Japanese Head Spa treatment begins with a thorough assessment of the scalp condition, followed by the application of specialized cleansers to remove impurities. Next, therapists perform a meticulous scalp massage using traditional Japanese techniques that focus on meridian points and energy channels. The massage incorporates varying pressure levels and rhythmic movements to stimulate blood flow. Depending on specific scalp needs, therapeutic serums containing botanical extracts are applied. Many treatments include aromatherapy elements using essential oils like hinoki (Japanese cypress), yuzu, or sakura, chosen for their therapeutic properties.

Japanese Head Spa therapy combines traditional Eastern medicine concepts with modern understanding of the scalp's physiology. It works through the stimulation of blood circulation to the hair follicles, encouraging nutrient delivery and toxin removal. The treatment addresses sebum production regulation, scalp tension relief, and strengthening of hair follicles. Scientific studies have shown that regular scalp massage can increase hair thickness by stretching cells of hair follicles, which stimulates genes that regulate hair growth and causes follicles to produce thicker hair.

Japanese Head Spa treatments evolved from traditional Japanese hair care practices dating back to the Heian period (794-1185), when elaborate hair care rituals were considered essential among nobility. The modern concept developed in Tokyo during the 1990s as a response to increasing stress-related hair and scalp issues in urban populations. It combines elements of traditional Chinese medicine meridian theory, Japanese shiatsu massage techniques, and contemporary trichology. The practice gained international recognition in the early 2000s as part of the global interest in Japanese beauty and wellness approaches, now found in premium spas worldwide.
