A Japanese Head Spa is a luxurious and therapeutic treatment designed to rejuvenate both the scalp and mind. Dive into our signature Japanese Head Spa treatment focusing on stimulating the hair follicles and gently treating issues with scalp and hair.
Only organic products and carefully selected techniques are designed and used to fit scalp and hair concerns. We work exclusively with organic Oway products which are derived from plants farmed using the renowned method of biodynamics.
Plants grow chemical-free and are rich in active ingredients and nutrients.
The quest for luscious, healthy hair begins at the scalp, and this is where the Japanese Head Spa truly excels. Focusing on the root of all hair health, these treatments are designed to beautify and fortify the scalp and hair from within. The Japanese Head Spa treatment promotes hair growth, prevents hair loss, and maintains optimal scalp health by combining deep cleansing, nutrient-rich conditioning, and blood flow stimulation. This holistic approach ensures that each follicle is nurtured, paving the way for stronger, more resilient hair growth.
Beyond the physical benefits to hair and scalp, the Japanese Head Spa serves as an oasis of tranquillity, offering profound mental and physical relaxation.
This bespoke journey begins with a thorough scalp analysis, a foundational step that allows our specialists to assess the health of your scalp and hair and identify specific needs, ranging from hydration to repair or detoxification. This careful diagnostic approach ensures that the treatment addresses aesthetic desires and promotes long-term scalp health and hair vitality.
The treatment process begins with a soothing scalp massage that targets pressure points, promoting relaxation and reducing muscle stiffness.
Depending on specific of hair needs we may use ultra-violet and high-frequency brush to stimulate the hair follicles. The treatment boosts blood supply to the hair follicles, drawing nutrients to the roots, and encouraging hair growth.The high-frequency microcurrents produced by the machine stimulate the scalp and activate the sebaceous glands. These glands produce sebum, a natural substance that moisturizes the scalp and kills bacteria. Both actions can eliminate dandruff and scalp itchiness that leads to hair loss.
The Japanese Head Spa includes steam treatment to open hair follicles, allowing for deeper cleansing and better absorption of nourishing products followed by a scalp exfoliation to remove impurities and dead skin, followed by a deep cleansing luxurious waterfall shower that reaches beyond the surface to detoxify the scalp. Special hair and scalp masks are applied to nourish your hair. These masks hydrate your hair and scalp, restoring a healthy shine.
A key differentiator of this treatment experience is the emphasis on massage which not only relaxes and stimulates the scalp but also enhances micro-circulation and lymphatic flow. These massage techniques ensure nutrients reach the follicles more effectively, setting the stage for healthier hair growth and scalp condition.
Japanese Head Spa offers an immersive experience that integrates the healing power of aromatherapy tailored carefully to each individual. The harmony of scented oils and the rhythm of the massage encourage the release of serotonin and endorphins, reducing cortisol levels and thereby lowering stress.
This holistic approach offers a sanctuary for those in need of physical and mental restoration making each treatment a retreat into tranquillity and rejuvenation.
By concluding with a customized treatment plan, we ensure that the benefits of your treatment extend beyond our salon. We empower you with knowledge and recommendations tailored specifically to your scalp and hair needs.

We need proper access to the scalp, therefore we cannot perform services on customers with extensions, braids, or sew-ins as these obstruct access to the scalp and pores.

All of our ingredients are safe for any kind of treated hair! However, if you had recently done any kind of chemical services within a week before your Japanese Head Spa appointment, there is a chance that the colour/keratin may lift during our detoxing process.

Oway is an AGRICOSMETIC BRAND with a strong IDENTITY which aims to consistently share the unique perspective of the PRODUCERS through its community of farmers, artisans and experimenters: a conscious decision centred on knowledge, environmental responsibility and commitment to driving change. A brand that just like an INDIVIDUAL, an organism, a coherent, sentient and strong-willed person, has questioned the CONSEQUENCES of its ACTIVITY and has chosen which production approach to embrace (and champion) to reduce its impact on the environment.
Along the path of the OWAY HAIRCARE agricosmetics chain, we have chosen to rely on the example of nature, with its balances, rhythms, and cooperation mechanisms.
But to guarantee the QUALITY AND HIGH CONCENTRATION of plant-based ingredients in them, we soon felt the need to become direct growers. Since 2010, we have put this intention into practice by implementing biodynamic farming practices at our ORTOFFICINA farm: the purest and cleanest method, which avoids all use of synthetic substances to fertilise and protect the soil.
We put ESSENTIAL OILS extracted using natural methods, i.e. steam distillation, in all our agricosmetics. These plant defensive substances serve not only as important active ingredients within the formula, but are the only source of fragrance; our signature and unmistakable olfactory note, which has enabled us to replace all synthetic fragrances.
Our formulas contain a high percentage of BOTANICAL INGREDIENTS. They are designed for PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE, where chemical substances are substituted by plant-based alternatives. We have added “second-hand” materials from UPCYCLING to this synthesis of natural substances: invaluable resources, and agro-food production by-products recovered from disposal and reused for their outstanding cosmetic properties.
Mindful of the wealth that we held in our hands, we asked ourselves: HOW COULD WE BEST PRESERVE its precious characteristics?
As a result, we have allocated 100% PLASTIC-FREE GLASS AND ALUMINIUM CONTAINERS to all the formulas, packed with phyto-derivative substances and active ingredients. Natural materials are considered to be a virtuous choice for various reasons, including infinite recyclability and their ability to protect, preserve, and maintain the integrity of the formula, thus preventing contamination.
But in Oway, the CHOICE OF MATERIALS goes hand in hand with the DISPOSAL CHAIN. We have chosen to invest in END-OF-“FIRST”-LIFE, giving products and objects another chance at life. Consequently, our choices are geared towards combating SINGLE USE products in the salon, at home and in daily life. At the ARTISAN creative and manufacturing hub, we design and produce a collection of designer articles from 100% NATURAL, RECYCLED AND RECOVERED MATERIALS. An assortment of accessories and tools to make life easier in the salon, OPTIMISING RESOURCES and REDUCING WASTE.
The quality and positive impact of all these processes on the future of the planet and future generations is immeasurable. And it is this that leads us to assess their impact with an important unit of measurement: VALUE.
Oway’s goal is to FACILITATE CHANGE IN THE SALON, fostering a virtuous and environmentally friendly approach that can, in turn, serve as a SOURCE OF INSPIRATION for the guests who step into this consistent and identity-driven environment.
We choose to emphasise the value of natural resources, responsible production, the recovery of primary ingredients, and the benefits of their reuse. We also place value on well-informed approaches, aiming to establish a model that can inspire anyone.
