Originating in Japan, head spa treatments include a scalp massage using pressure points to promote increased blood circulation to the scalp, along with deep conditioning, aromatherapy, hot towel/steam treatments and a luxurious waterfall shower.
The Head Spa session promotes hair growth, prevents hair loss, and maintains optimal scalp health by combining deep cleansing, nutrient-rich conditioning, and blood flow stimulation.
This holistic approach ensures that each follicle is nurtured, paving the way for stronger, more resilient hair growth.
During your head spa treatment, our specialist therapists will use essential oils, scalp scrubs, and deep conditioning masks to exfoliate the scalp, remove excess oils and debris, and hydrate the hair follicles. You can also expect a vigorous scalp massage to alleviate tension, increase stimulation, and relax the scalp muscles.
The Head Spa is suitable for all skin and hair types including if you have had cancer, are pregnant, have PCOS or are wanting to relieve anxiety. Ask our specialists today how we can help you.

Our Head Spa is carried out in the following steps:
1. Consultation: Microscopic scalp analysis, your chance to talk through any specific needs or wants and to discuss your optional extras with your therapist.
2. Signature Hair Blend: We begin the treatment by applying the chosen hair blend directly to your scalp and hair whilst your hair is dry. Hair bonds are repaired whilst scalp is stimulated.
3. Head Massage: The oil is then massaged into the scalp using traditional head massage techniques stimulating the follicles and blood flow.
4. Hair Spa Steam: A hood is then placed over the head where steam surrounds the scalp, opening up the hair follicles and allowing the signature hair blend to penetrate deep into the hair and pores to enhance the treatment benefits.
5. Additional treatments: This is a great time to take advantage of your therapist’s specialist treatments. Additional extras are listed alongside our therapist information. Speak to your therapist on the day.
6. Waterfall Shower: The waterfall shower is slowly raised over your hair and scalp to gently rinse the remaining oil through the hair.
7. Shampoo: Specifically chosen to suit the condition of your hair and scalp. This will gently cleanse / purify from root to ends.
8. Soap Massage: A shampoo scalp massage is effective in stimulating blood circulation, reducing stress and relaxing the body whilst deep cleansing the scalp and hair.
9. Hair and Scalp Mask: Tailored blend to nourish your hair. Your scalp is soothed and your hair is deeply hydrated while a healthy shine is restored.
10. Mask Massage: This not only promotes relaxation, but also stimulates blood circulation, making it easier for the nutrients from the mask to reach the scalp
At this stage, you then have the choice to finish your treatment by leaving the hair mask in (which you can rinse out at home up to 12 hours later) or you can continue with steps 11-13.
11. Oxygen Therapy: enhances hair follicle health, increases blood circulation and improves cellular metabolism. Concentrated oxygen stimulates hair growth, reduces inflammation and promotes a healthier scalp environment. It helps detoxify the scalp, removing impurities and promoting a balanced scalp pH which is essential for preventing hair loss and fostering strong, healthy hair growth. It also does all of this for the skin so double benefit!
12. Water Cleanse: Removing excess products leaving hair and scalp revitalised and residue free.
13. Hair Dry: Still lying down, we towel dry to remove any excess water before you leave. There is an option to add a blow dry on depending on which therapist you have booked with.

Yes, it is suitable for all hair types from 1a to 4c. This includes straight, wavy, curly and textured hair.
No, our Japanese Head Spa treatments are designed to promote hair health and scalp wellness without causing damage.
Absolutely, your scalp health is just as important. A bald head is more weathered so needs just as much TLC. The treatment is not all about hair!
It’s best to come with unwashed hair so we can analyse your scalp in its natural state.
Yes, depending on your scalp’s needs, the treatment can target specific issues such as dandruff, dryness, oiliness, or sensitivity.
Yes, although not in the first trimester. You will need to consult with your GP/consultant and Midwife prior to a thorough consultation with us as every pregnancy has different needs and complications. Your appointment will be set differently so you will be sat up for your head massage and only lay down for your scalp exfoliation and hair cleanse. If you would like the full head spa experience then it is definitely a treatment you can prebook to look forward to once baby has arrived.
All medical conditions must be declared on your consultation form and you need to take advice from your GP prior to booking.
As an award-winning salon, we take into account any previous chemical treatments, hair colour, skin pigmentation procedures and medical conditions to tailor the experience accordingly, minimising any potential interference. All of our products are safe, vegan and free of unnecessary ingredients which may cause a negative effect on your hair and skin.
Our treatments focus on scalp health and you would not receive the full benefit of the head spa if you have extensions in. You could however, tailor a package to suit you. We can still cleanse your hair, stimulate blood flow, promote hair growth, offer our extras and shorten the procedure time if needed. However, we would recommend having a head spa when your extensions are out, before being refitted, to get the most from this fantastic service.
Improved blood flow delivers more nutrients and oxygen to your hair follicles which is crucial for hair growth and strength. The procedure reduces stress and with that working alongside our essential oils which are tailored to your needs the Japanese Head Spa will encourage hair growth.
No, we only use high grade vegan products. We are all highly trained in our specialist field and as an advanced clinic built on hair, skin, and medical specialists, our focus is always what is best for our clients to get the results you deserve.
Yes, our specialists can customise treatments to address specific concerns or preferences, ensuring you get the best out of your experience.
You may experience increased relaxation, improved scalp condition, and a sense of rejuvenation. You may find that you sleep better too.
Oxygen therapy normalises the skin’s pH value and fills the scalp with beneficial nutrients needed to successfully prepare the “soil” for the new hair bulbs. Oxygen improves circulation, stimulates collagen production, and is essential for a healthy and active scalp. The treatment focuses on the scalp’s mineral supply.
It’s best to avoid applying heavy products immediately after the treatment to allow your scalp to fully absorb the benefits. Our specialists can provide guidance on post-treatment care. If you have had a facial included in your treatment, then we recommend going 24 hours makeup free but this is down to your own choice.
It depends on your scalp condition and personal preferences. You may want to treat yourself twice a year or once every 4-6 weeks is recommended for maintenance.
Yes, we do. Feel free to pop in and see us – or click below to buy online.
