HEAVEN HEAD SPA
Heaven Head Spa is one of Dunbar’s newest businesses; it opened at the end of December 2024 and is located in the former space of JD’s Barbershop. Owners Trang (Tracy) Phan and her husband, Tom Pham, saw the need for this service in Dunbar. Although this type of spa is relatively new to Canada, it is very popular in Asian countries, including Vietnam, where the couple are originally from.
The spa underwent renovations to create a soothing environment with white walls, light coloured laminate flooring, large mirrors, and comfortable stations for hair washes and head massages. The open-concept design includes one private treatment room.
Heaven Head Spa’s mission is to provide a sanctuary for those seeking scalp wellness and relaxation.
Tracy shares, “Having overcome struggles with scalp issues, I understand the frustration and stress accompanying these problems. I found that natural methods and herbal remedies were the key to restoring my scalp’s health.”
She says, “This organic Eastern shampooing and massage is a holistic method that does more than cleanse hair; it combines therapeutic techniques such as acupressure, massage, and muscle relaxation that targets the neck, head, arms, and shoulders, helping to alleviate tension and promote deep relaxation.”
There are multiple benefits from the shampooing and massage treatment. Your hair and scalp receive a deep cleansing to remove dirt, oil and impurities.
The specialized massages boost health and aid in relaxation and stress reduction. Scalp, neck and shoulder massages help to enhance circulation, relieve muscle tension and reduce stress.
Tracy says, “Scalp massages aid in relieving headaches and improving focus. They improve blood flow to the brain, reducing dizziness, headaches and poor concentration.”
We are dedicated to delivering personalized care that nurtures both body and mind.
Six different pampering packages are available. The 45-minute Massage Relax treatment includes a hot towel, relaxation with essential oils, and a head, neck, shoulder, foot, and hand massage. The Silver hour-long treatment consists of a head, neck and shoulder massage, a scalp detox, twice-washed hair, a scalp massage with a water circulation ring and a relaxing blow dry. The one-and-a-half-hour Ruby treatment is the crème de la crème of pampering; it includes all the previously mentioned massages, hairwashing treatments, and the LED light therapy mask. In addition to these packages, there are three more to select from.
Tracy believes, “The light therapy mask is the future of skincare.” This treatment uses varying wavelengths of light to target skin concerns such as acne, fine lines, and inflammation. This relaxing experience is painless, non-invasive, and offers immediate results.
Feedback has been extremely positive. Tracy says, “We receive customer comments telling us how much they love Heaven Head Spa. They feel relaxed, renewed and refreshed after a relaxing treatment.”
Heaven Head Spa has been very busy since it opened, with weekends being the most popular appointment times. People come from Vancouver’s Westside, Langley, Surrey and Delta to experience the new spa.

Tom has lived in Vancouver since he was young. He knew Dunbar would be the perfect location for Heaven Head Spa. He says, “It’s a nice community. It is very safe here; the people are kind and extremely friendly.”
They are excited to be part of the community and look forward to participating in Dunbar Village Business Association’s events.
Local merchants have been very warm and have welcomed them to the neighbourhood. Tracy shares, “We recommend each other’s businesses to our clients.”
“Although my team’s expertise may not be medical, our commitment to your well-being is unwavering. We look forward to welcoming you to Heaven Head Spa, where you can escape this fast-paced, high-pressure world.”
