A massage experience at a one-person shop in Gangseo-gu, Seoul - I received quiet healing and proper treatment

These days, I feel heavy and tired, so my condition doesn't improve no matter what I do. When I get hit by work, hit by people, and get hit by air conditioning winds, my shoulders and neck feel stiff… In this situation, I chose a one-person shop massage. It is also in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, near my house.

Actually, when I first heard the word "one-person shop," I felt a little strange. I've been to a lot of franchises and large massage shops, but it was my first time to go to a private one-person shop. But it turned out that this was more satisfying than I thought, and it was a healing method that went viral among people I knew.

Why was the one-person shop good?

The biggest advantage of a one-person shop is its quietness and concentration. It was great because it was operated by reservation system, so I didn't have to run into other customers, and I was able to take care of it in a space just for me for a fixed time. At a large store, there were times when it was noisy or uncomfortable for some reason because several people were receiving care at the same time.

The place I visited was a one-person shop in a small officetel in Hwagok-dong, Gangseo-gu. The exterior is ordinary, but the interior is decorated with warm lighting and cozy scents, so I felt good as soon as I entered. Above all, it was impressive that the quality of service was uniform and responsible as the boss took care of all the things himself.

There are many types of management, so you can choose from them

I usually have a lot of clumpy muscles, so I chose a deep tissue massage. At first, it was a little strong, but after pressing and relaxing it, I got used to it quickly. Besides, there were various care programs such as Swedish, aroma, and meridians massage, and it was customizable depending on the part you wanted.

Before maintenance, we had simple consultations. They meticulously checked where the painstaking part was, whether to apply pressure or soften, and whether there were any skin problems. I think this delicate response is the charm of a one-person shop. It was definitely different from a large store that repeats the same course like a machine.

The price was reasonable, and I had plenty of time

Sometimes franchises have a short maintenance time for high prices, or they have to come out quickly while looking at their faces... I didn't have that worry here. The price was pretty good based on 90 minutes, and I was really satisfied with the slow and meticulous finish.

And I was able to use it more conveniently because you didn't ask for any tips. Of course, I was satisfied and voluntarily thanked you. 😊

I want to recommend it to these people

Who prefers quiet, private space to crowded places

Those who want detailed communication and customized care when receiving massages

Those who sit all day or have frequent neck, shoulder, and back pain due to computer/cell phone use

A realistic healer looking for a cost-effective massage shop

Gangseo-gu has convenient transportation and many residential areas, so there are quite a few of these one-person shops. There are a lot of hidden shops around the station area such as Hwagok, Deungchon, Balsan, Magok, and Yeomchang. Of course, they're not all of the same quality, so it's important to choose well by referring to reviews and blog reviews.

The closing review

When I got home, I felt completely warmed up. It felt like I was on a short trip. It reminded me of how important it was to have an hour of my hectic day to fully concentrate on myself.

My stereotype of "massage = luxury" has also been completely broken. These days, many people go to school regularly for health care and mental care. I'm going to go there once a month in the future.

For those living in or working nearby Gangseo-gu, Seoul, if fatigue accumulates, I seriously recommend a one-person shop massage. Quiet healing, please try it.
