Sangwangsimni Korean head spa for perm-damaged hair: Urban Ground

Why I chose Urban Ground Hair in Sangwangsimni for damaged hair care

I perm my hair pretty often, so my hair damage is fairly severe, and lately I've been trying to get consistent care for it. These clinic programs vary a lot from shop to shop, so I think it's more important to find one that fits your hair condition than to just go somewhere famous. This time I visited Urban Ground Hair Sangwangsimni Station Branch, a Sangwangsimni hair salon a lot of people go to for the Nanoheel program.

The salon vibe and the locker room name setting

Urban Ground Hair Sangwangsimni Station Branch is on the 2nd floor of the VIP Building on Wangsimni-ro. The first thing that caught my eye walking in was how bright the space was, filled with natural light. The clean white-toned interior didn't feel stuffy at all, and overall it gave off the impression of a space you could comfortably relax in.

The designers greeted me warmly too, and since I'd booked ahead, my name was already set up in the locker room. It might be a small detail, but it made me feel welcomed from the very start and got things off to a good mood.

The consultation recommends the Nanoheel clinic

This treatment was handled by designer Haesu. There were several options and I was torn on which to pick, but she carefully checked my hair condition first, went through a consultation, and recommended that the Nanoheel care would suit me well.

It's a method that fills accumulated damage with protein in stages, so it seemed like the most suitable fit for my current condition. Getting that thorough an explanation before deciding made me trust the process even more.

How does the 4-step Nanoheel clinic actually go?

The Nanoheel clinic started with a shampoo and went through four steps in total. First, the shampoo cleared away any residue left on the hair, and then the real process began.

The whole process ran through four steps total, filling in protein components of different particle sizes in stages, which gave it a steady, methodical feel.

There was a heat treatment step in the middle, and they brought out warm tea for me to enjoy while waiting, so I could relax comfortably.

Head spa in the spa room, resting in the massage chair

After the heat treatment finished, I moved to the spa room for the head spa, and honestly, this part of the time was my favorite.

Sitting comfortably in the massage chair, the tension naturally melted away. Just resting for a bit felt so refreshing that I lost track of time.

Hair condition right after treatment, and how long it took

The total time, including the finishing blow-dry, was about 70-80 minutes. The first thing I noticed right away was the texture of my hair.

Normally when I run a comb through my hair, it catches in spots partway through, but right after the treatment it combed through so much more smoothly, and I could feel the difference immediately. My hair overall felt noticeably weightier too, and the parts that usually looked frizzy and spread out looked much calmer, which was satisfying. Even styling it, the texture felt more settled, and it made me think I'd like to keep coming back regularly on a maintenance schedule.

In summary

This Sangwangsimni hair salon, Urban Ground Hair, paid careful attention from start to finish, which made for a comfortable time. Designer Haesu in particular looked after everything closely, from the consultation through the process to the finish, which made it even more satisfying. If you're struggling with damaged hair and not sure which program to choose, this is a Sangwangsimni hair salon where a thorough consultation can help you find the right direction for your hair condition together — worth a visit.
