Head Spa Reviews
Everything from the cleanliness to the aesthetics of the spa itself was top notch. Service was impeccable and the attention to detail was spot on. Left feeling pampered and relaxed. I loved the massage chair, which has calves back and arm kneading functions. The head massage itself is unapparelled: from the tingly scalp cleansing to the warm towel on your shoulders.... it was what I needed to end the stressful week! Thank you HEAD SPA - I will 1000% recommend to everyone!
Asami is so nice and welcoming. She addressed the headache, neck and shoulder tension that I was having prior to the head spa. She provided the best scalp massage with the perfect amount of pressure.
I have read about head spas and was excited to finally try it. Maki at Head Spa exceeded my expectations. My head felt so clean and invigorated. The entire experience was so relaxing. Thank you, Maki!
Parking is right in front, very easy but keep in mind that the lot is quite small and there aren't a lot of options elsewhere since it's located right on King St. When I was waiting I heard other people say that they were having trouble parking so something to keep in mind.
I picked the 60 minute experience and it was everything I wanted and more. It was soooo relaxing. They have Japanese hair products that they wash your hair with and give you a neck/shoulder massage as well while you're lying in a massage chair for true head to toe relaxation. Tara took amazing care of me, she was great and so so kind.
If you're anything like me and like to prepare in advance, you don't need to fully remove your clothes but they do recommend you take the top portion off and use this tube-top thing they provide you with so they can massage your shoulder area. Small earrings are also fine to keep on but I believe you do need to remove any necklaces you have.
I would 100% recommend this to anybody seeking a relaxing experience. You walk away with clean, refreshed hair too!
I think I heard myself snore a few times, but the head massage by Tara was pure bliss!! Even though the massage chair was a bit snug for my big-back Polynesian build, I was completely relaxed and enjoyed every second of it. Let me just say, my scalp and hair feel so clean and soft, it's amazing!!
I can't wait to go back and experience the other services they provide.
Definitely treat yourself, and get with Tara! I know I'll be back!
A girlfriend mentioned that she goes to Head Spa and I was very curious to experience this place because she told me she has gone four times for different services. They specialize in different Japanese Head Spa - Hair quality improvement , Relaxation, Eye Strain Relief, Insomnia, Neck Stiffness along with Delux Head Spa Treatments. You can also get facials. They also give you options to add to your experience like extra neck and shoulder massage, peppermints foot scrub, heating eye mask, hand mask, and delightful facial among other options.
The business was so easy to find on South King St. it's located next door to Baskin and Robin's Ice Cream Shop. There's a lot of parking!
The moment I stepped into Head Spa you immediately relax. It's clean, quiet, spa music is playing and Yoshimi is there to welcome you! She's just the sweetest person.
- my go to technician is Sumi! Peaceful energy and also provides a lot of strong pressure for my sessions!
For the first time I went I decided to try the Relaxation Head Spa and added the Delightful Facial.
Yoshimi has me put my stuff in a locker located next to the door and you can hold onto your key. The technician comes out and helps you get settled into your area. You put your top/shirt and whatever else you have into a basket, and you put on a robe top that snaps at the front exposing your shoulders and neck. You are laid into a massage chair pod and by this time you're ready to just melt. My technician started out with my facial and I would tell you how it went but I fell asleep throughout the whole experience!
After you're done they take you to your chair so you can drink some tea and eat crackers that they give to you at the end which is a wonderful touch.
I went back a second time and treated my son to a Relaxation Head Spa for Boy's Day. He walked out and I knew that he was so relaxed that he needed a moment to sit and have his tea and cookies.
My second time for service my husband also got a Head Spa at the same time and I (requested Sumi) actually ended up buying a membership package. Go to website to see the different memberships offered.
I've gone a third time (Again- Sumi was my technician) for a relaxation Head Spa and again with Sumi for just a Ageless Facial!
I am seriously so hooked.
I highly recommend Head Spa located on S. King St in Honolulu. It's a Diamond!
I then met Maki, did a quick bathroom break (since this treatment was about an hour!), and met her back in my assigned area. There was a huge body massage chair with a bowl/sink in the head area, which also had the cool scalp shower attachment! I was asked to change out of my top and into a provided cover up (you can leave your bra on, but I decided not to since it was so close to the water/shower bowl anyway). Then I sank into the massage chair and Maki let me know I could place my arms/hands farther into the chair so that they could be massaged. She asked if I wanted heat as well (yes!) and placed a cozy blanket over me. I appreciated that she would check in with me about the water temperature and pressure of the massage chair. I have huge runner calves, but the massage was really good throughout! Having Maki work on my scalp, feeling the water shower over me, and hearing the peaceful music in the background was all so relaxing. I was very close to falling asleep, honestly! The scalp massage was also very lovely--just enough pressure and not too intense! I didn't even realize certain pressure points needed to be released until then! All the different soaps/conditioners in my hair smelled amazing, and my hair felt so smooth and healthy afterwards.
The ice globe soothing eye massage was also a very nice add-on and definitely helped with my under eye puffiness. I felt so relaxed and refreshed after my treatment! I didn't include the add-on blow dry service, but Maki was kind enough to start drying my hair, even for a little bit as she had a customer waiting. I let her know that it was totally okay and that I could dry it. We also received a senbei cracker and cold green tea after our treatment as a little refreshment.
I checked in with my friend and she also had an amazing time. We definitely want to come back for another spa day! 🙂 Thank you!
Maki was great! She always checked in with me to see if the temperature was okay, and if there were any major concerns that I had with my scalp (e.g., itchiness, etc). I was so relaxed during my appointment I was almost at the point of falling asleep.
Aoi is the absolute best person ever !! She is super sweet and talented in the art of making you feel super relaxed. Ive been doing the detox scalp massage with the rosemary foot exfoliating scrub and im obsessed!!! Ive been like 10 times already and see amazing results in my hair growth and texture ! Truly the best to do it !!
I arrived 5 minutes early and managed to find parking in the small lot for my 10am appointment. It would have been easier to take an Uber/Lyft from Waikiki, a quick 10 minute ride.
We discussed the treatment, put my purse in a locker and was escorted to one of the private booths with the massage chair. They provide a spa wrap for comfort and a basket for your clothes. I melted away in the zero gravity massage chair, it was relaxing. The facial was soothing and I felt rejuvenated, the tension smoothed away. After the facial we moved on to the head spa, and wow! My hair is wavy, and had the simple blow dry afterwards, my hair felt soft and smooth.
I recommend the Head Spa, especially after a long flight to HNL.
This was just what I needed before my flight back home.
Thank you Yoshimi & Ai for a wonderful experience at the Head Spa of Honolulu!
Loved the scalp treatment! Jing used the prefect amount of pressure. My scalp feels so clean and light afterward. I’ll definitely come back again!
Aoi was amazing! Scalp feels clean and neck muscles have less tension.
Maki was absolutely amazing! She worked very methodically through the process and provided great attention to detail. At the end she discussed resolutions to help eliminate issues with headaches due to my hair type. Wonderful service!
Marlo did a fantastic job with massaging my shoulders and neck, perfect pressure. Scalp massage was heavenly. Water temperature was relaxing. Definitely telling friends/family about this place.
