Japanese Head Spa

A Japanese head spa treatment is a specialised and luxurious hair and scalp therapy that combines relaxation, scalp and hair care. 

Originating in Japan, this treatment focuses on improving scalp health, promoting hair growth, and providing a deeply relaxing experience.

Overall, a Japanese head spa treatment not only aims to improve hair and scalp health but also provides a holistic relaxation experience, leaving clients feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Japanese head spa with me is a luxurious scalp and hair treatment that combines elements of traditional Japanese wellness practices with modern techniques to promote relaxation, hair health, and scalp care. It involves a scalp cleanse, exfoliation, condition and massage. Gua Sha tools will be used to help reduce puffiness, enhance circulation and aid in improving aches, pains and muscle tightness. 24K gold collagen under eye masks and lip masks will also be used to enhance your collagen production (which can help with signs of ageing) and to add a real feel of luxury. 

This treatment is ideal to enhance overall well-being and is perfect for those who are looking to feel rejuvenated. 

Your treatment will involve:

Scalp analysis – to assess scalp condition (dryness, oiliness, dandruff, etc.).

Deep cleansing – using a sulphate, paraben free and vegan friendly shampoo to remove buildup and impurities.

Scalp massage – a massage across your scalp which is a central component to your head spa treatment, using rhythmic, pressure-point techniques to stimulate blood flow, relieve tension, and promote relaxation. By stimulating blood flow to the hair follicles, it promotes the delivery of nutrients and as a result potentially encouraging hair growth.

Hair treatment – I will use a nourishing conditioner or serums to hydrate and repair hair.

Steam  – Steam will be used to open pores and cuticles of the hair which will enhance the product absorption and calm the senses. 

Neck and shoulder massage – this will be included for full relaxation and to stimulate your lymphatic system. 

Drying of your hair - I will carefully dry your hair through gentle blow drying should you wish. 

My Japanese head spa can be described as a “facial for the scalp” and is perfect for stress-relief and the ability to improve hair growth and scalp health.

Benefits of the Japanese head spa treatment include:

Deep cleansing which can help to address dandruff, flakiness or excess oil production 

Hydrating products which can help scalp health for those who have dandruff, flakiness

The detoxifying effects are great for those who have excess oil production 

The soothing ingredients and gentle massage can alleviate itchy or irritated scalp. 

The treatment promotes blood circulation and nutrient delivery to the hair follicles which can support hair growth and aid in reducing hair loss. 

The relaxing therapeutic massage and aromatherapy element are perfect for those looking to reduce stress and achieve deep relaxation. 

The brief points of the history of Japanese head spa treatments: -

The concept of thorough cleansing and relaxation can be traced back to Japan’s onsen (hot springs) culture. These bathhouses have been integral to Japanese society for centuries, emphasising relaxation, purification, and the therapeutic benefits of hot water and natural minerals.

Over time, the head spa treatment evolved to sometimes incorporate advanced technology, such as scalp imaging devices for accurate diagnosis and sophisticated steaming machines for deeper product penetration. Additionally, high-quality products featuring natural ingredients and innovative formulations became a staple of the treatment.
