Head Spa

ELEVATED SCALP & HAIR CARE

Head spas, a spa concept originating from Japan, have become well known for their relaxing scalp services. Although every head spa experience is unique, Badlands has drawn inspiration from this luxurious treatment and adapted it to a salon environment.

For some, it’s a restorative service that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and stimulates the scalp to support healthy hair growth. For others, it’s a reparative and hydrating hair treatment coupled with a signature blowout and style. But for most, it’s an opportunity to experience more of what everyone really wants when visiting a hair salon: an extended scalp massage.


Treatment Benefits

• Deeply cleanses and exfoliates the scalp to remove buildup
• Stimulates circulation to support healthy hair growth
• Hydrates and nourishes both scalp and hair
• Provides extended scalp massage for deep relaxation
• Leaves hair soft, refreshed, and styled to your preference


Each step of your 75 minute Head Spa Experience features thoughtfully curated clean hair care products selected for their ingredients, performance, and sensory experience.

Your head spa experience takes place in our private studio suite, where natural light and a relaxing atmosphere help you slow down, reset, and calm the nervous system. You’ll simply remove your shoes before settling in under a cozy weighted blanket for the treatment. From there, lie back and relax while we care for your scalp and hair.

SOOTHE
A botanical scalp oil infused with rosemary and nourishing plant oils is massaged into the scalp to calm the skin, stimulate circulation, and create a relaxing aromatherapeutic start to the treatment.

CLEANSE
A detoxifying herbal shampoo with organic sage and fermented apple cider vinegar gently removes buildup and excess oil while helping rebalance the scalp.

EXFOLIATE
A mineral-rich Himalayan sea salt scrub with peppermint gently exfoliates the scalp, stimulating circulation while creating a refreshing cooling sensation.

HYDRATE
A nourishing hair mask blended with organic chamomile powder delivers deep hydration while helping calm the scalp and leaving hair soft, smooth, and healthy.

STYLE
The experience concludes with a signature blow-dry and style using clean, high-performance hair care products.

FAQ’s

  • Head spa experiences can vary widely, and at Badlands we've adapted ours to fit our studio ethos and focus on clean hair care. Our 75 minute service takes place in a salon environment and concludes with a signature blowout and light style.

  • Head spa sessions are ideally enjoyed as a standalone service. If you'd like to combine it with a haircut, please book your haircut first with the stylist of your choice, followed by a head spa session, which will default to the head spa provider working that day.

    Head spa services cannot be booked alongside color or extension appointments, as the combination of both services can be overstimulating for the scalp and may impact long-lasting color results.

  • No. Head spa services are performed by a select group of stylists who are part of our Head Spa Team. When booking online, appointments will automatically be assigned to the team member performing head spa services that day.

  • We recommend arriving in comfortable clothing such as leggings or sweatpants, a tank top or t-shirt, and cozy socks, as you’ll be lying down during the service under a warm weighted blanket. Little to no makeup is encouraged since you’ll be wearing a heated eye mask and experiencing gentle steam during the treatment.

  • No. Guests remain fully clothed during the experience and are simply invited to remove their shoes before settling in under a cozy weighted blanket. The treatment takes place in a dedicated studio suite designed to feel calm, open, and light-filled within the salon environment.

  • While we keep conversation minimal to support relaxation, the head spa still takes place within a working salon environment. You may hear the natural sounds of the studio, but the experience is designed to help you slow down, reset, and relax.

  • Head spa services are not recommended for guests currently wearing hair extensions. Because the treatment includes extensive scalp massage, exfoliation, and cleansing, it may disrupt the extensions.

  • Each head spa experience concludes with a signature blow-dry and light style to your liking, such as smoothing the hair with a flat iron or adding soft waves with a curling iron. Natural curls are also an option, though the hair may not be fully dry due to timing.

  • Many clients enjoy booking a head spa session at the beginning of each season (about every 12 weeks) as part of their regular scalp and hair routine. Others choose to visit more frequently (every 1–2 months) for ongoing scalp care and relaxation.
