Japanese Head Spa

Japanese Head Spa - a relatively new phenomenon in the West - is a deeply relaxing massage techniques and water therapy were the scalp and hair are cleansed and nourished.

​

Inspired by the mineral-rich waters of Japan’s onsens (thermal springs), the head spa experience incorporates water fountain therapy for you to enjoy the soothing sensation of trickling water and a steam treatment to detoxify the scalp, open pores, and improve hydration.

The treatment is adapted to your scalp and hair needs and your aroma therapy preferences.

What to expect during your Japanese Head Spa treatment.

To begin you will choose your favourite essential oils, while enjoying a welcoming cup of herbal tea, Heather will use these oils throughout your treatment.

This will be followed by a scalp analysis and the selection of the most appropriate products for your scalp and hair.

After some soothing jade combing of your hair, you will move to the therapy couch to begin the treatment.

This will be heated to your preference, cocooning you in calming warmth, with a weighted blanket to make you feel held and comfortable. 

​

A gentle exfoliating scrub is then applied to the scalp which stimulates blood flow and circulation, opening up the hair follicles, allowing for better hydration of the conditioning treatments later on. After this, the water therapy begins with a halo fountain of water and double shampoo; the first to remove any build-up of product and the second to thoroughly cleanse and refresh the hair.

​

Throughout the entire treatment, your head, neck and shoulders will be massaged according to the pressure you like, and various head spa tools will be used such as the cooling jade eye mask, gua sha and scalp massagers.

​​

Once conditioner has been applied, you will move on to the hair steaming part of the treatment allowing for full absorption into the hair. The final part of the treatment is the hair and scalp oil which you can either have applied at the end of the session or you can take away to apply later yourself, so that you are not leaving with oil in your hair. A hairdryer is available for you to dry your hair at the end of the session.

This is an amazing experience and the health of the head and scalp is vital for overall well-being. A nourished scalp supports strong, healthy hair growth and protects against dryness, irritation, and buildup. Beyond appearance, the scalp is rich in nerves and energy points—caring for it can reduce tension, boost circulation, and promote relaxation. Regular attention to this area helps maintain balance in both body and mind.
