While the term “head spa” refers to a specific style of scalp treatment from Japan, there are spots all around Miami offering much-needed TLC services. From traditional Asian head spas tapping into ancient traditions to cutting-edge salon and spa experiences, these are the spots to try for serious scalp care.
HEAD SPA MIAMI
This is the place to come for ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation. With treatments customized to meet every scalp need, services help address issues like oiliness, build up and dandruff, along with gentle massage techniques on the crown and neck to melt away tension and stress. The 90-minute Relax and Unwind includes a scalp analysis, stimulating tools like the Gua Sha, electric scrubber and the waterfall or Halo and ends with a sleek blow dry.

SUMMERZ HEAD SPA
It’s worth the trip to SumMerz Spa in Hollywood for one of the first-class treatments to help balance the pH level of the scalp and address issues using a combination of ancient Japanese and traditional Indian techniques. While the spa offers a variety of services, don’t miss the Elite Head Spa treatment, complete with a scalp analysis, stimulating scalp massage, hot oil treatment, a purifying clay mask, and a deep scalp exfoliation followed by a nano steam infusion and a deep-penetrating hair balm for intense hydration. 2501 SW 101st Ave Ste. 210, Miramar, summerzspa.com
ACQUALINA SPA
For a truly luxe experience, head to the Acqualina Spa in Sunny Isles and get pampered. Scalp relief seekers will love the Stress Relief Back Massage, focusing on the scalp. After the treatment, guests can continue their wellness experience by the Himalayan Salt Wall in the Relaxation Lounge or drift outdoors to the spa’s concealed, oceanfront pool terrace. A heated jet pool and Roman waterfall spa lead to further stress relief and Vitamin D therapy. 17875 Collins Ave., Sunny Isles Beach, @acqualinaresort
