In essence, a “Head Spa” is a scalp treatment. It is great for addressing any kind of scalp concerns you may be experiencing whether that is oiliness, dandruff, hair loss, or so forth. However here at MASA.KANAI, we take the simple concept of a scalp treatment and elevate it into a whole Zen relaxation experience!

While treating your scalp, we are dedicated to giving you the self-care you need through holistic treatments. Our ideology is healing from the inside-out. As opposed to a quick fix for poor hair and scalp conditions, we focus on addressing the root of the problem whether that is stress, unhealthy home care practices, or something deeper. Such issues should not occur in the first place if your head is in its best natural condition! Our Head Spa is a holistic adventure for your scalp and hair, not to be mistaken as a massage parlor.

 

“One leaves feeling like a puddle of jelly and possessing an extremely clean scalp and head of hair.”
- New York Magazine -

 

We personalize every service to meet your needs and make sure you leave feeling transformed. MASA.KANAI performs every Head Spa in a secluded private room equipped with a YUME DX lounge chair. Designed for long services, the Yume DX guarantees perfect comfort and easy meditation during every visit. We also utilize the state-of-the-art Ultra Sonic Mist device. With finer particles compared to normal steam therapy, the ultra sonic mist can penetrate deeper into the hair shaft to gently open up the hair's cuticle layer for deeper conditioning of the hair and scalp. 

MASA.KANAI uses the best technique and equipment for our Head Spa so that we can heal your mind, body, & scalp.
