About This Salon

Across from the historic London Terrace Gardens, The Spa at Hotel Chelsea occupies the penthouse level of its namesake hotel. Open daily from 9 AM to 8 PM, the spa welcomes both hotel guests and locals seeking respite.

The spa's wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom ensure inclusivity. Word of mouth emphasizes the meticulous attention to detail during consultations. The treatment rooms feature natural light and garden terrace views, creating a serene backdrop for services. Several visitors have commented on the seamless integration of technology and traditional methods, particularly in the light therapy sessions.

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.
