No! All centers listed on KBeautySeoul.co.kr have English-speaking staff or translation support. You can also book online in English, and we'll handle the communication with the spa.

Most Korean massage centers provide disposable underwear or spa robes. You'll undress to your comfort level - full body massage works best with minimal clothing, but therapists are professional and use proper draping techniques.

Tipping is not expected or common in Korea, including at spas and massage centers. The price you see is the final price. However, if you receive exceptional service, a small tip (₩10,000-20,000) is appreciated but never required.

Please inform your therapist about any health conditions, injuries, allergies, or pregnancy before your session. Most conditions can be accommodated with adjusted techniques, but some may require medical clearance. Always consult your doctor first.

For weekends and evenings, book at least 2-3 days in advance. Weekday mornings and afternoons usually have same-day availability. During peak tourist seasons (summer, winter holidays), book 5-7 days ahead for the best selection.

Korean massage can range from gentle relaxation to intense deep tissue work. Always communicate your pressure preference - say "약하게 (yahkage)" for lighter or "세게 (sehgeh)" for stronger. Good therapists will adjust to your comfort level. Some therapeutic discomfort is normal, but it should never be unbearable.

Yes, absolutely! Korean massage centers welcome all genders. You can usually request a male or female therapist based on your preference (specify when booking). Most centers have separate changing areas and private treatment rooms.

A head spa focuses on scalp health and relaxation, while a hair salon focuses on styling. Head spa includes: deep scalp cleansing, professional massage, circulation improvement, and stress relief. Hair salons cut, color, and style hair. Many head spas also offer basic styling, but the primary goal is wellness, not aesthetics.
