Discover the viral treatment that is redefining hair health and self-care. At Empress Skin, we are proud to bring the authentic Japanese Head Spa experience to our Birmingham clinic. This luxurious ritual is more than just a wash, it is a facial for your scalp designed to deep clean, detoxify, and rejuvenate your hair from the roots up. It’s the ideal way to switch off, de-stress, and treat your hair to the fresh start it needs.
What is a Japanese Head Spa? The Secret to Revitalised Hair & Scalp
A Japanese Head Spa is a holistic wellness treatment that combines scalp health with deep relaxation. Originating in Japan, where scalp care is considered as vital as skincare, this method focuses on resetting the scalp environment.
​
Over time, our scalps accumulate product buildup, dead skin cells, and excess oil that regular shampooing just cannot remove. This congestion can block hair follicles, leading to thinning hair, slow growth, and scalp irritation. At Empress Skin, our Japanese Head Spa treatment uses specialized techniques, steam therapy, and premium products to deep cleanse the pores, improve blood circulation, and restore balance. The result is lightweight, voluminous hair and a deeply calmed mind.

​The Ritual: A Multi-Step Timeline to Total Relaxation
1
Consultation & Deep Detox
We begin with a detailed analysis of your scalp to select the perfect products for your skin type. Using specialized cleansers, gentle exfoliation, and warm steam therapy, we open the pores to lift away impurities, sebum, and stubborn product buildup that regular washing cannot remove.
2
Therapeutic Massage & Stimulation
Once the scalp is perfectly prepped, we perform a rigorous yet relaxing head massage. This essential step stimulates blood circulation to the hair follicles, promoting healthy growth, while melting away tension, stress headaches, and stiffness in the neck and shoulders.
3
Nourish, Seal & Finish
To complete the ritual, we apply a premium mask tailored to your hair texture to deeply hydrate and seal the cuticles for a mirror-like shine. We finish with a refreshing rinse and a light blow-dry, leaving your scalp feeling breathable and your hair bouncing with vitality.
Is it Right for You?
Unlocking the Benefits of Scalp Therapy
This restorative treatment is an excellent choice for almost anyone, whether you are looking to address specific hair concerns or simply need to decompress. It is particularly effective for those battling persistent scalp issues such as dryness, excess oil, or dandruff, as well as individuals experiencing hair thinning who want to boost circulation to the follicles. If your routine involves frequent use of dry shampoo or styling products, this deep detox effectively removes the stubborn buildup that regular washing misses. Beyond hair health, it is a powerful remedy for stress; if you suffer from tension headaches, migraines, or neck stiffness, the therapeutic massage techniques provide a deeply calming escape from the pressures of daily life.

Maximising Your Results: Preparation and Aftercare Essentials
To get the best results from your session at Empress Skin, please follow these simple guidelines:
​
Before your treatment:
​
-
Do not wash your hair immediately before. It is best to arrive with lived-in hair (1-2 days unwashed) so we can accurately assess your natural oil levels and scalp condition.
-
Remove extensions. Please ensure any clip-ins, tapes, or sew-in extensions are removed prior to your appointment to allow us full access to the scalp.
​
Aftercare for best results:
​
-
Avoid washing for 24 hours. Let the nourishing ingredients sit and work their magic on your scalp.
-
Use gentle products. When you do wash your hair, use sulphate-free or gentle shampoos to maintain the pH balance of your newly detoxed scalp.
-
Stay hydrated. As with any massage-based therapy, drinking water helps flush out toxins released during the treatment.
