A scalp treatment rooted in Japanese tradition that combines deep cleansing, oil application, and slow, deliberate massage. It is equal parts hair treatment and stress relief, and most people find it one of the most relaxing things they have ever had done.
Book Your Japanese Head Spa Experience
The treatment removes product buildup and dead skin from the scalp, then feeds it with oils and nutrients. This improves the environment your hair is growing from.
The pressure point work on the head and neck triggers a real drop in tension. It is not just pleasant. Most people come out feeling noticeably calmer than when they went in.
Better circulation and deep conditioning mean your hair feels softer and looks shinier. The effects are most noticeable a day or two after, once the oils have fully absorbed.
This is not a quick head rub at the end of a haircut. It is a full treatment based on traditional Japanese techniques, and the experience is unlike most other salon services.
We start by checking your scalp and talking through any concerns. Then warm oils are worked into your scalp and hair, followed by a slow, rhythmic massage using pressure points on the head, neck, and shoulders. It is very methodical and quite different from a standard head massage. Most people go very quiet or drift off completely. We use steam and warm towels to open the pores and help the oils absorb properly. The whole thing is done at a deliberately slow pace, and the room is kept calm and quiet throughout. People often say the effects last for days afterwards, both in terms of how their hair feels and their general state of mind.
The pressure point work around the temples, base of the skull, and neck can ease tension headaches and the stiffness that comes from screen time and desk work.
The level of relaxation from a head spa session often carries through to bedtime. A lot of people report sleeping much better the night after a treatment.
There is a noticeable mental clarity that comes after a session. The combination of physical release and forced stillness gives your brain a genuine reset.
It works on multiple levels at once: scalp health, muscle tension, mental state. That is why people tend to rebook. It covers a lot of ground in one session.

"Had hot stones massage today – I’d seen the offer online but we had been talking about massage in classes and it’s been far too long since I had one myself and one of my ladies visited a few weeks ago and was raving about it so I booked and it was just what I needed – thank you Kim. So nice to have one on a Saturday after a busy week. Kim was welcoming, lovely set up and enjoyable 60 minutes of self care ????????"
