A head spa studio at 37 Perriam Place in Mount Pisa, near Cromwell, offering Osaka-trained head spa treatments based on the YUME Head Spa method. The full service lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on hair length and thickness. It starts with a scalp analysis using a device that checks for sebum build-up, dead skin, redness and inflammation, then a shoulder and upper back massage. The treatment runs through rinsing, exfoliation, misting, a shampoo with bubble cloud and a shampoo massage, a water halo, a hot towel massage with pressure-point work, conditioning, and a blow dry, with a wellness tea afterwards. Wear something comfortable with a low neckline, and a spa towel can be provided. Bookings are made through the website, and vouchers can be bought in store or online.
Customers say the massage bed is comfortable, and that the therapist was careful with a back injury. One customer who bought a session as a gift for their husband says he was so relaxed he kept falling asleep. Another, on a first Japanese head spa, enjoyed the exfoliation most and says their hair and scalp felt great afterwards. Our pick in Cromwell for a head spa that is more than a haircut.
