What are the benefits of a Head Spa Treatment?
Ease Headaches, Tension and Stress
The soothing massage techniques used in a head spa aim reduce stress and tension. Which will not only improve your mood but also enhances overall mental wellbeing.
Improved Blood Circulation and Hair Growth
Studies have shown that a clean scalp, rid of buildup and otherwise healthy scalp, improves blood circulation, which can promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. Better circulation will also ensure essential nutrients reach the hair follicles, making hair thicker and stronger.
Steaming your hair and scalp as part of your regular routine can help to unclog pores and encourage healthy hair growth. Think of it like a deep clean for your scalp, removing dead skin cells and product build-up. It also allows toxins from the scalp to be released and helps increase collagen production and blood flow to the scalp.
Cleanses, Exfoliates and Detoxification
A head spa helps detoxify the scalp by removing impurities and buildup. Which will promote a healthier environment for hair growth and can alleviate scalp conditions such as flaking of the scalp. Some individuals produce sticky sebum, a natural wax produced by glands at the base of each hair shaft, which can be thick and sticky, leading to blocked pores. This, combined with a flaky scalp, can create an environment ripe for irritation and conditions like dandruff.
Steam is not only used target scalp care and those with problematic scalps, such as; itchiness, flakes, too much oil or too dry, everyone can benefit from some extra attention to their scalp, and steaming is just one of the ways to get it.
Enhanced Hair Health and Strengthening of the Hair Follicles
Regular head spa treatments can detect any product build up, hair, or scalp issues, leading to stronger, shinier, and more resilient hair. The nourishing products used in the treatment help repair damaged hair and prevent breakage. By keeping your scalp in top condition, you can prevent issues like dandruff, itching, and excess oiliness, which can all contribute to hair loss and thinning.
Regular treatments at a Japanese head spa can also help to improve the texture and appearance of your hair. By nourishing the scalp and hydrating the hair follicles, you’ll notice that your locks are shinier, smoother, and more manageable.

The relaxation induced by a head spa can improve sleep quality. Many people find that they sleep more deeply and wake up feeling more refreshed after a treatment.

Can I have a Japanese Headspa if I’m pregnant?
As long as you are not n first trimester. (If history of miscarriage / complications, please wait longer. Always consult with Midwife / GP first)
Our Head Spa uses gentle ingredients throughout; therefore, it is completely safe for pregnant ladies. However, some guests may be concerned about being exposed to certain herbs and oils while they are expecting. Therefore, it would be best to consult your midwife / doctor to see if there is anything you should avoid.
Another concern would be that we require clients to lay completely flat on your back during the whole duration of the service. If this is something you are unable to do, then it may be best to wait until after the delivery before trying the head spa.
How much does it cost?
Japanese Headspa - £95
How often is a Japanese Headspa Treatment recommended?
We recommend indulging in a Headspa treatment once a month. As the skin, including the scalp, undergoes a renewal cycle of approximately 28 days, scheduling a monthly Headspa appointment can effectively contribute to maintaining a healthy scalp.
Does it include a blow dry?
You have the choice to finish your treatment by leaving the hair mask on in which you can rinse out at home up to 12 hours later, which we personally recommend leaving in the deep conditioning treatment and plaiting the hair to allow the full benefits of the headspa, rather than indulging your hair into full luxury, to then apply heat damage. However we do offer a blast dry for an extra £25.
