Please do not wash your hair for 48 hours before your appointment. This allows us to assess your scalp in its natural state and provide a more personalised experience.
Before arriving, please ensure your hair is fully detangled and free from styling products. There is no need for any additional preparation — simply arrive and let us take care of the rest.
-
At the end of your experience, your hair will be gently rough-dried to remove excess moisture. We do not offer blow-drying, brushing or hair styling services, so please keep this in mind when planning your visit.
-
Our Head Spa treatments are suitable for most colour-treated and chemically treated hair. However, as the experience includes professional scalp cleansing and water-based treatments, freshly applied colour or toner may be affected, particularly when it has been applied recently.
If you have recently had your hair coloured, toned, chemically treated or received a keratin treatment, we recommend allowing sufficient time for the treatment to settle before booking your Head Spa.
If you are unsure whether your hair is suitable, please contact us before booking. Our team will be happy to advise you based on your recent hair treatments and individual needs.
-
If you have a sensitive scalp or a diagnosed scalp condition, please contact us before booking so we can advise whether a Head Spa is suitable for you.
If your scalp is particularly irritated, inflamed, broken or compromised, we may recommend postponing your appointment until the area has settled. This is to ensure your comfort and the suitability of the experience.
Please refer to our Booking Information for our full list of contraindications.

Unfortunately, we are unable to perform Head Spa treatments on hair extensions of any kind, braids, sew-ins or locs, as full access to the scalp is required for the experience.
If you wear extensions or a protective style, we recommend booking your Head Spa between refits or once the style has been removed, allowing your therapist to properly access and care for the scalp.
-
For ongoing scalp and hair care, we generally recommend having a Head Spa every 4–6 weeks. However, the ideal frequency can vary depending on your scalp, hair and individual needs.
Your therapist can advise you on a suitable routine following your treatment.
