What is a headspa?
Head spa treatments are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to enhance the health of both the scalp and hair. By using specialized products to detoxify the scalp and providing a deep tissue massage, the treatment promotes circulation and stimulates the scalp. It can be compared to a facial for the scalp, providing a refreshing and rejuvenating experience.

How can a head spa benefit me?
Head spas are indeed essential for maintaining healthy hair growth and preventing issues such as dandruff and hair loss. They accomplish this by promoting proper blood circulation, which is crucial for strong and thriving hair. Additionally, these treatments alleviate pressure and invigorate the scalp, creating an environment that is conducive to healthy hair growth. Moreover, head spa treatments prevent the accumulation of excess sebum, ensuring that the scalp remains balanced and comfortable.

I have hair extensions. Can I receive head spa treatment?
I have hair extensions. Can I receive head spa treatment?
It's essential for us to have proper access to the scalp during our services. Unfortunately, we cannot perform our services on clients who have extensions, braids, or sew-ins as these hair extensions obstruct access to the scalp and pores. If you're interested in our services but have extensions, we recommend removing them before scheduling an appointment with us. This way, we can provide you with the best possible experience and ensure that your scalp is getting the attention it deserves.
Is it safe for my lash extensions?
Is it safe for my lash extensions?
Due to the service being heavily water based, we recommend that you attend your appointment without lash extensions.
I have an event after my head spa appointment, is it okay to wear make up?
I have an event after my head spa appointment, is it okay to wear make up?
Please attend your appointment make up & lash free. If you are heading out after your appointment, please feel free to use one of our free styling stations to apply your makeup prior to leaving the salon. Our head spa service also does not include a blowdry/style finish so we recommend booking our blowdry/straightening add-on at the time of booking or we may not be able to accommodate for this service.
Will the head spa affect my hair colour/keratin?
Will the head spa affect my hair colour/keratin?
It's definitely reassuring to know that the ingredients used in the Head Spa treatments are safe for all types of treated hair.
However, it's essential to take note that if you've recently had any chemical or colour services done before your appointment, there is a possibility that your colour or keratin smoothing treatment may lift during the detoxing process. It's advisable to wait for at least a week after any hair treatment before scheduling a Head Spa session.
On the other hand, if you're concerned about your colour or keratin service, it's highly recommended to have your Head Spa session 7-14 days prior your next colour or keratin smoothing appointment to reduce the time before your next refresh colour/keratin appointment.
It's best to wait for at least seven days after a Head Spa session before doing any chemical services to avoid applying chemicals to a freshly cleaned scalp. It is great to know that head spa services can improve your chemical services since your hair shaft will be detoxed and free of any build-up, allowing your upcoming treatments to perform at their best.
Can I record myself during the service?
Can I record myself during the service?
Once you're in the Head Spa room, we kindly ask that you refrain from using your cell phone during your appointment. We request that you set your phone to silent mode and place it aside before we begin the treatment. However, if you wish to record the treatment for social media purposes, please let your therapist know. We're more than happy to facilitate this for you, and we want you to have a memorable experience during your Head Spa session. Don't forget to tag us on social media if you do decide to share your experience! We'd love to see your feedback and how we can improve our services to meet your needs better.

If you have any underlying problems or concerns about your scalp or hair, we strongly recommend speaking to your doctor before scheduling an appointment with us.

We're committed to providing our clients with the best possible care and ensuring that they have all the resources they need to keep their scalp and hair healthy. So, if you have any doubts or concerns about your scalp or hair health, please do not hesitate to seek medical advice before booking an appointment with us.
