where is Naple Hair Oryu-dong Station, and how long does the clinic take?

Naple Hair Oryu-dong Station is a hair salon on Gyeongin-ro in Guro-gu, Seoul, and the whole premium clinic took about 1 hour 30 minutes. It's worth a look if you're searching for a salon near Oryudong Station. I had my premium clinic done by the senior stylist (siljangnim).

There was no waiting when I visited, and I could start right away. Sometimes you have to wait at a salon even with a reservation, so I liked that I didn't have to this time.

Before going, I wondered how much time I'd need. Having done it, I'd say plan on a relaxed 1 hour 30 minutes. Of course, the time can vary with your hair condition and how busy the salon is, so it's best to check when you book.

How much is the Reminessance premium clinic?

The Reminessance premium clinic I had at Naple Hair Oryu-dong Station cost ₩80,000, and the Clinic section of the menu said "no extra charge for length." Price is the first thing you check when you get a clinic at a salon, right?

Many of you probably wonder whether you'll be charged more depending on hair length. I liked that there's no extra fee for length. Prices and discount policies can change depending on when you visit, so I recommend checking before you book.

What products does the Reminessance premium clinic use?

The premium clinic at Naple Hair Oryu-dong Station used Reminessance (REMINESSANCE) products, and RE:X1 Aqua CMC and RE:X3 Cuticle Bond were set out at my seat. If you're into hair products, you'll probably be curious about the names too.

I liked being able to see for myself which products were used this time. When you hear "premium clinic," you wonder how it differs from a regular treatment, right? This one involved applying products over several steps and a steam treatment. Having tried it, I could feel a difference in the process compared with using a treatment at home after shampooing.

If your hair is badly damaged or you're sensitive to certain ingredients, it's a good idea to have a thorough consultation before the treatment.

How does the 5-step Reminessance premium clinic work?

The Reminessance premium clinic ran in 5 steps in total: shampoo, moisture protein application, oil protein application, steam, and finishing care followed by a shampoo. I'll go through what happened at each step, in order.

Step 1. Starting with a shampoo

First came a shampoo. They explained it as a process to open up the scalp. Before the actual clinic products went on, this step was about getting the hair cleaned up with a shampoo. They took things step by step from the start, so I could relax into the treatment. When you get a clinic at a salon, knowing the order it goes in really helps you understand the process.

Step 2. Moisture protein, then shampoo

The second step was applying a moisture protein product to the hair. After applying it, they let it absorb for a while, then rinsed it out with a shampoo. At first I only pictured applying one product and waiting, but what stood out this time was that each step had a different kind of care. If you want care that suits your hair condition, it's worth asking about this step-by-step approach during your consultation.

Step 3. Oil protein application

In the third step, an oil protein product was applied to the hair. In the photos you can see the stylist holding my hair and spraying the product on. Seeing the treatment up close like this made it easy to understand the order of the clinic.

This time in particular, the senior stylist kept making sure I was comfortable throughout the treatment. At a salon the result matters, but so does how comfortable you are while getting it, right? I was happy with that part.

Step 4. Steam to help the products absorb

The fourth step was a steam treatment. I was told it's a process of steaming the hair so the products applied earlier absorb well.

Step 5. Final care product absorbed, then shampoo

In the last step, they let one more care product absorb. Then a shampoo tidied everything up, and that wrapped up the whole clinic.

From the first shampoo to the final care, it was 5 steps in total, and the whole thing took about 1 hour 30 minutes. With so many steps I thought it would feel long, but I was able to spend the time comfortably. I especially liked that the senior stylist paid attention throughout the whole treatment. For the person being treated, these thoughtful little details seem to affect how satisfied you are.

How did my hair change after the premium clinic?

Right after the Step 1 shampoo of the Reminessance premium clinic, my hair was so tangled I couldn't even comb it, but after the last step it combed through smoothly. After the clinic, my hair felt much softer than before.

Since I'd come because my damaged hair was bothering me, the feel afterward was what I was most curious about. When I touched it myself, it felt soft, and I was happy with that.

Of course, I can't say one clinic fully repaired damaged hair. The change you feel can differ depending on how damaged your hair is and your usual care habits. I just want to say that, judging by how it felt right after this treatment, I was satisfied.
