Jeju Sauna

You first have to check in at the front to pay for admission and get a bracelet before going in. When checking in, you leave your ID for security purposes so you don't dine and dash. Or spa/sauna and dash in this case. You have a choice of paying upfront on services you'll want or get it in the back, and they charge it to your number that's on the bracelet, and you can pay when you check out. You can get a plain body scrub and hair shampoo for $60. The other services include that but also face masks and various massages, but those run upwards to $100 or more.
The sauna part is split between male and female. They also have hip bath for women and have a wax and nail service. It says it's on the second floor, but I'm unsure.
As someone stated, or rather questioned, you do have two pieces, short and shorts, that is of a light orange color. A white robe would be out of the question since those would fly open easily. And I'm sure the last thing anyone wants is to see all that junk inside someone else's trunk and more. Even more so if you have your kids with you. Also, a white robe would be a terrible color, given it would stain easily with either beauty products that had dye or of the food they serve there. Orange does make it look like you're running a prison, but if you do just run out without paying, you'll be really spotted before changing.
Gangnam Sauna

It was a nice experience, especially for someone not used to going to any saunas.
When you first go in, you'll go to the front desk to pay to go use the sauna. If I remember correctly, it's around 20, give or take, but don't quote me on that!
There are different packages/experiences you can buy, such as a full body scrub with shampooing that starts at $60 or the more expensive ones that'll include facial and more. I recommend the body scrub cause my goodness. I thought I was good about scrubbing, but I was proven wrong when I saw the amount of dead skin that was scrubbed off me. There is also a hip bath you can get(extra charge), but I honestly have no idea what that is and was so scared to find out, but maybe next time.
Near the front desk, off to the side, is a small restaurant. To order, you'll have to first check in to get a bracelet with a number and key. The key is for the locker you're assigned to in the back of the sauna area to store your things. The food you order is paid when you check out, along with any other things you got from the front, such as face masks or scrubbers. The food was delicious. We ordered a fried fish dish, and it was drenched in oil like some places do it. You will get a little side dish tray of 4 different side dishes along with it. I'm pretty sure you can get more if you asked, though I'm unsure since we didn't need much given that we were focused on just the fish and rice.
The sauna provides their own soap, shampoo, and conditioners along with small towels. As stated before, you can buy extra things but it seems you can bring your own.
There is a sign that says check out is 11am, so it seems you can stay overnight, but given I'm staying at a hotel, I know nothing of it. But I'm sure the front desk receptionist can help with that. I will note that it seems to be run by Korean ladies, but they know a good bit of English to communicate with you and your needs.
