Japanese Head Spa is a luxurious, therapeutic treatment designed to rejuvenate both the scalp and the mind.
Our signature treatment focuses on stimulating hair follicles while gently addressing scalp and hair concerns. Since the journey to healthy, radiant hair begins at the scalp, this indulgent experience works at the very root of hair health. Through a combination of deep cleansing, nutrient-rich conditioning, and blood flow stimulation, the Japanese Head Spa promotes growth, prevents hair loss, and maintains long-term scalp vitality. Each follicle is nurtured, paving the way for stronger, shinier, and more resilient hair.
Beyond its physical benefits, the Japanese Head Spa offers an oasis of tranquillity—a deeply relaxing escape that restores balance to both body and mind.
What Do I Get in a 60 Minute Treatment?
Initial scalp analysis — performed under the microscope to assess scalp and hair health, and to identify specific needs ranging from hydration to repair or detoxification. This careful diagnostic approach ensures the treatment not only addresses aesthetic goals but also promotes long-term scalp health and hair vitality.
Deep cleansing “waterfall” experience — a relaxing water shower.
Steam treatment with essential aromatherapy oils — opens hair follicles for deeper cleansing and better nutrient absorption, using essential oils and a customised herbal mask. The harmony of scented oils and the rhythm of a foot or hand massage during the steaming encourage the release of serotonin and endorphins, reducing cortisol levels and lowering stress.
Scalp exfoliation — a deep cleansing shampoo removes impurities and dead skin to detoxify the scalp.
Application of nourishing hair and scalp masks — hydrates and restores shine using bespoke, organic Oway products.
Soothing scalp massage — targeting pressure points to promote relaxation and ease muscle tension.
Hair drying — a simple dry without styling.
Customised aftercare plan — tailored recommendations to maintain scalp and hair health beyond the treatment.

Generally, this treatment is safe for most individuals. However, if you have specific allergies to botanical ingredients or scalp sensitivities, it's advisable to inform your therapist beforehand. Additionally, individuals with certain medical conditions or scalp conditions should consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing the treatment.
We exclusively use Oway Organic products and ingredients. We believe in non-toxic, holistic hair and skincare.
Each of our treatments will begin with a microscopic consultation analysis of your scalp, followed by a custom-tailored, hand-blended treatment just for you.
For those with sensitive, reddened, irritated skin we will use Oway’s Soothing line of dermatologically tested products that will soothe, decongest, reduce redness, replenish lipids and normalize.
For those with oily skin, we will use Oway’s Excess Sebum line that will detoxify, dermo-purify and balance the state of the scalp prone to seborrhoea imbalances. This line has deep rebalancing and anti-inflammatory action.
Dry/Flakiness? We will use Oway’s Purifying line that purifies and regulates along with its refreshing and sanitizing action. This line regenerates skin subject to scaling, reactivates the scalp’s microcirculation, and relieves itching and burning typical of skin with dandruff.
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.
We do not recommend or offer Japanese Head Spa treatments with hair extensions but we recommend a Japanese Head Spa treatment between extension removal and reapplication. It's the perfect way to cleanse your scalp and reset it before a new set of extensions is installed.
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. Therefore, we recommend customers to wait at least a week after any kind of hair treatment before receiving a Japanese Head Spa.
Additionally, we do recommend waiting at least a week AFTER your Head spa treatment before doing any kind of chemical treatments. It is not ideal to apply chemicals to a freshly cleaned scalp.
Not at all. In fact, a Japanese Head Spa treatment can complement your regular hair care routine by providing deep cleansing, nourishment and relaxation that may not be possible with daily home care alone. Our experts can also advise you on how to maintain scalp and hair health between treatments.
We recommend indulging in a Head Spa session once a month.
As the skin, including the scalp, undergoes a renewal cycle of approximately 28 days, scheduling a monthly Japanese Head Spa appointment can effectively contribute to maintaining a healthy scalp.
However, our experts can provide personalized recommendations based on your scalp condition and treatment goals.

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.
