About This Salon
Set in a historic Boston brownstone, Japanese Hair Salon Defi caters to those seeking restorative scalp treatments. The salon specializes in steam therapy, utilizing the Prego Morbido Steam system to infuse moisture into damaged hair. This advanced technology employs superheated vapor to gently expand hair shafts, allowing for deeper chemical penetration without the harshness of traditional alkali processes. Exfoliation treatments complement the steam therapy, targeting flakiness and promoting scalp health. The salon's wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom ensure inclusivity. Judging by feedback, clients appreciate the careful attention given to their specific hair conditions. Defi's location on Newbury Street places it within easy reach of Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. Open Wednesday through Sunday, the salon maintains extended hours to accommodate busy schedules.

Booking Your Head Spa
Here are our tips to prepare for and fully enjoy your scalp treatment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
