Hey there! I'm Fatin, and you're reading my journey :)

One of South Korea’s many charms is its incredible self-care scene — something you definitely don’t want to miss as an international student.

“But I don’t even know where to begin…”

Totally understandable! With so many options, it can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry, I’ve got your back!

To narrow down our focus, how about we dive into the hair care area? 👀

✨ VOG Hair, Hongdae

Looking for a foreigner-friendly salon with nice environment, friendly staffs and good price? Well, looks like I just described VOG Hair to you!

Located in the heart of bustling Hongdae, the salon is easily accessible by public transportation. Simply take Line 2, get off at Hongik Univ Station, and walk just 5 minutes from Exit 8 and you’ll be there in no time!

The salon is renowned for its scalp treatment services, particularly the scalp scaling session. During the treatment, a professional staff member will assess the condition of your scalp in real time and provide personalized recommendations to help you maintain a healthy scalp.

But if you want to go with something much lighter, I highly recommend their hair spa package. It offers a soothing and relaxing experience, with attentive staff guiding you through each stage of the treatment to ensure maximum comfort. I was even treated to a light snack and a refreshing iced drink while waiting for my treatment to finish!
