About This Salon
A few steps from the Plymouth Wellbeing Centre, Astar Therapeutics offers Japanese head spa treatments in a professional setting. The most cited aspect: clients appreciate the therapist's ability to create a calm atmosphere while adapting to their preferences for conversation or silence. The Japanese head spa includes deep scalp cleansing, steam therapy, and a head, neck, and shoulder massage, with careful attention given to pressure preferences. The salon caters to both short and long hair, though clients are advised to bring their own hair ties or towels. Treatments are designed to leave hair damp but refreshed, with several reviewers noting the lasting sense of relaxation and the pleasant aroma of the oils used. The therapist's approachable manner and professionalism are frequently highlighted in reviews, particularly by first-time clients. Evening appointments are available on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Booking Your Head Spa
Here are our tips to prepare for and fully enjoy your scalp treatment.
Book in Advance
Book 1 to 2 weeks in advance. Weekend slots sell out fast. And some scalp care specialists are in high demand, especially at reputable Japanese head spa and Indian head massage (champissage) salons.
Prepare for Your Visit
If you have concerns like itchy scalp, product buildup, or hair loss (alopecia), mention them when booking to customise your session.
Day of Your Session
Don't wash your hair the day of your appointment and arrive with brushed hair. Skip makeup as some treatments include a facial mask or kobido massage.
After Your Session
Enjoy a calm activity to extend the relaxing effects of your head massage. Note: blow-drying is usually not included. Allow extra time for long hair.
At-Home Care
Avoid washing your hair for 24-48 hours to let the treatment absorb. For a healthy scalp between sessions, ask your specialist which shampoo and hair care products to use at home.
Maintain Your Results
For lasting scalp health, consider regular treatments. Many clients book their next head spa before leaving to maintain their scalp care routine.
