About This Salon

A few steps from Tonbridge High Street, The Skin Shed offers a quiet escape for those seeking relief from stress or scalp tension. The salon specialises in Japanese head spa treatments, including the Shirotchampi technique, an Indian head massage that incorporates essential oils and specialised tools. Clients consistently praise the expertise with a soft touch demonstrated by the therapists, who adapt their approach to individual needs. The head spa experience begins with a consultation to ensure comfort and safety, particularly for those with allergies or sensitivities. Treatments are performed on heated beds, adding an extra layer of relaxation. Per client experiences, the atmosphere is calming, with attention to details like soft lighting and gentle transitions between techniques. Many visitors note feeling profoundly relaxed, with some even falling asleep during sessions. The salon also offers optional upgrades, such as a rough blow-dry or an extended luxury treatment, for those wanting a more comprehensive experience. Open select days with evening availability, The Skin Shed caters to both weekday and weekend clients. The space is small but thoughtfully arranged, ensuring a personalised experience.

Booking Your Head Spa

Here are our tips to prepare for and fully enjoy your scalp treatment.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.
