Get your head right. Scalp spas are the latest self-care indulgence taking over NYC.
If you’ve ever closed your eyes at the shampoo bowl and wished your stylist would keep massaging your scalp just a little longer, then NYC’s scalp spas might be calling your name. This growing trend is booming, with searches for “scalp treatment” skyrocketing by 150 percent in the past year. It's more than just a fancy wash and condition — scalp spas offer deep cleansing, massage and treatments that promote hair growth, reduce stress and leave your head feeling brand new.
Scalp spas are for all, including the 4C girlies, and are perfect for a post-braid-takedown scalp refresh. Plus, scalp health is directly linked to hair growth, according to the experts, and with the rise of 'skinification' in hair care, more people are treating their scalps like an extension of their skincare routine. Research shows that regular scalp massages can improve circulation, reduce dandruff and even help with thinning hair. Plus, the relaxation? Unmatched.
Whether you're between box braids or just want an hour of extreme tranquility, it might be time to try a scalp facial. Here are four NYC scalp spas to check out:
