About This Salon

Open since 2019, Alter Ego Salon + Spa caters to those seeking targeted scalp therapies alongside traditional hair services. The Boise studio offers a suite of treatments designed to address specific scalp concerns, including detailed analysis, steam therapy, exfoliation, and light treatments. Clients with sensitive scalps or those looking to improve hair health will find options tailored to their needs. The recurring praise concerns the staff's expertise, particularly in scalp care. One reviewer highlights the scalp facial as "the ultimate self-care service," while another notes the noticeable improvement in skin texture after microneedling sessions. The environment is consistently described as clean and welcoming, with therapists who take time to explain procedures and products. Several clients mention feeling relaxed during appointments, attributing this to the careful attention of licensed massage therapists on staff.

Booking Your Head Spa

Here are our tips to prepare for and fully enjoy your scalp treatment.

1

Book in Advance

Book 1 to 2 weeks in advance. Weekend slots sell out fast. And some scalp care specialists are in high demand, especially at reputable Japanese head spa salons.

2

Prepare for Your Visit

If you have concerns like itchy scalp, product buildup, or hair loss (alopecia), mention them when booking to customize your session.

3

Day of Your Session

Don't wash your hair the day of your appointment and arrive with brushed hair. Skip makeup as some treatments include a facial mask or kobido massage.

4

After Your Session

Enjoy a calm activity to extend the relaxing effects of your head massage. Note: blow-drying is usually not included. Allow extra time for long hair.

5

At-Home Care

Avoid washing your hair for 24-48 hours to let the treatment absorb. For a healthy scalp between sessions, ask your specialist which shampoo and hair care products to use at home.

6

Maintain Your Results

For lasting scalp health, consider regular treatments. Many clients book their next head spa before leaving to maintain their scalp care routine.
