What exactly is a head spa?
A head spa is a results-driven scalp facial that blends trichology and relaxation. It’s part treatment, part therapy : a deep cleanse, exfoliation, and hydration ritual designed to reset your scalp, boost circulation, and give your hair a fresh start. Think of it as skincare for your scalp, with the added bonus of total nervous system calm.

​

How often should I get a head spa treatment?
That depends on your scalp. Some clients come every two weeks for ongoing scalp issues, while others book monthly or seasonally as part of their self-care routine. I’ll recommend the ideal frequency based on your scalp condition, goals, and how your skin responds to treatment.

​

Can I book a head spa if I have extensions or color-treated hair?
Yes. We’ll tailor your ritual to keep everything balanced and protected. Most head spa products are gentle and color-safe, but I recommend waiting at least seven days after any color service to minimize fading. If you have extensions, the massage flow will be adjusted to avoid unnecessary tension on the wefts while still giving your scalp the attention it deserves..

​

Do you take walk-ins?
I don’t. Root & Ritual is a private salon suite, and all appointments are one-on-one to ensure each client gets undivided attention. You can book easily online anytime, though.

​

Can I bring a friend or guest to my appointment?

Absolutely. This is your time, and if having a friend with you makes it a better experience, I’m all for it. The space is private and comfortable, so you can relax however you like. For minors, I prefer that a parent or guardian stays during the service.

​

Can a friend and I get a head spa service at the same time?
Right now, I’m a one-woman show, so I can only do one head spa at a time. But if you and a friend both want to come in, you’re welcome to hang out while the other gets their service, then switch. It’s a relaxed, easy way to unwind together without rushing the experience.

​

Do you offer head spa rituals for men?
Absolutely. Scalp health doesn’t discriminate. Root & Ritual is a gender-inclusive space, all humans welcome.

​

Can I get a head spa during pregnancy?
In most cases, yes. The treatments are gentle and safe, but you’ll be reclined for most of the service, so make sure that position feels comfortable for you. And as always, if you have any concerns, check with your OB or midwife before booking.

​

Can I get a head spa if I have psoriasis or eczema?
Yes, and in many cases, it can help ease discomfort. I recommend the Balancing Head Spa Ritual or the Echo Intensive Treatment, as both are designed to calm inflammation and soothe irritated skin.

​

Is there a minimum age to receive a head spa?
Ages 13 and up are welcome, as long as they can stay comfortable and still for about an hour. The Lite Head Spa Ritual is a great place to start. For younger clients, I do prefer that a parent or guardian be present during the service.

​

Should I wash my hair before my appointment?
You don’t have to , it’ll be washed during your service. That said, do whatever makes you comfortable. If you’d rather come in with clean hair, that’s totally fine too.

​

What should I wear to my appointment?
Dress comfortably! You’ll be reclined for most of your service, think “nap mode,” not “red carpet.”

Avoid turtlenecks, hoodies, or cowl necks, and if you’re wearing long sleeves, make sure they can be pushed up easily. I want you to be able to fully relax and enjoy every minute.

​

Can I record myself during my service?

I don’t recommend it. That being said, it’s your time, so as long as it doesn’t interfere with the flow of your treatment or your ability to relax and enjoy the experience, feel free.

​

Can I bring my own shampoo and conditioner to use?

No. My treatments are built around specific formulations designed to support scalp microbiome health and product synergy. I’ve done extensive research into the safety and efficacy of each product I use. If you’re concerned about a specific ingredient, please let me know and we can omit any products that contain it.

​

Do I get my hair dried after the service?
A blowout isn’t included with Head Spa Rituals but is available as an add-on if you’d like. Typically, after a head spa service, I’ll gently towel dry and detangle your hair so it can air dry naturally.

​

Do you have to have hair to get a head spa?
Not at all. Scalp care is for everyone. The treatment focuses on skin health, circulation, and relaxation , hair or no hair.
