Here are some commonly asked questions about head spas:

What is a head spa?

A head spa is a treatment primarily focused on the scalp and is designed to cleanse, stimulate, and nourish the scalp and hair follicles. A headspa refers to a scalp treatment designed to boost both your scalp’s well-being and your hair’s overall health. This rejuvenating experience involves using specialized products to detoxify your scalp. Through a soothing deep tissue massage, the treatment encourages circulation and stimulates your scalp. It’s akin to treating your scalp to a facial – a refreshing indulgence for your head!

What are the benefits of a head spa?

Benefits may include improved blood circulation, removal of product buildup, reduced dandruff, strengthened hair follicles, relaxation, and stress relief

Am I a good candidate for a headspa treatment?

Anyone can benefit from a headspa experience. This treatment offers an opportunity to unwind, enjoy a soothing massage, and simply relax. If you happen to have a dry, itchy, or oily scalp, issues with dandruff, build-up from hair products, clogged follicles, irritated skin, thin hair, hair loss, or even if you are dealing with stress, you are especially encouraged to give it a try. It’s a rejuvenating option for a variety of scalp and hair concerns.

How can pH Headspa benefit me?

Headspas play a crucial role in fostering healthy hair growth and preventing issues like dandruff and hair loss. They achieve this by promoting proper blood circulation, which is vital for strong and thriving hair. Additionally, these relaxing treatments effectively alleviate pressure and invigorate the scalp, creating a conducive environment for healthy hair. Furthermore, headspa treatments help prevent the accumulation of excess sebum, ensuring your scalp remains balanced and comfortable.

How often should I get a head spa?

The frequency depends on individual needs, but many recommend once a month for optimal scalp health.

Is a head spa treatment good for hair growth?

While a head spa can improve blood circulation and remove buildup, which may promote a healthier environment for hair growth, there’s no definitive evidence that it directly causes hair to grow faster or thicker.

How long does a head spa treatment take?

Typically, treatments can range from 60minutes to an 120 min depending on the package you decide.

Will it help with dandruff or other scalp conditions?

Some treatments can help alleviate dandruff or other conditions by exfoliating and deeply cleansing the scalp, but those with severe issues should consult a dermatologist.

Is it the same as a hair spa?

Not necessarily. While both treatments focus on hair health, a hair spa typically emphasizes the treatment of the hair strands themselves, while a head spa focuses primarily on the scalp.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

To prepare for your appointment, we kindly recommend that you come in with comfortable clothing on and with your hair that has been brushed and detangled to the best of your ability,
While we do detangle and brush your hair before our head spa treatment, excessively tangled and knotty hair may result in a deduction time from your head spa session, so it’s highly recommended brush your hair before coming in.

We also kindly recommend that you wear minimal/no jewelry during your session.

Please do not wash hair before coming to Appointment.

What clothing should I wear for my appointment?

Can I visit with hair extensions / braids / dreadlocks?

HAIR TYPE 3A TO 4C COMPLEX ARE WELCOME and BALD as well.

Due to the nature of our treatment, head spa treatments are best suited for hair that can be brushed through thoroughly.

The ingredients we use in our services are all of high quality and a professional range, these are safe for all types of hair.
