In this article, we will explain the overview of head spa, the procedure, the effects, and more.
I’ve heard it’s good for your hair, but what exactly is a head spa?
You may have seen head spa on salon websites or in magazines. You may have heard that it is good for your hair, but do you know what kind of treatment it actually is?
There are two main types of head spa!
Head spas can be broadly divided into two types: dry head spas received at relaxation salons, and wet hair head spas received at beauty salons
The former is often performed at specialized head spa stores and is focused on providing a relaxing effect.
The latter not only provides a relaxing effect but also has beauty benefits for the scalp and hair.
In this article, we will mainly explain the wet hair head spas received at beauty salons!
What are the benefits of a head spa at a beauty salon?
First, we will explain the effects of head spa treatments you can receive at a beauty salon, from the perspective of hair care and relaxation!
Hair care and scalp care effects
The biggest benefit of a head spa at a beauty salon is that it cleanses your pores, helping to keep your scalp clean.
To begin with, a head spa, which involves wetting and shampooing your hair, can only be done
by someone with a nationally qualified cosmetology license. By having a head spa treatment by a professional cosmetologist using a special cleansing agent, you can thoroughly remove dirt from your pores!
There are many more benefits to getting rid of dirt properly.
For example, by removing dirt that has clogged your pores, your scalp environment improves, and scalp problems such as sticky hair and odor are more likely to improve.
A head spa thoroughly massages the scalp, improving blood circulation and having a positive effect on new hair.
Also, by tightening the pores that have been cleansed, the roots of your hair will stand up properly, which also has the effect of adding volume to your hair!
Relaxing effect
During a head spa, your head will be massaged while you are shampooed, stimulating your acupressure points and muscles.
This will help reduce eye strain, which can be caused by looking at your smartphone or PC for too long.
In addition to the scalp, your neck and shoulders will often also be massaged, so you will definitely feel refreshed after the treatment!
Also, some types of head spa use items with a relaxing effect, such as aromatherapy. It relaxes both the body and mind, and many customers fall asleep during the treatment. In this way, head spa at a beauty salon can incorporate both hair care effects and relaxation effects.
Types of head spa treatments by type of treatment
Head spa treatments available at beauty salons can be further divided into four types based on the difference in the treatment products used.
Since the type of treatment will vary depending on your goals and concerns, it’s best to order the treatment method that best suits you
Here we’ll explain the characteristics of each type!
Carbonated Head Spa
Carbonated head spa removes dirt with hot water and bubbles containing high concentrations of carbon dioxide.
The carbonic acid ingredients penetrate the scalp, promoting blood circulation and improving the scalp environment.
There are relatively many salons that offer this treatment, and the treatment time is short, so it is especially recommended for beginners!
It is also ideal for those who have stiff scalps.
Oil Head Spa
Oil head spa uses a special oil to massage and lift away dirt.
You may also be able to choose your favorite aroma oil, which can have a relaxing effect.
The oil’s nutrients also reach the pores, helping to promote moisturized, healthy hair. It is
especially recommended for those who are troubled by dry scalp and hair !
Cream Head Spa
Cream Head Spa uses a special cream to massage your scalp and take care of your hair.
It is characterized by the fact that it uses cream to thoroughly treat your hair.
Many of the creams have a nice scent,
making it a popular menu item among women. It is especially recommended for those who want to thoroughly moisturize their scalp and hair!
Cleansing Head Spa
A cleansing head spa that focuses on improving clogged pores using cleansing agents.
By massaging the scalp and removing dirt from pores that cannot be removed by shampoo alone, you can improve the health of your hair. Perfect
for those who want to thoroughly refresh themselves or who are concerned about the smell of their scalp!
Three things you should know before you actually get in
As you learn about the effects and types, you will surely feel more interested in trying it. So, finally, here are three points you should know before actually receiving a head spa!
Head spa price
The price of a head spa varies widely, from about 100 to 400 $, depending on the type and duration of the treatment.
However, hair salons often offer it as an add-on to cuts and coloring, so the general price is around 100 to 150$ for a 60-minute treatment.
Our Head Spa Procedure
The actual treatment is carried out in six steps.
Step 1: Counseling
The first step is counseling.
We will ask about the current health condition of your scalp and hair, and check it with special tools.
At this time, it is also important to share information about your daily lifestyle with the hairdresser.
This is because through this counseling, the hairdresser will consider the contents of the treatment.
This is where you can discuss scalp problems and share your usual shampooing method.
Step 2: Cleansing
Next, we will cleanse the scalp to remove dirt.
It is difficult to remove all dirt such as sebum and styling products with just daily shampooing.
We will remove dirt in the pores that cannot be removed normally by massaging with a cleansing agent and using hot steam to open the pores.
Step 3: Shampoo
After cleansing, we will shampoo with plenty of foam to thoroughly remove dirt.
Step 4: Massage
Depending on the condition of the scalp found in the counseling, we will massage the scalp using beauty serum or oil.
By stimulating the scalp to promote blood circulation and by having the acupressure points on the head massaged you can feel an indescribable comfort!
Step 5: Apply treatment and beauty serum
The treatment is applied after thoroughly removing dirt from the scalp and hair.
In addition, beauty serum is used to deliver nutrients to the hair roots and tighten the scalp.
This will bring the scalp and hair closer to a healthier state.
Step 6: Dry the hair and consult again
The hair is dried and the condition of the scalp is checked again.
Compared to before the surgery, you should be able to see that the dirt in the pores has been removed and the color of the scalp has changed from a reddish color to a healthy pale color! In addition, the hairdresser may explain how often to use the spa and how to care for your scalp at home according to the client.
How often should I take it?
The ideal frequency for a head spa is once a month.
The skin, including the scalp, regenerates in about 28 days, so by getting a head spa once a month, you can maintain a healthy scalp!
However, the appropriate frequency will vary depending on your scalp concerns and the type of head spa.
Be sure to discuss this with your hairdresser during your consultation.

If you can relieve your fatigue with a head spa and improve the condition of your hair and scalp, you will surely be able to work hard the next day!
