Head Spa FAQ

  • What is a Head Spa?

    A head spa is a luxurious, therapeutic ritual rooted in East Asian scalp care traditions. It combines scalp analysis, herbal treatments, steam therapy, and massage to support scalp health, nervous system balance, and overall wellbeing. At Rosewater, it’s a sensory journey—designed to help you slow down, exhale, and reconnect.

  • Who is Head Spa for?

    Head spa is for anyone experiencing scalp tension, buildup, dryness, oiliness, thinning hair, or simply a need to reset. It’s especially supportive for those navigating stress, hormonal changes, or those who desire a holistic alternative to traditional salon experiences.

  • What happens during a Head Spa?

    Each ritual begins with a detailed scalp analysis with a microscope. From there, you’ll receive customized treatments using clean, professional-grade botanicals and healing herbs. Expect steam therapy, deep cleansing scalp masks, pressure point massage, and calming aromatherapy—wrapped in warmth, stillness, and care.

  • Can I book for a group?

    While Rosewater is an intimate, single-bed head spa suite designed to serve one person at a time it is possible to share the experience with a second person. While one receives their service, the other may relax and settle into the cozy armchair, taking in the serene environment until it is their turn.

    *Please note, I am unable to accommodate groups larger than two.

  • Can a Head Spa be performed on someone with extensions?

    Unfortunately your beautiful investment could be damaged and matted. It would also be difficult for me to use my tools and hands to perform the service.

    Many extension clients like to take a week or 2 break before they have their extensions reinstalled. Consider coordinating your Head Spa appointment between move-ups.

  • Is this just for scalp health, or is it good for stress too?

    It’s deeply therapeutic for both. Many clients say they feel clearer, lighter, and more grounded afterward. The ritual activates the parasympathetic nervous system—your rest-and-restore state—helping to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and soften mental tension.

  • Are your products free from synthetic fragrances and toxic chemicals?

    Yes. I use clean, high-integrity lines like Oway and Innersense—each carefully chosen to support scalp health and whole-body wellbeing—without synthetic irritants or overpowering scents that are disruptive to your wellbeing.

  • How should I prepare for my Head Spa session?

    Arrive with dry hair—free of heavy styling products if possible. No jewelry. Eat light before hand, and avoid stimulants, like coffee, if possible. Aim to arrive with plenty of time to not be in a rush - so you can settle into the rhythm your session more easily.
