Japanese Head Spa

A Japanese Head Spa treatment goes beyond a traditional scalp massage by combining targeted scalp techniques with gentle cleansing rituals, warm botanical oils and sensory therapies designed to restore balance and support scalp and hair health. While a standard massage focuses mainly on relaxation, our treatment blends mindful pressure work with detoxifying scrubs, soothing water therapy and nourishing products to create a more holistic, revitalising experience.

Yes, a Japanese Head Spa treatment is suitable for all hair types and most scalp conditions. We tailor each stage of the ritual to your individual needs, whether your scalp is dry, oily, sensitive or prone to product build-up. The combination of gentle exfoliation, nourishing oils and targeted massage supports a healthier scalp environment without causing irritation, making it a versatile option for a wide range of concerns.

There’s no special preparation needed for your Japanese Head Spa appointment. We simply recommend arriving with your hair free from heavy styling products so we can work directly on the scalp. If you’re booked for a combined ritual, such as a massage or facial, wearing comfortable clothing will help you relax more easily. If you have any sensitivities or concerns, you’re welcome to let us know beforehand so we can tailor the experience to you.

Your hair will be gently towel-dried after the Japanese Head Spa treatment, but we don’t offer a full blow-dry or styling as part of the ritual. The focus is on scalp and hair health, so we allow the nourishing products to settle naturally. You’re welcome to bring a hat or hair tie for afterwards if you prefer.

A Japanese Head Spa treatment is not suitable for guests with hair extensions in place. The ritual involves water therapy, scalp exfoliation and massage techniques that can put tension on bonds, tapes or wefts and may affect their longevity. For this reason, we recommend enjoying the treatment once extensions have been removed to ensure both your scalp and hair are cared for safely.

Yes, a Japanese Head Spa treatment can help improve concerns such as dryness, excess oil and mild dandruff. The combination of gentle exfoliation, targeted massage and nourishing oils supports a healthier scalp environment by removing build-up, balancing oil production and boosting hydration. While it isn’t a medical treatment, many clients find it a soothing and effective way to manage common scalp imbalances.

Yes, the treatment is generally suitable for guests with sensitive skin or allergies, but we always recommend letting us know about any concerns in advance. We can adjust the products and pressure used to ensure your comfort, and we’re happy to check ingredient lists or carry out a patch test if needed. Our aim is to create a soothing, gentle experience that feels safe for you.

Most guests enjoy the best results when they have a Japanese Head Spa treatment every four to six weeks. This allows us to maintain a healthy scalp environment, support regular exfoliation and keep hydration levels balanced. If you’re addressing specific concerns such as dryness or tension, we can recommend a personalised schedule to suit your needs.
