my first time at the korean spa

SOoo my friend took me to a korean spa in Chicago and it was SO FUN - head bun and all!!  It's called www.kingspa.com.  So I thought I'd blog about my experience there.

You first enter and take off your shoes and place it into a cubby.

  They give you a wrist band with a sensor on it  which they will use to charge any purchase on.   You then enter the spa and get naked to rinse down.



 This was probably the worst part cause everyone was naked.  But it was all old ajima's (old korean ladies) , kids, and some girls my age.  No one acted weird, so after a while it wasn't too bad.    They also offer a scrub down where you lay on a table and with a scrub glow they rub u down to get off all ur dead skin.  My friend says it feels really good.  I wasn't adventurous enough to do it today.  Maybe next time.  =)

Then you enter the lounge which is unisex.   They have huge ornate pink chairs!

 Here they have a huge sitting area, food court, and multiple themed hot rooms.  We first sat around and tried all the hot rooms.   There were probably like 10 different themed steam rooms.

rock room
pyramid room - real gold plated!
entrance to the salt room
Then of course we ate!   We got smoothies and dukbokigi , soup, rice, and of course shaved ice patbingsoo!

Then we went into the theater room, where they have THE MOST comfortable leather recliners ever.   They were playing Harry Potter so we mossy on in to relax.

We both feel asleep  lol.

Woke up and ate some more.


layed around some more and called it a day.   It was like being in your pj's and lounging around a really big house.  So it was really fun and relaxing.  lol.   If you guys ever visit, we def have to hit up the spa again.   It was so fun and relaxing I wish they had more around!
