Lately my scalp had been especially itchy and bothering me, so I decided it was time for a proper scalp treatment. Even shampooing carefully at home never left it feeling refreshed, and it seemed to get congested again before long. While searching for a good scalp care spot around Apgujeong Rodeo, I found Biorn Hair Apgujeong Rodeo.

Right in front of Apgujeong Rodeo Station — the salon atmosphere

Biorn Hair Apgujeong Rodeo sits right in front of Apgujeong Rodeo Station, so it was really easy to find. No long walk from the station needed, which made it convenient to reach by public transit too. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was how clean and tidy the whole space felt. It had that stylish salon atmosphere while still feeling comfortable, and the staff were kind and welcoming to a first-time visitor like me — a great first impression.

It was scorching hot that day, and since they had a tea menu, I cooled off with a drink and some snacks while waiting for Designer Jisoo.

Scalp camera diagnosis — oil, clogged pores, redness

Before starting, she carefully checked my scalp condition first. Instead of just looking with the naked eye, she used a scalp-specific camera to examine every part of it in detail, which I really appreciated. Seeing it on screen, I was a bit shocked — my scalp condition was worse than I'd thought. There was quite a lot of oil buildup, and in spots where shampoo apparently hadn't reached properly, the scalp looked congested and clogged. There was also redness scattered around, which helped explain the itchiness I'd been feeling. I rarely get to actually see my own scalp, so I'd just assumed it was itchy — but seeing it on camera made me realize I really needed to manage it regularly.

How the premium scalp treatment went

The premium scalp treatment began with prepping the scalp for a comfortable session. It focused on removing buildup and sebum that regular shampooing can't fully clear, and clearing out the clogged areas. After carefully applying product to the scalp, she worked through it section by section with real attention to detail — even the spots I could never reach myself felt thoroughly cared for.

The treatment felt comfortable throughout rather than irritating, and Designer Jisoo checked in on my scalp condition along the way, which put me even more at ease. She also worked through the scalp muscles and shoulders with just the right amount of pressure — it felt great.

Next up, deep-cleansing shampoo! She washed out the buildup deep inside the scalp, corner by corner. It wasn't just a regular hair wash — the focus was clearly on the scalp itself, so it felt far more refreshing than usual. What I liked especially was that the itchy spots were handled gently rather than scratched aggressively. After rinsing everything clean with warm water, that congested feeling was noticeably lighter.

The shampoo room was private and comfortable, so the whole session felt like a healing experience! The shampoo chair also had a massage function, which took the relaxation to another level~~!

How did my scalp look before and after?

After the shampoo, the treatment continued with whatever finishing care my scalp needed. It focused on clearing leftover oil and buildup and calming down the dry, sensitive scalp — which was especially satisfying given how much I'd been struggling with it. By the time everything was finished, the difference from before was obvious. Where my scalp had felt congested and itchy going in, it now felt noticeably cleaner and lighter. What I appreciated most was seeing exactly what my scalp needed on camera beforehand, rather than just a vague sense of feeling refreshed.

Shampooing every day doesn't automatically mean a clean scalp, it turns out. If you're like me and your scalp tends to get oily and itchy easily, a professional scalp treatment is worth trying at least once. This premium scalp treatment at Biorn Hair Apgujeong Rodeo let me see details about my scalp I'd normally never pay attention to, and the whole process felt relaxing throughout. If you're looking for a clean salon near Apgujeong Rodeo Station, or dealing with an itchy or oily scalp lately, I'd recommend giving their professional scalp treatment a try.
