Atama Holistic Head Spa & Salon Australia’s first combined Japanese-style head spa and salon, right here in New Farm.
I
f the question, “What is a head spa?” comes to mind, you’re not alone. Being the first of its kind in Australia, atama is a unique boutique hair salon waiting for you to discover the popular Japanese beauty technique that promises luscious hair and serene self-care. Through nourishment and treatment of the scalp, hair, and skin, atama owner, Gabriel, believes it’s the most important part of a salon visit. While travelling through Japan and receiving training in head spa treatments (which combine blissful relaxation and head massage with moisturising and enriching hair treatments), Gabriel is also a first-class hairstylist and colourist. One peruse over her gallery of client’s luscious locks on her website or Instagram, and you’ll see why this technique boasts incredible results inside and out. Only using natural, organic, and crueltyfree products, atama uses OWAY for hair and PHYT’S for skin. They’re also a part of the sustainable salons network, repurposing waste
and diverting it from landfill. Their goal is to make salon waste a thing of the past and they’ve already taken the steps towards this by achieving green accreditation from the Australian Hairdressing Council. Each fortnight their salon waste is collected and sold for repurposing with all proceeds donated to charity. Now that’s calming! Choose from a delightful head spa menu with facials, massage, and hot stone elements, or perhaps a salon appointment ranging from cuts, colours, foils, and styling. Or get carried away with permanent straightening, anti-frizz treatments, and scalp lightening re-growth options. Their unique techniques highlight atama’s three tangible benefits of reducing hair loss, releasing tension headaches, and restoring mind-body balance. Step inside Gabriel’s bright and light space on James Street to discover the calming and peaceful head spa technique today.
