Sanbon Scalp Care at Dono Foresta: 1:1 Review

Hi, this is Ijjingne. Maybe because the weather has been changing so much lately, my scalp felt itchy and dry, but it also got oily quickly. It was stressful, so I went straight to get scalp care.

The location is Sanbon Rodeo, about a 2-minute walk from Sanbon Station Exit 3. Hours listed in the source are 10:00-20:00, closed every Sunday. I booked through Naver Reservation before visiting. It operates 100% by reservation. The official hours run until 20:00, but the reviewer says later care may be possible after coordinating with the owner.

I changed shoes and went inside.

The interior was clean and well organized. The space was divided into a spa area and a care area, and because it was a private 1:1 treatment, I liked that they could focus only on me.

First, they slowly went through my scalp concerns and what I wanted to improve through consultation, then made products matched to me. The source also lists promotions: free scalp diagnosis fee of KRW 20,000 with a Naver coupon, 10% discount plus one extra session when registering for membership the same day, one extra session after writing a Naver review following membership registration, the membership discount rate continuing even after the event ends, and membership use with family, partner, or friends.

Even from the review photos, you can feel a certain difference.

I will show the before and after first. Even with one care session, I could see a result. My dry scalp and pores had sebum blocking the openings, but after just one session, my scalp looked glossy and the pores felt thoroughly cleaned.

First, I went to the shampoo room for cleansing, steam, and massage.

When I sat in the shampoo chair, they put a leg massager on me, plus a disposable heated eye mask. The care takes quite a while, and during that time they eased my swollen legs and helped reduce eye fatigue. They also put disposable foot covers on me, so it felt hygienic. They adjusted the strength carefully too.

Mineral deep cleansing: this helps remove dead skin cells and calm the scalp. The source says it is gentle on the scalp, uses mild ingredients, and dissolves flakes well just by spraying.

Seborrheic special care: they applied a special solution for problematic scalp improvement. My scalp was not seborrheic, but it was oily, so they added a special solution to help regulate sebum. The source says it is excellent for easing inflammation and itching.

Steam step: this helps the applied solutions absorb well and softens dead skin cells sufficiently.

Customized shampoo step: because everyone has different scalp concerns, they made and washed with a shampoo matched to each person’s scalp. The owner’s hand technique felt amazing.

Scalp massage: they massaged the whole scalp with an electric tool that has small protrusions.

Shampoo resting step: the customized shampoo made for me was not only for cleansing. It contained many nutrients needed for hair growth, so they left it on for 5 minutes before rinsing.

Water punch and scalp pressure-point massage: they used strong water pressure to remove waste from inside the pores, then applied a scalp pack and pressed pressure points before rinsing everything clean.

The leg massage during the care felt so refreshing. They even covered me neatly with a blanket, and I almost fell asleep during the treatment.

After moving seats, they lightly dried only my scalp and started the second stage.

High-nutrition customized tonic: the source says it contains nourishing ingredients effective for hair growth and helps circulation. Because it contains menthol, it felt very cooling. The tingling feeling tightens the scalp pores and is said to help improve the scalp.

High-nutrition regenerative ampoule moisturizer: it contains an EGF growth-factor ingredient, which the source says helps scalp regeneration and hair growth. Because the ampoule itself is a high-nutrition moisturizer, they said it is also very effective for hydration.

Improving absorption: this step helps the applied nutrients reach deeper into the pores. With instantaneous microcurrent waves, the pores briefly expand so the nutrients can absorb inward.

Low-frequency machine: this was for scalp elasticity and scalp lifting. The source says scalp elasticity can help reduce hair shedding, and lifting the scalp can help prevent facial skin from sagging, so they pulled everything up firmly.

High-frequency care: the source describes this as a service for scalp bacteria and follicle mite removal.

Ion mist: this supplies moisture to the scalp and hair and opens the pores once more so nutrients can reach inside.

Before the seated treatment, they prepared warm tea and snacks. Coffee and iced tea were also available, and I chose lemongrass.

This cappuccino-flavored snack was good.

LED machine care: the three light wavelengths each have different effects. Blue is described as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory for easing inflammation, pink for hair elasticity, and red for nutrient absorption.

Finishing dry: the dry was genuinely touching. Even though my hair is long enough to reach below my chest, the owner dried it all personally and applied Moroccan Oil hair essence.

For people with plans afterward, a flat iron and curling iron are also prepared, so they can be used comfortably.

My scalp changed into something so clean. I wished I had come sooner. If you have scalp concerns, I highly recommend Dono Foresta Sanbon. Try the refreshing scalp feeling for yourself.
