What is a Japanese head spa — and why it feels so good

A Japanese head spa is a slow, deliberate ritual for the scalp. Where a regular hair wash takes minutes, a head spa takes time: it begins with a look at the scalp, continues with pressure-point massage and warm water therapy, and ends with nourishing care chosen for your hair.

What happens during a head spa

• Scalp analysis — to choose the right products for dryness, oiliness or sensitivity.
• Pressure-point massage — to release tension in the scalp, neck and shoulders.
• Warm water therapy — a gentle, steady flow that helps you let go.
• Aromatherapy and nourishing treatment for the hair.

Who is it for?

Anyone who carries stress in the head and shoulders, struggles with a dry or itchy scalp, or simply wants an hour of real rest. Many guests fall asleep.

At Shizen

Our Zen Head Spa can be taken on its own, with a Japanese Rice Milk Facial (Zen Glow), or as part of the Shizen Supreme Wellness Ritual with a full aroma massage.
