Why a private shop costs more

At a bathhouse you get scrubbed in the shared bathing room. A private shop gives you a room of your own, and the course usually covers more than the scrub. The 60-minute Basic at Pibu Heeda has a bath, scrub, facial and hair care. The 70-minute course in Jinju includes an aroma bath, scalp care, and hair and face packs.

Private shops take bookings, and 16 of the 20 we list are women-only. Men should check before planning around one.

Before you pay

  • Small bathhouse scrub corners sometimes prefer cash.
  • Onah Dongdaemun’s menu prices are cash prices, with no discount for paying by card.
  • There is no tipping.
  • If the scrub is too firm, say “yak-hage” (약하게). It means “gently.”
