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.
✨ Overall: Expect about 60–90 minutes of total relaxation, scalp detox, and hair nourishment. Many people say it feels like a “head-to-toe reset,” even though it’s focused on the scalp.
