Jamsilsaenae hair salon scalp treatment after a run: Only For You

I've been running a lot lately and my scalp condition has been bugging me more than before, ugh. On days when I sweat a lot after working out, it feels like there's still heat left on my scalp, and since I'm also growing out my hair, I figured it was time for a trim too — so I got scalp care and a cut done together this time.

I've had a bob for a while now and I'm growing it out, but the ends were feeling heavy and messy, so I decided to get them cleaned up too…

This time I visited Only For You Jamsilsaenae Branch~!

Only For You Jamsilsaenae Branch

Where is Only For You Jamsilsaenae Branch, and when is it open?

Only For You Jamsilsaenae Branch is about a 3-5 minute walk from Exit 4 of Jamsilsaenae Station toward Sincheon Meokjagolmok, so it was pretty easy to get to by public transport. The salon itself is about 200㎡ (60-pyeong), so it felt quite spacious and comfortable! On weekdays and Saturdays it's open until 10pm — whoa, so you could even drop by after work. It's closed on September 25 for Chuseok, so keep that in mind if you're planning a visit!

Parking is free for up to 3 hours, and you can book through Naver Reservation or pay with Naver Pay or other mobile payment options.

There are dedicated treatment spaces for each designer and plenty of waiting seats, so nothing felt cramped — I liked that a lot.

What does Designer Q at Only For You specialise in?

That day I got scalp care and a cut from Designer Q at Only For You Jamsilsaenae Branch. Designer Q specializes in low-maintenance iron perms and layered perms, and runs consultations aimed at finding a personal design that suits each client.

I didn't get a perm this time, but it made me think that next time I do, it'd be worth consulting on what style would suit my hair condition. I heard Designer Q at this Jamsilsaenae hair salon is especially known for jelly perms!!!

Korean scalp care step by step: from scalp diagnosis to the scalp pack

Along with the cut, what I was really looking forward to that day was the scalp care. Since I run often, there are days after working out and sweating a lot when my scalp feels warm. Usually I only pay attention to my hair, but this time I decided to properly take care of my scalp too.

The scalp care at Only For You Jamsilsaenae Branch doesn't start with just applying product — it begins with a scalp diagnosis! First they checked my current scalp condition, then moved on to aroma care.

After that, they carefully applied a scaling product all over my scalp and did steam, haha — the soak stage >_<

There was a battery issue at one point, but they thoughtfully brought over a portable charger too! With the warm steam, my scalp started feeling really relaxed, and after that they applied a scaling shampoo and did a scalp massage.

I like a shampoo massage with just the right amount of a cool, refreshing feel on the scalp, and that day it was done carefully without being too much, so it felt really comfortable. After moving to the shampoo room, they applied another scalp product and did steam once more — and the shampoo chair was a massage chair, so it was total healing.

From scalp diagnosis to aroma, scaling, steam, shampoo massage, and scalp pack — the process was broken into stages and was more thorough than I expected. By the end, my scalp felt refreshed with no stuffy feeling at all. If you exercise often or sweat a lot, it might be worth checking your scalp condition once in a while and getting the care you actually need!

Growing out a bob: an ends-only trim instead of a layered cut

I actually came in thinking about getting a layered bob cut, but Designer Q told me it would be better to grow the length out a bit more first. To get the layered bob look I actually wanted, the length needed to be a little longer than it currently was, so instead of forcing layers in now, they set a direction of growing my hair out healthily for the time being~!

So that day, they kept the overall length as much as possible while carefully cleaning up the heavy, messy-looking parts right at the ends.

When I told them I was growing my hair out, I really appreciated how they checked everything carefully so the overall shape wouldn't fall apart, even while barely cutting off length. This is a period where even a small cut can noticeably shorten the length, so I tend to care a lot about this when getting a trim!

After the trim, the length stayed almost the same but the ends felt lighter than before and the overall silhouette looked neater. It felt more satisfying because they cut with the next stage in mind, rather than just making it look nice right now.

Next time, I'm planning to grow it out a bit more and get the layered bob I originally wanted, then naturally move into growing it out further >_< From scalp care to the cut, everything was handled so carefully that it was a satisfying visit. Big recommend for Designer Q at Only For You, this Jamsilsaenae hair salon.
