What Is a Head Spa?

Head spas focus squarely on scalp and hair health above all else.

The experience is designed to be both relaxing and rejuvenating, often incorporating aromatherapy and soothing products.

Suitable for people with all hair textures, appointments last anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours.

Often, appointments are catered specifically to your needs after a visual assessment and discussion with your practitioner.

Our scalps are often considered an afterthought unless there is a significant or noticeable issue.

My appointment started in the chair, where we discussed my concerns and goals.

In the treatment room, I laid on a flat massage table with a large sink/tub at the head.

Head spas are definitely a luxuryjust like nail appointments, massages, and facials.
