If hair shedding has you considering your first scalp treatment, start by checking how your scalp will be assessed and what you will pay that day. For an after-work visit, check the available start times too.

At a glance
- First, check whether a scalp assessment is included in the treatment. If a detailed assessment is a separate option, add that charge to the total.
- Check 19:00 appointment availability separately from closing times. Booking options in Sinnonhyeon and Sinsa offer that start time.
- Look around Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon, and allow travel time for Sinsa and Apgujeong. If work finishes late, Saturday care is another option.
Check assessment costs and appointment start times together.
A scalp assessment may be included in treatment or charged as a separate option. If you want an assessment on your first visit, check what the head spa price includes. Knowing the total, including any extra assessment fee, makes budgeting easier.
Closing time alone cannot tell you whether an evening appointment will work. For treatments lasting 80 or 90 minutes, the start time determines whether you can visit after work. Look around Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon, and consider head spas in Sinsa and Apgujeong if you can travel farther. Saturday lets you book without working around your finish time.

For an after-work visit, start with Dr.FORHAIR Care Lab Gangnam Main Branch. This Sinnonhyeon salon assesses your scalp before treatment in a private room. An on-site report by Consumer Times also describes a scope examination, showing how the scalp is viewed under magnification.
The 80-minute course on MyRealTrip costs ₩200,000. A 19:00 appointment was available on Thursday, October 8. The same total appeared with the quantity set to 1. Consider it if you want an assessment and treatment on a weekday evening. The product name “hair-loss care” does not imply a medical treatment effect.
- Hours
- Weekdays 10:00–22:00, Saturday 10:00–18:00; closed Sundays and public holidays
- Watch out
- At ₩200,000 for a first treatment, it is costly if you only want to try scalp care.

If you can spare around 90 minutes, consider the head spa at Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam Branch in Sinnonhyeon. It is a separately booked scalp care course inside a hair salon. The listed process starts with a detailed analysis using a scalp analyzer, followed by treatment. The basic 15-step course costs ₩180,000, and the 18-step course costs ₩250,000.
Start times matter more for longer courses. The October 8 booking calendar offered appointments up to 18:30. On Saturday, October 10, 14:00 was available. Saturday is a better fit if you would arrive after 19:00 on a weekday. The 18-step course takes 105 minutes. Leave plenty of time for treatment, even on the weekend.
- Hours
- Daily 10:00–20:00
- Watch out
- This is a longer treatment rather than a short trial, so allow at least 90 minutes, even on weekends.

Consider Ahead Head Spa if you are happy to travel to Sinsa. It offers a Naver first-visit promotion for domestic customers. The 60-minute Relaxing course costs ₩95,000. The treatment listing starts with device-based scalp analysis, followed by scalp scaling, steam and a head spa.
The first-visit booking option offered 19:00 on October 8. It could also be selected for one person. A private room is worth considering when you want to unwind alone. The salon is near Sinsa Station, though, so you will need to travel from Gangnam Station.
- Watch out
- Traveling to Sinsa is a drawback if you want to finish your visit right by Gangnam Station.

At Itsme Head Spa Gangnam Branch, the head spa and detailed assessment are priced separately. The all-in-one head spa on MyRealTrip costs ₩88,000. The detailed assessment option adds ₩22,000. Selecting one of each displayed a total of ₩110,000. Use that total to budget for a first visit that includes an assessment.
The salon is close to Sinnonhyeon Station, but its current Naver listing shows a 19:00 closing time on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It does not suit an arrival after 19:00. Saturday hours are 13:00–17:00, making it a better fit for a weekend afternoon treatment. The listing says it is closed on October 9, Hangeul Day.
- Hours
- According to Naver: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 11:00–19:00; Saturday and Sunday 13:00–17:00; closed Mondays
- Watch out

Consider Scalp It Head Spa Apgujeong if you want to see your scalp before and after treatment. It uses a Beacon scanner to assess the scalp in Apgujeong. The equipment supplier’s installation case study describes the assessment process. The same area is photographed again after treatment for comparison. These records should not be interpreted as evidence of effective hair-loss treatment.
The problem-scalp care course lasts 60 minutes. Naver lists a first-visit price of ₩90,000. The booking description also states that treatment follows a detailed assessment. The salon stays open until 20:00 on Saturdays too. However, the one-person booking calendar for October 8 did not offer 19:00. Consider it when you can make time on Saturday, rather than counting on an evening start.
- Hours
- Daily 10:00–20:00
- Watch out
- It is outside the Gangnam Station area, and the relevant booking calendar did not offer a 19:00 visit on October 8.

Ask before you go
- 1Is my booking confirmed as soon as I select an evening time at Dr.FORHAIR Care Lab Gangnam Main Branch?
After you request a date and time, the business must check and confirm it. The MyRealTrip listing states that cancellations and refunds are unavailable once confirmed. If your work finish time might change, check this condition before paying.
- 2Can everyone get the 20% discount at Park Jun Beauty Lab Gangnam Branch?
The Naver booking information requires payment through Naver Pay and a photo review of at least 300 characters, including a photo taken from behind. With these conditions applied, the 15-step course is listed at ₩144,000. Distinguish the base price from the conditional discount when budgeting.
- 3Can I combine Ahead Head Spa’s first-visit discount with the couples’ promotion?
The Naver first-visit 50% promotion cannot be combined with the couples’ head spa 1+1 promotion. The first-visit promotion applies to the booking program for domestic customers.
- 4What happens if work runs late and I miss my booked start time at Dr.FORHAIR Care Lab Gangnam Main Branch?
The booking information states that arriving late may shorten your treatment. Plan to arrive at your booked start time, rather than relying on the salon’s closing time.
