This isn’t only about your scalp (though it’ll thank you). It’s about slowing down, being cared for, and giving your roots (literal and energetic) the attention they’ve been asking for.
Scalp issues like dryness, buildup, and thinning often fly under the radar until they become something you can’t ignore. My head spa treatments combine deep cleansing, rejuvenating oil massage, and nutrient-rich care to restore balance and support healthy growth, all while helping your body exhale and reset.
It’s where hair health meets nervous system care. And it’s one of the most grounding hours you can give yourself.
The concept of massaging and caring for the head and scalp dates back thousands of years and across cultures, from ancient Egypt to China to India.
My salon is most closely inspired by what the Japanese began formally calling "head spas" in the late 20th century: a specialized therapeutic practice that blends tradition and modern techniques.
At their core, the head spa experience is a deeply relaxing and sensory-rich way to care for yourself. I combine deep cleansing, aromatherapy, steam, and massage for a nurturing experience that brings profound stress relief and healthier hair from the root.
Because here's the truth: your scalp is your skin. And just like your face and body, it benefits from regular care to stay balanced and thriving. Scalp treatments help reduce buildup, dryness, excess oil, and irritation, while also supporting better blood flow and, over time, healthier, stronger hair growth.
Designed to support hair growth, soothe irritation, and restore balance, all while helping you relax.
Whether you're noticing dryness, buildup, or hair shedding — or you just want a chance to fully relax and support your hair at the root — scalp care is a nourishing way to reconnect with yourself.
These head spa treatments gently address common scalp concerns like irritation, dandruff, flakiness, oil imbalance, or thinning. But you don't need to be dealing with a specific issue to benefit. Sometimes the best reason is simply because it feels really, really good.
Every scalp treatment session comes with before and after microscope assessments so I can customize your treatment to fit your needs, and for you to see how magical the results can be with a little scalp love.

That said, it’s perfect if you're dealing with dryness, shedding, or hair thinning. Another great reason: you’d love some extra time to exhale. These sessions are designed to nourish your scalp and your nervous system.
