Highlights
About This Salon
Set in Londonderry, The Headspa Derry occupies a quiet corner where the pace slows and the focus narrows to specialised care. This salon dedicates itself to Japanese head spa treatments, where steam and skilled hands work in tandem. The therapists here are noted for their experience, guiding clients through multi-step rituals that include steaming, massage, and what regulars describe as a "halo water experience." The treatments unfold in a space designed for calm, with warming blankets and carefully chosen aromas setting the tone. According to visitors, the experience begins with a light touch and builds into a sequence of lotions, potions, and prolonged scalp attention. Many mention the lasting effects, from hair that feels lighter to a sense of renewal that lingers well after the appointment. The salon also offers herbal tea as part of the winding-down process, a small but appreciated detail. While the treatments follow a structured approach, the therapists adapt to individual needs, ensuring comfort throughout. The Headspa Derry operates Wednesday through Saturday, with a schedule that reflects its commitment to undivided attention.

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.
