Trend focus: head spas

Launched in the UK in March 2025, the Japanese head spa experience is available in partnership with Dutch specialist Hair and Nature. Based in the Netherlands, the brand introduced the concept to its offer in 2021, blending traditional Japanese techniques with modern wellness practices to allow spas to deliver a relaxing, tailored treatment.

The treatment protocol can be tailored to suit any spa menu but typically includes a personalised scalp assessment using an in-built scanner, followed by a deep cleanse with a purifying wash and exfoliation. A soothing head, neck and shoulder massage, and a relaxation period under the rainbow shower head is followed by a hydrating mask and steam session. Add-ons such as a facial or hand and foot treatments can increase spa treatment revenue potential.

Ellisons provides full Japanese head spa training online or at its training facility in Coventry, accredited by the Guild of Beauty Therapists and endorsed by HABIA. www.ellisons.co.uk
