What Is a Head Spa—And Why It’s Not Just About Hair

Let’s get one thing out of the way: this is not your average scalp massage.

At Sage & Stone, a head spa is so much more than a treatment for your hair. It’s a full-body, full-nervous-system experience rooted in intentional care and slow beauty.

While head spas originated in Japan and Korea—often focusing on scalp exfoliation, oiling, and pressure point work—Sage & Stone brings a deeper, more holistic approach to the ritual.

Here, a head spa means:

• Steaming herbal infusions into your crown

• Massaging tension out of your jaw, temples, and scalp

• Cleansing buildup from your scalp and your energy field

• Using essential oils, sound, and breath to reconnect you with your body

• Holding gentle pressure points to support your nervous system

Yes, we focus on the scalp.

Yes, we support hair growth.

But we also care for the nervous system, the emotional body, and the energetic root of your tension.

People often walk in thinking they’re getting a treatment for hair loss or dryness—and they do.

But what they leave with is something even more powerful:

A sense of calm.

A clearer mind.

A softened heart

.A deeper exhale.

So what is a head spa?

It’s not just about your hair.

It’s about how you feel in your skin.
