With trickling water, satisfyingly lathering shampoo, and a steamy scalp treatment, head spas are trending across the world and leaving many Malaysians wanting to try the heavenly experience. In case you’re not familiar, these treatments, made popular by Japanese salons, often take place in a quieter area (or a private room) complete with a comfortable chair or bed. Essentially, it’s similar to getting a facial, only for your scalp and hair.
Beyond that, a head spa focuses on your scalp’s wellbeing, so anyone experiencing irritation, itching, dandruff, or dryness can book in as the first step towards achieving healthier, happier hair. Ahead, the best head spas in KL and PJ to have on your radar.
