Korean spa in Carrollton, Texas
Brazier is a Korean spa with a wood-fired heat room, separate baths for women and men, a rest floor everyone shares and a kitchen. Walk in any day we are open and stay up to six hours.
The floors
Six places, from the front hall to the kitchen. Take them in any order and stay as long as your entry lasts.
Shoes off, locker key, uniform and towel. Kyungsook and the front hall team greet you here, and the kitchen is beside it.
Women's and men's baths are separate, each with showers, warm and cool tubs and a seat to rest between. Bathing is unclothed, as at spas in Korea.
Two tables, a wall shower and a therapist who explains each step. Booked ahead, or ask at the front hall.
The wood-fired Brazier, the charcoal Dome, the salt room and a cool room to step into between them. The uniform is worn here.
A warm floor of woven mats with wooden headrests, shared by everyone in the uniform. Lie down, talk quietly, or sleep.
Korean dishes, tea and cold barley water at low tables. Eat in the uniform, and stay as long as your entry lasts.
Rules
Most are what you would guess. The rules page says what to wear in each room.
The shared rooms
The heat rooms, the rest floor and the kitchen are shared by women, men, families and groups. We give everyone the same top and shorts, so nobody is looking at anyone else's clothes.
Sizes run from small to extra large, and the baths stay separate.
Top, shorts, towel and locker key at the front hall
The same uniform for every guest, every age
Families and groups together on the rest floor
Hours
Walk in any time we are open; the baths, heat rooms and rest floor need no booking. Last entry is two hours before closing.
The team
Thirty of us work at Brazier across the baths, the heat rooms, the scrub room and the kitchen. These five are who you will meet first.
Owner and massage therapist
Seokjin opened Brazier on Old Denton Road and lights the wood fire in the heat room before the doors open on the days he works. He does deep tissue and foot massage. He speaks Korean and English and works Tuesday to Saturday.
Floor manager
Kyungsook runs the floors and the front hall: lockers, uniforms and who goes where. She greets families and groups in Korean and English, and she will tell you which room to start with on a first visit.
Esthetician and scrub room lead
Joonyoung is Seokjin's son and leads the scrub room and the facials. He explains each step before he starts and stops whenever you ask. He speaks Korean and English and works Wednesday to Sunday.
Massage therapist
Flavio works with slow, firm pressure on shoulders, backs and legs, and checks in again halfway through. He speaks English and Spanish and works Monday to Friday.
Esthetician
Allene does the facials and the body scrub, and starts every one with a look at your skin and a talk about what you use at home. She speaks English and works Thursday to Monday.
No. Walk in any day we are open and use the baths, the heat rooms, the rest floor and the kitchen. Book ahead for a treatment, and call for a group of eight or more.
Street clothes to the front hall, then the top and shorts we give you for the shared floors. The baths are unclothed, as at spas in Korea, and a towel is provided. The rules page goes room by room.
Day entry lasts up to six hours. Last entry is two hours before we close.
Yes. Children 6 to 15 come with a parent or guardian who stays with them, and they use the rest floor, the kitchen and the cool room. The heat rooms are for guests 16 and older.
A change of clothes, and a hair tie if you need one. We give you a towel, a uniform and a locker key, and soap and shampoo are in the baths. Leave valuables at home.
In the lot behind the building, which holds a car for every guest at once on most days. The entrance is on Old Denton Road.
