Explore the Benefits of A JAPANESE Head SPA with AURAH: A Unique Experience for Couples, Friends, Family MEMBERS, and Individuals Seeking Personal Relaxation.


When you think of spa treatments, facials, and massages probably come to mind. But nestled in the serene world of wellness lies a lesser-known yet deeply rejuvenating experience: the Japanese Head Spa. A treatment that blends ancient healing techniques with modern scalp science, a head spa is not just about relaxation – it's a complete mind-body reset.




What is a Japanese Head Spa?


A Japanese Head Spa is a specialised scalp and hair treatment designed to detoxify the scalp, promote hair health, and relieve stress. Rooted in traditional Japanese wellness philosophy and infused with advanced trichology (the science of hair and scalp), this treatment goes far beyond your average shampoo.


It involves a combination of:


  • Deep cleansing
  • Scalp analysis* and exfoliation
  • Aromatherapy oils and serums
  • Pressure-point scalp massage
  • Tool for sensory touch
  • Sound therapy
  • Steam therapy or micro-mist
  • Gentle shampooing and conditioning**
  • Finishing with blow-dry and styling on request


The result? A refreshed scalp, healthier hair, and an incredibly relaxed mind.


*with the Luxury Plus and Deluxe Plus treatments. ** optional

The Benefits of a JAPANESE Head Spa AT AURAH


1. Deep Scalp Detox


Over time, sebum, dead skin, and product buildup can clog your hair follicles. The cleansing process in a head spa unclogs pores and restores scalp balance, creating the perfect environment for healthy hair growth.


2. Stress Reduction


The slow, rhythmic scalp massage stimulates pressure points and promotes blood circulation. This not only supports hair health but also releases tension stored in the head, neck, and shoulders. Many people report falling asleep during the session – it's that relaxing.


3. Hair Growth Stimulation


A healthier scalp naturally leads to better hair. Increased circulation boosts oxygen and nutrient delivery to hair follicles, potentially supporting faster and thicker hair growth.


4. Treats Common Scalp Issues


Whether it’s dandruff, oily scalp, itchiness, or dryness, head spa treatments often include customised products tailored to your scalp’s needs. Think of it as a facial, but for your scalp.


5. Holistic Mind-Body Experience


Japanese wellness philosophy emphasises harmony between the body and mind. A head spa isn’t just a treatment, it’s a sensory ritual that leaves you feeling balanced, calm, and deeply nurtured.

Absolutely. Whether you’re experiencing hair thinning, scalp irritation, or just looking for a moment of peace, a Japanese Head Spa offers something for everyone.
