About This Salon
Down the street from Lexington's bustling downtown, The Spa at Griffin Gate offers a respite with its Japanese head spa services. The buzz centers on their steam treatments, where essential oils and soft gestures aim to dissolve tension in the scalp and shoulders. Exfoliation is part of the ritual, preparing the scalp for deeper relaxation. The space includes private steam rooms and a co-ed lounge with complimentary tea. Accessibility is considered, with wheelchair-friendly entrances and parking. Open six days a week, the spa maintains consistent hours, closing only on Sundays. The setting is designed for quiet, with muted colors and natural textures throughout.

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.
