Frequently Asked Questions

General Information

  • A head spa is a specialized treatment focusing on the scalp, hair, and mind. It combines various techniques, including scalp massages, aromatherapy, and specialized hair treatments, to promote relaxation, improve scalp health, and enhance hair quality. Think of it as a facial for your scalp!

  • A scalp analysis is a detailed examination of your scalp's condition. During the analysis, we use a magnifying device to closely inspect your scalp. This process helps identify issues like dryness, oiliness, dandruff, sensitivity, and hair thinning. The information gathered during the scalp analysis allows us to customize treatments specifically tailored to your scalp's needs, ensuring optimal results and improved scalp health.

  • Head spa treatments offer numerous benefits, such as stress relief, improved blood circulation, dandruff reduction, healthier scalp, stronger and shinier hair, and overall relaxation.

  • Our services range from 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the type of treatment chosen. The addition of service enhancements will add time to your service. See our services page for more details.

  • The effects of head spa treatments can vary from person to person due to differences in scalp condition and hair quality. Typically, you may notice some basic benefits, such as improved scalp cleanliness and a sense of relaxation, after just one session. However, for more significant results, like deep nourishment, repair, or improvement in hair growth or quality, it often takes several consecutive treatments. Regular sessions are recommended to achieve and maintain optimal results.

  • Similar to dieting and exercise, hair growth and scalp health are long-term processes that require consistent care. Generally, you will begin to see noticeable improvements after several consecutive treatments. The exact number of sessions needed varies based on the current health of your scalp and your hair's growth cycle. Regular treatments are essential for achieving and maintaining optimal scalp and hair health.

  • For optimal results, we recommend getting a head spa treatment every month. However, this can vary based on individual needs and hair/scalp conditions.

    Certain treatments, such as our hair loss treatments require a weekly or monthly treatment.

  • Just like our face’s skin, the scalp and hair require regular care and maintenance. A regular head spa treatment helps to remove debris and excess oils from the scalp, nourish the scalp and hair roots, and provide essential nutrients for healthy hair growth. By maintaining this routine, you will notice a healthier scalp and shinier, stronger hair over time.

  • There are several reasons why this might happen. Sometimes, the detoxification process can temporarily bring impurities to the surface, similar to breakouts after a facial, making your scalp appear worse before it gets better. It could also be due to sensitivity or an allergic reaction to certain ingredients in the products used. Increased circulation from the massage can cause temporary redness or sensitivity. Additionally, not following aftercare instructions, such as avoiding harsh shampoos, can negatively impact your scalp. Lastly, underlying scalp conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or seborrheic dermatitis might flare up after treatment. We will re-evaluate your scalp condition and customize a more suitable treatment plan for you at your next appointment. We also recommend paying close attention to your daily scalp care routine to achieve better results.

Bookings and Appointments

  • It’s best to reach out to us by text or phone if yo’d like to book for a group.

  • While we do accept walk-ins, we highly recommend booking an appointment in advance to ensure availability and to minimize waiting time.

  • We require at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows will incur a fee equal to 50% of your total service price.

Before and After the Treatment

  • This is completely up to you!

    If you do decide to shampoo before your appointment, we recommend that you do so 24 hours before, so we can get a better sense for what type of scalp you have. Shampooing 24 hours before your appointment will allow your scalp's sebaceous glands to do their usual thing for a day before we analyze it, so we can get a true sense for their level of activity. It won't be a problem if you shampoo on the day off, though.

    If you haven't shampooed for multiple days before your appointment, that's not an issue either. We'll combine the information you give us regarding the last time you shampooed with the data we're seeing in our scalp computer to diagnose your scalp and provide a personalized treatment plan for you.

    In essence, come as you are!

  • Since we'll be massaging your head and parts of your face, it's best if you avoid putting product in your hair and remove any jewelry from your face, ears, and neck. It's not a problem, though, if you can't. We'll have somewhere for you to put your things and can still work on you if you have product in your hair.

  • We want you to be as comfortable as possible during your service, so wear loose clothing. Additionally, minimal to no makeup is encouraged.

  • While we happily service clients with extensions, we are not responsible for extensions that come loose or are damaged during the service. We recognize that extensions are expensive and delicate and will be as careful as possible in handling them. However, we simply cannot assume responsibility if they come out or are damaged as a result of a service provided to you.

    We strongly recommend that clients with hair extensions schedule our services when their extensions are out or in between maintenance appointments to provide a better experience and prevent potential issues from occurring.

    Please Note: We may omit certain aspects of any head spa service if you have hair extensions on.

  • During your treatment, your Scalp Specialist will give you a personalized recommendation for shampoo frequency. It’s best to follow that recommendation.
