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.
