Cover Story
The Essence of Japanese Head Spa….In Cincinnati!
At Omega Beauty, our signature experience is the Japanese Head Spa. These treatments offer a unique combination of relaxation and therapeutic benefits that focus on the health of your scalp and hair. The treatment begins with aromatherapy to set a calming atmosphere, followed by a series of meticulously designed steps including a deep scalp cleanse, a soothing scalp massage, and the signature halo water feature. These elements work together to rejuvenate your scalp and promote overall well-being. The experience is further enhanced by the use of organic, soothing products that are carefully chosen based on your scalp’s condition. One of the most immediate benefits of a Japanese Head Spa treatment is the immense stress relief it offers. The scalp massage is performed using a combination of
expert hand techniques and specialized scalp massage tools. This gentle, rhythmic massage not only alleviates tension but also creates a serene ambiance that promotes mental relaxation.
For those who opt for the Ultimate Japanese Head Spa Experience, a mini Gua Sha facial is included. This facial uses stones to sculpt the face, relieving tension and promoting lymphatic drainage, taking relaxation to the next level.
Omega Beauty is proudly located in Cincinnati’s OTR and West Side neighborhoods. We also specialize in face sculpting facials, high quality products and a calm, yet trendy atmosphere. We invite you to visit us today and experience our services for yourself!
