Reviews summaryThis was my first time getting anything like this and let me tell you, it was amazing! I went with the full care package and it was definitely worth it. The massage itself would have been worth it alone but the skin care that was done left me glowing. I don't know what they did exactly but it feels as if my skin has been restored fully. I highly recommend coming here and treating yourself, they will take care of you.
Gangnam SPA 1899 series uses 6-year-old Korean red ginseng top skin care product facia and full body massage. The full 2.5-hour treatment includes facial, body, and foot shampooing treatments, which you can choose individually. Beforehand, you have to fill out the form and drink ginseng tea first. The aromatherapy room is a full suite with very complete equipment. There are bathrobes in the clothes rack (disposable slippers and paper trousers with a password set). The security is very good. This time I chose the full-body red ginseng oil bath, which is more chilling than the single bath! After about 20 minutes of bathing, I returned to the aromatherapy room to start the treatment. The first was a back massage with red ginseng essential oil. Smell the fragrant pine back essential oil massage, and add my favorite hot compress during the process. During the process, you will be asked whether the strength needs to be adjusted.) When turning over, a towel will be used to protect the privacy of the customer. The facial treatment focuses on massaging the face to absorb the red ginseng essence. There is no pimple squeezing step. After a simple cleansing, I actually had my eyes trembled. Stuffy nose. When I returned to the reception area after the treatment, the service staff had already prepared hot tea and snacks of dried red dates and persimmons for me.
The 3-hour experience was very satisfying. The technicians were skilled, and you could feel their dedication throughout the entire process. They went all out to provide excellent service. If you have the time, I recommend trying it out. After completion, there was also a small gift ornament, and there was absolutely no hard selling of any products or services. Thumbs up!
A very good experience. After confirming payment via Klook in the email, I was able to go directly to the spa upon arrival.
The spa is really far away given I’m going from Myeongdong. First I thought it’s run by the ginseng brand but looks like it’s just a high end spa using the red ginseng products. Unlike Sulwhasoo product which I can obviously smell the ginseng flavour of their ginseng series, I don’t smell a strong ginseng scent during the facial. The package includes face and upper body massage, it was pretty good overall, but not the best massage so had. The time spent on body massage is more but personally I like face massage better. anyway. I good experience to try spa/facial in Seoul the beauty state and if you are near Gabgnam area.
A great experience. The technician didn't mess around with anything for 3 hours. He pressed the massage very well from head to tail. The environment was comfortable and it was an absolute pleasure!
It's near the hotel! A great SPA! The masseur is professional and the red ginseng essential oil smells great. Soaking your feet in red ginseng water is very comfortable and relieves a day's fatigue. Be sure to book in advance. This time I only booked one hour, and next time I will book 2 or 3 hours!
Relaxing and rejuvenating facial and head spa treatment. From the moment I walked in, the serene ambiance set the tone for a soothing experience. The facial left my skin feeling incredibly soft, hydrated and glowing. The therapist’s techniques were gentle yet effective, melting away any tension I had. I felt completely refreshed and pampered by the end of the session. Highly recommend this spa for anyone looking to unwind and treat themselves to some much-needed self-care!
Took myself and my two teens for a 60 minute facial focus treatment. we loved it. very relaxing. started with a ginseng tea and dried fruit. includes scalp neck and shoulder massage. highly recommend. thank you!
"SPA G" under the super famous Cheong Kwan Jang, experience a professional SPA made with naturally nourishing red ginseng. It is even better if you do it in winter, it can help blood circulation, and I really like the taste of red ginseng, so I chose to go there this time. The Myeongdong store of Cheongkwanjang SPA G only accepts appointments, so remember to call the day before to make an appointment, and choose which type of maintenance item to do. Or you can go to their official website to make an online appointment.
