About This Salon
A few steps from the center of Thornwood, Zen Garden Spa offers head spa treatments alongside reflexology services. The salon occupies a bright, spacious unit with accessible facilities. Clients can choose between shorter scalp massages or extended head spa sessions that incorporate cleansing and relaxation techniques. The head spa treatment stands out for its methodical approach, beginning with a detailed consultation. A client mentions the therapist's steady, calm gestures during the massage portion, which focuses on pressure points and lymphatic drainage. Several visitors highlight the salon's cleanliness and professional atmosphere, with one reviewer specifically noting the effectiveness of their scalp treatment for tension relief. The spa remains open seven days a week, with slightly reduced hours on Sundays. Walk-ins appear welcome, though appointments can be made by phone for those seeking specific services or therapists. The salon's location on Columbus Avenue provides easy access from both the town center and nearby residential areas.

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.
