A Japanese head spa is a specialized scalp and hair treatment that originated in Japan, blending relaxation with scalp health. It’s sometimes described as a “facial for the scalp” because it focuses on cleansing, stimulating, and nourishing the scalp to promote healthier hair growth, while also offering deep relaxation.

Here’s what it typically involves:

• Deep scalp cleansing – Removes oil buildup, product residue, and impurities using scalp exfoliants, or herbal treatments.

• Aromatherapy shampoo massage – A slow, therapeutic shampoo with essential oils or natural herbs, designed to relax the nervous system and improve blood circulation.

• Scalp massage – Gentle but firm massage techniques that stimulate hair follicles, relieve tension, and encourage better nutrient delivery to the scalp.

• Steam treatment – Warm steam opens pores and helps active ingredients penetrate more deeply.

• Hair treatment – Conditioning masks or herbal infusions are applied to hydrate, repair, and smooth hair strands.

• Additional relaxation elements – We offer premium add-ons, including neck, shoulder, and hand reflexology; paraffin or full arm massages; and hot stone massages for upper-body relaxation.

Benefits people look for:

• Healthier scalp (less dryness, flakiness, or oil imbalance)

• Shinier, softer, and stronger hair

• Stress relief and deep relaxation

• Improved blood circulation that may support hair growth

• Relief from headaches, eye strain, or tightness in the neck/shoulders

It’s not just cosmetic—Japanese head spa is rooted in holistic wellness, combining beauty, relaxation, and health.

Great question! When you come in for a Japanese head spa, the experience is usually very different from a regular salon shampoo—it’s more like a mix between a spa treatment and scalp therapy. Here’s what you can expect step by step:

1. Change Into Comfortable Attire & Remove Jewelry

• You may be asked to change into a robe or comfortable attire so you can fully relax.

• Removing earrings, necklaces, or other jewelry ensures nothing gets in the way during treatment.

2. Relaxing Environment & Lay Down

• You’ll be invited to lie down on a flat spa bed, designed for complete comfort during your session.

• The room is private or softly lit with calming music, creating a serene, spa-like atmosphere.

• From this point on, you can let go and enjoy the retreat experience.

3. Scalp & Hair Cleansing

• The experience begins with a slow shampoo using safe shampoo products to gently remove buildup and impurities.

• Unlike a quick salon shampoo, this step is thorough, soothing, and designed for scalp and hair health.

4. Scalp Massage

• Your therapist will ask how you feel most comfortable and adjust the massage pressure to your preference.

• The rhythmic, relaxing massage stimulates circulation, eases tension, and promotes deep relaxation.

• Many clients feel stress melt away—some even drift into a light nap.

5. Steam with Circular Water Spray Treatment

• Warm steam combined with a gentle circular water spray is applied to open pores and help treatments absorb more deeply.

• This method also enhances relaxation and provides a refreshing sensation to the scalp.

6. Hair Mask / Conditioning Treatment

• A nourishing treatment is applied to hydrate, repair, and smooth your hair.

7. Neck, Shoulder, and Arm Massage

• While your hair treatment sets in, you may also enjoy a gentle upper-body massage for deeper relaxation.

8. Rinse & Mini-Blow Drying

• After a thorough rinse, your hair will feel refreshed and silky.

• Some spas offer a mini-blow drying so you leave feeling polished without heavy styling.
