About This Salon
Across from the bustling streets of New York City, Zen Massage & Head Spa 86 offers a dedicated space for head spa treatments. Clients are greeted by friendly staff in a clean, modern environment with soothing background music. The head spa experience includes a scalp analysis followed by a thorough cleansing using specialized shampoos, such as a mint cooling formula or a warming ginger herbal blend. A nourishing hair mask is then applied, accompanied by a gentle scalp and shoulder massage that many find deeply relaxing. The treatment continues with a brief steam session for the hair, followed by a blow-dry that leaves hair feeling soft and refreshed. A detail often mentioned: the thoughtful addition of a facial mask, even when not expected, enhances the overall experience. The salon’s extended hours make it convenient for those seeking a moment of relaxation after a long day.

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.
