Since it specializes in scalp care, a lot of professional products are displayed.
The staff are incredibly friendly.

Private room:

Even better than expected — cozy, relaxing, and spacious.

Soft aroma scent, calming BGM, a wide massage bed, and even YouTube to watch during treatments!

Head spa zone:

Minimalist, slightly dim lighting, peaceful — perfect for deep relaxation.

🌿 My Experience

I came after eating, so I couldn’t finish the snacks and watermelon they served — such a pity because they were delicious!
My younger sibling even took pictures of the snack to buy more later 😂
They really made us feel well taken care of.

KOREAN PAK – 105 minutes

👉 60-min full-body massage
👉 45-min herbal head spa
👉 Local snack + “Spa Cinema”
👉 Tip included

The weather was hot and my body was tired, so I practically “logged out” right away.
Listening to familiar Korean music made it even more relaxing.
The massage technique was excellent — I’m usually sensitive to pressure, but here I slept peacefully and woke up feeling light and refreshed.

Head spa:
Amazing — my head felt lighter, cleaner, and fresh.
After riding a motorbike in the city heat, the herbal cleanse felt like my scalp could finally “breathe.”

✨ Final Thoughts

One phrase: Total satisfaction.

Perfect for:

Travelers feeling tired, hot, or heavy-headed

People with oily or congested scalps

Those feeling stressed, unfocused, or sleep-deprived

Anyone seeking a quiet, clean spa in the city center

Families, couples, friends — everyone

Even though it’s in the middle of downtown, the atmosphere is private and peaceful — great for dates or small gatherings.

A place that resets both your head and your heart — Shinrin Spa is a healing spot you shouldn’t miss when visiting Ho Chi Minh City.
