By now, you’ve probably seen the viral videos on social media: waterfall-like hair showers and decadent scalp massages using an arsenal of odd-looking tools, all part of the trending head spa experience which focuses on the health of the scalp.
While Haus Head Spa in Boca Raton opened just a year ago, husband and wife co-owners Tron Truong and Lily Nguyen are no strangers to the concept. “My wife owned a head spa in Vietnam before it was cool,” Truong says. “We grew up in Asia, where people do this several times a week. It’s part of the culture—go to the beach, then swing by the hair spa.”
At Haus Head Spa, it all starts with a scalp analysis using a camera scope to assess scalp health. “It’s the most daunting part, as most people have never actually seen their scalp,” Truong says. “We check for clogged hair follicles, hair density, and signs of new follicle growth.” After the analysis, you’ll head to a serene treatment room with five spa beds, slip into a cozy robe, and lie back on a warm bed. One way that Haus Head Spa differentiates itself from other head spas: All of their technicians are licensed massage therapists. “A lot of places you see in those viral videos, they overdo it on the tools. While it looks cool, for real stimulation and to unclog hair follicles, we focus on massage. There’s nothing like strong hands,” Truong says.
Their signature 60-minute Japanese Head Spa service ($130) includes a scalp massage, deep cleansing, and exfoliation (think of it as a facial for the scalp) using both manual techniques and specialized tools to boost blood flow and hair growth. “Hair can’t grow to its full potential if follicles are clogged,” Truong says, noting that these scalp treatments are especially vital during gala season, when people overload on styling products. “Regular shampoo won’t remove all that buildup. The more put-together the client, the worse their scalp analysis usually is.” The treatment wraps with a blissful rain shower rinse, quick blow dry and a follow-up scalp check. “You’ll leave floating,” Truong says. Prices start at $75 for an express treatment and go up to $210 with add-ons like facials and hand-and-foot treatments.
Meanwhile, longtime hairdresser Linda Cavasini recently pivoted after 40 years behind the chair to open H2Oasis Shampoo Bed Spa in east Delray Beach, a one-suite head spa where she concentrates on making clients feel as good as they look. “You have a healthy scalp, you have healthy hair,” Cavasini says.
Clients start by picking out an organic tea and their preferred essential oil. Then Cavasini performs a scalp analysis before beginning the treatment with a red-light therapy brush. “Great for circulation,” she notes. From there, it’s a multi-step process: shampoo, exfoliation, another shampoo and a rich conditioning treatment followed by a luxurious steam session under a hood dryer. “That’s when I turn on the massage bed and let them zone out,” Cavasini says. “We have a lot of people who fall asleep.” She finishes with a quick blow dry or a braid and reveals the client’s freshly detoxed scalp with the camera.
“They say their head feels lighter, and their hair has way more body and shine,” she says. Treatments range from $150 to $175 depending on hair length, and it’s extra for a blow dry or a cut and style.
