About This Salon
A few steps from the centre of Reading, The Relaxation Room specialises in Japanese head spa treatments. Clients begin with a detailed questionnaire to tailor each session, followed by a scalp analysis that determines the blend of products used. The signature ASMR massage, performed with skilled yet gentle hands, receives consistent praise for its deeply relaxing effects. Many visitors report falling asleep during treatments, while others highlight the lasting reduction in stress levels. The quiet, private space ensures minimal distraction, creating an environment where clients can fully unwind. One customer, nine months pregnant, noted it was the first time she had felt completely at ease in months. The salon's limited opening hours reflect its personalised approach, with appointments available on Tuesday afternoons.

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.
