Head Spa in Atlanta: Scalp Cleanse and Massage

What is a head spa?

A head spa is a calm, unhurried ritual focused on your scalp and hair. It pairs a thorough scalp cleanse with a slow scalp and head massage, so it feels more like a spa treatment than a quick shampoo.

The style is often called a Japanese head spa. To learn more about where it comes from and what to expect, read our guide on what a head spa is.

Where is the head spa at Nail Shadow?

Head spa is offered at both Nail Shadow salons, in Buckhead and Kennesaw. Call your salon for current options and pricing: Nail Shadow Buckhead at (404) 365-9846 or Nail Shadow Kennesaw at (678) 402-8345.

You will find Buckhead at 2391 Peachtree Rd NE, Suite B3, in Atlanta, and Kennesaw at 2090 Baker Rd NW, Suite 501, in Kennesaw.

How do you choose your head spa options?

The easiest way to choose is to call ahead. Head spa options and pricing are not listed on our online menu, so your salon will walk you through what is available on the day you want to visit.

When you call, mention anything the team should know, such as a sensitive scalp or how much time you have, so they can help you plan a visit that feels unhurried.

What happens during a head spa appointment?

Your visit begins with a quick conversation about how your scalp and hair feel, then you settle back into a comfortable position. From there, the session moves at an easy pace.

  1. Your scalp is gently cleansed and rinsed.
  2. Your technician works through a slow scalp and head massage.
  3. Hair is rinsed and towel dried.

Many guests find the experience deeply relaxing. Our guide to head spa benefits covers what people enjoy most about it.

Is a head spa right for you?

A head spa suits anyone who enjoys scalp massage and wants a quiet hour to themselves. It is a treat for clean, fresh-feeling hair and a calm mind.

If you have a scalp condition, broken skin or sunburn on the scalp, or you are pregnant, check with your doctor first and let your technician know before your appointment.

Make an afternoon of it by pairing your visit with a spa pedicure or manicure. When you are ready, call our Buckhead salon or our Kennesaw salon for current options and pricing.

What is a Japanese head spa?

A Japanese head spa is a slow, relaxing scalp ritual that combines a careful scalp cleanse with scalp and head massage. The focus is on calm and care rather than a quick wash and style.

Do I need to book a head spa ahead?
