FAQs

A head spa is a relaxation-focused ritual centered around the crown of your head. It combines warm, flowing water with slow, intentional touch to help release tension, quiet the mind, and bring the body into a more restful state. While your hair and scalp benefit naturally, the experience is designed around how you feel—calm, clear, and deeply relaxed.

It is neither and a little bit of both. This is not a massage and not a typical salon visit. It is a ritual experience that blends elements of both, with a focus on relaxation rather than maintenance or results.

Yes. Warm water is a central part of the experience and flows throughout your ritual. You will leave with clean, refreshed hair.

No. A blow dry is not included in the service. We encourage guests to leave in a relaxed, natural state to extend the experience. You will be provided with a complimentary hair clip or scrunchie for comfort as you leave. Blowouts and finishing services may be offered in the future as we expand our offerings.

Not at this time. Each visit is designed as a private, one-on-one experience to allow for full relaxation and personalization. We plan to expand into couples experiences in the future.

All products used during your ritual are organic, vegan, and gluten-free. We are intentional about what we bring into the space, choosing products that feel good, align with a more conscious approach to care, and support both your experience and overall well-being.

Arrive as you are. There is no need to prepare your hair or change your routine beforehand. We recommend
arriving a few minutes early so you can settle in and fully enjoy the experience.

From the moment you arrive, everything is designed to help you slow down. You will be guided through a quiet, unhurried experience that includes warm water flow, intentional touch, and time to fully relax. Many guests find themselves drifting into a deeply calm state.

That depends on what you are looking for. Some guests visit monthly as part of their routine, while others come in when they feel the need to reset and slow down. We will help guide you based on what feels realistic and supportive for you. EXPLORE OUR MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS.

Most people can enjoy a head spa ritual. If you have sensitivities, recent procedures, or specific concerns, we recommend reaching out ahead of time so we can make sure your experience is comfortable and tailored to you.

To preserve the integrity of both your hair and our ritual experience, we’re unable to service extensions, protective styles, or locs at this time, as our process may lead to unwanted tangling.

Wear something comfortable. You will be provided with a spa wrap to change into for your comfort before getting settled into the blankets. This allows you to fully relax while still feeling covered and at ease. We will guide you through everything once you arrive so you can settle in without having to think about it

We kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or missed appointments will result in a fee, as that time has been reserved specifically for you. EMAIL: info@ashevilleheadspa.com
