The Ultimate Guide to Japanese Head Spa Treatments
What Is a Japanese Head Spa?
A Japanese Head Spa is a luxurious scalp treatment that goes far beyond your standard shampoo and conditioner.
Rooted in ancient wellness practices from Japan, these spa-like experiences are designed to detox the scalp,
stimulate hair growth, and provide deep relaxation for the mind and body.
At Above All Grand Salon & Spa in Wexford, PA, weâre proud to offer authentic Japanese Head Spa Treatmentsâa rare find in the Pittsburgh area. Think of it as a facial for your scalp, using cutting-edge techniques and nourishing ingredients to restore balance and vitality.
If you’ve ever watched videos of hypnotic scalp massages, aromatherapy steam, and purifying oils being massaged into the rootsâyou already know the magic. But trust us, feeling it in person is on a whole other level.
Why Your Scalp Needs This
Your scalp is skin, and just like your face, it can suffer from neglect. Product buildup, stress, hard water,
oil imbalance, and pollution can cause a range of issues that affect not just your scalpâbut the health of your hair too.
Common scalp issues that benefit from head spa treatments:
- Dryness or flakiness
- Excess oil
- Itching or irritation
- Clogged follicles
- Sluggish or thinning hair growth
- Dull, lifeless hair
- Postpartum scalp sensitivity
- Tension headaches or stress
This treatment clears the root of the problemâliterallyâby deep-cleansing the scalp, soothing inflammation, and resetting the environment where your hair begins.
What Makes a Japanese Head Spa Different?
Unlike traditional scalp treatments, a Japanese Head Spa is rooted in ritual and results. This isnât just about looking goodâitâs about healing, resetting, and nourishing your scalp for long-term wellness.
Core components include:
- Custom Scalp Analysis
- Clarifying & Exfoliating Shampoo
- Aromatherapy Steam Therapy
- Lymphatic Drainage Massage
- Targeted Scalp Masks or Serums
- Full Hydration Reset with Moisture-Lock Finish
Each step is designed to be therapeutic, working synergistically to stimulate blood flow, relieve tension, and support healthy hair from the inside out.
The Treatment Process: Step-by-Step
Hereâs what you can expect from your session at Above All:
Scalp Analysis
Your treatment begins with a close-up look at your scalp to identify buildup, dryness, or oil imbalance using both visual assessment and tactile feedback.
Purifying Cleanse
A customized clarifying shampoo is applied to gently exfoliate and remove dirt, product residue, and dead skin cells.
Steam & Massage Therapy
Aromatic steam opens pores while our stylists perform a pressure-point scalp massage, targeting lymph nodes and muscles to release tension and improve circulation.
Custom Serums & Masks
Based on your scalpâs needs, we apply moisture-rich treatments to rebalance, hydrate, or detoxify the scalp.
Finishing Hydration & Styling
Your hair is rinsed with care, followed by a final rinse using cool water to seal in moisture and smooth the cuticle.
The result: touchably soft, fresh, and voluminous hair.
Who Should Try a Japanese Head Spa Treatment?
