What To Expect

Step 1: Skin Analysis

When you arrive, Iryna will guide you through your intake form to better understand your skincare regimen and areas of need. Next, she uses a skin and scalp analyzing machine to take a deeper look at the condition of your skin. You'll also be able to see your skin condition on a high-resolution screen! The results from your discussion and Iryna’s deeper analysis will allow her to determine which treatments are right for you.

Step 2: Facial

During the treatments, you will be continually soothed with a weighted, heated blanket, essential oil diffuser, and relaxing ambient lights and sounds to ensure a calming environment. Iryna begins the treatment with a facial cleansing and exfoliation before applying any selected masks. After the massage and exfoliation, she also takes a deep look at your skin for any impurities or concerns which need attention.

Step 3: Head Spa

Your head spa will begin with an oil-based scalp massage, followed by a vitamin-based biotin treatment. Together, these processes stimulate hair growth and vitality. The uniquely soothing water tunnel is used throughout to refresh your scalp, stimulate blood flow, and clear blockage around follicles. Shampoos, conditioners, and serums are also used to clean, soften, and strengthen your hair and scalp.

When you visit Aqua Therapy Head Spa & Facial, be prepared for the ultimate in relaxation. Here are some items to keep in mind before you arrive:

The Head Spa Process

Each head spa package offers unique benefits to balance your skin and scalp’s vitality. Though the exact treatments vary based on your personal needs, our process will revive your hair and skin while providing a harmoniously tranquil overall experience.

Step 4: Upper-Body
Massage

To conclude your treatment, Iryna provides an upper body and neck massage to soften knots and tight muscles. Once done, she removes the remaining treatments from your face and scalp, allowing them plenty of time to moisturize and soothe your skin.

Step 5: Final Analysis

At the end of the treatments, Iryna will once again use the analyzing tool to evaluate your skin and scalp. While you’ll certainly feel a difference already, the proof is in how your skin has changed over just one treatment session! The skin analysis provided will help guide you through the best ways to care for your skin, scalp, and hair between treatments.

Step 6: Optional Blowout

Once your appointment is over, you can either dry your own hair or request a blowout with one of the stylists at Salt Hair Collective. Please note that the stylists’ services incur an extra cost and depends on their availability, so we ask that you request a blowout ahead of time.

What are head spas?

Soothing head spas are a traditional part of Japanese culture, with records of head massages integrated into traditional medicinal practices dating back to the early 1600s. Over time, technology, medicine, and treatments developed to turn a simple massage into a holistic wellness event. In recent years, head spas found their way to the United States as a popular luxury spa treatment – and it’s no wonder why!

Modern head spa treatments focus on natural ingredients, personalized treatments based on your skin type, and an overall calming atmosphere. Not only do the treatments enhance the appearance of your skin and hair, but they also provide an immediate feeling of improved wellness. Numerous benefits include stimulated blood circulation, reduced tension and stress, a healthier scalp, lymphatic drainage, balanced oil production, and increased skin hydration.
