Book Your RitualWhat to expect
A head spa is a luxury wellness treatment rooted in traditional Japanese haircare philosophy, designed to restore balance to your scalp while delivering a profoundly calming experience for the mind and body. At Roots Head Spa + Wellness Lounge, we call our sessions Rituals — because that is exactly what they are.
Each visit combines personalized scalp analysis, deep cleansing, therapeutic massage, and our signature halo water experience to rejuvenate your scalp, support healthier hair, and leave you feeling completely renewed. Once you experience it, you will understand why our guests keep coming back.
Book Your First RitualEvery session is thoughtfully designed to relax the mind while transforming the health of your scalp. Your ritual typically includes:
- Personalized scalp analysis and consultation
- Aromatherapy scalp cleanse
- Treatment therapy
- Relaxing scalp and neck massage
- Halo water therapy rinse
- Nourishing conditioning treatment
- Blow dry finish
Each service is performed in a calm, private setting where your comfort and relaxation are the only priority. No two visits are exactly alike — your experience is tailored to what your scalp needs that day.
The benefits go far beyond a great hair day. Consistent head spa treatments support improved scalp circulation, deep removal of product buildup, relief from tension and stress headaches, and a meaningful reduction in everyday stress. Many guests also report better sleep quality and a noticeable improvement in hair density and overall scalp health over time.
Think of it less as a spa treat and more as an investment in your long-term wellness — one that happens to feel incredible.
Start Your Wellness JourneyMost rituals range from 50 to 90 minutes depending on the service you select. We recommend arriving 10 to 15 minutes early to allow time for check-in and to ease into the experience before your session begins.
Most guests find their sweet spot returning every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain optimal scalp health and relaxation. Regular visits help keep buildup at bay, support circulation, and maintain the balance of your scalp between sessions. That said, some guests come more frequently — and we never complain about that.
Schedule Your Next VisitHonestly? Almost everyone. Head spa rituals are particularly beneficial for guests experiencing:
- Dry or oily scalp
- Excess product buildup
- Stress or tension
- Dull or thinning hair
- Scalp irritation or itchiness
- Anyone simply in need of deep, intentional relaxation
Whether you are dealing with a specific scalp concern or just need an hour to completely decompress, Roots was built for you.
Can I get a head spa if I'm bald or have thinning hair?
Absolutely — in fact, scalp health matters most when hair is thinning or absent. Our rituals are fully customizable and can be tailored to deliver a deeply relaxing and therapeutic scalp experience regardless of hair density.
We also offer natural treatments and add-ons specifically designed to stimulate the scalp and support fuller, healthier hair growth over time. Everyone deserves this level of care, and at Roots, we mean that.
Book Your RitualEvery texture.
Every type.
No — and actually, please don't. Arrive with your hair as it naturally is. Our rituals include a full cleansing and scalp preparation as part of the experience, so freshly washed hair is not necessary. We do ask that your hair be fully detangled before your arrival to ensure we can make the most of every minute of your session.
Absolutely — and you are very much at home here. Our practitioners are trained to work with all hair textures and curl patterns with the care and expertise they deserve. We ask that you arrive with fully detangled hair to ensure the best possible experience.
If you have specific product preferences, sensitivities, or concerns, simply let us know and we will tailor your ritual accordingly. Roots is built for everyone — and that includes you.
Book Your RitualYes. Guests with braids and locs are welcome at Roots. Services for braided or loc'd hair are performed thoughtfully and with care, though the experience may vary based on style and condition.
We encourage you to reach out before booking so we can discuss what to expect and ensure your visit is everything it should be.
Our treatments are formulated to be safe for color-treated and chemically processed hair. However, if you have had a color service, keratin treatment, or any chemical process within the past 7 days, we recommend waiting before your head spa appointment, as the deep cleansing process may cause some lifting.
We also suggest allowing a week after your ritual before scheduling any chemical services, giving your freshly treated scalp the time it needs to settle. When in doubt, reach out — we are happy to advise.
Before you arrive
Not at all. A blow dryer is available in your suite and you are welcome to use it within your allotted appointment time. To keep your session flowing smoothly, simply let your practitioner know your drying preference at the start of your visit so we can plan accordingly.
If your service does not include a blow dry, you can easily add one at the time of booking. We also offer a Blow Out add-on for guests who'd like to leave with their hair professionally styled — not just dry.
Great question — and it's an important distinction at Roots.
You leave with your hair fully dry to the touch. No styling — simply dried and ready to go. Perfect if you prefer to style at home or don't need a finished look.
You leave with your hair dry and professionally styled — smooth, polished, and appointment-ready. A step beyond the blow dry, with intentional finishing and shaping.
Both are available as add-ons at the time of booking. If you are unsure which is right for you, your practitioner is happy to help you decide.
Comfortable clothing is always the right call. We provide towels and protective coverings for the duration of your service, so there is no need to worry about your outfit. We do recommend leaving heavy jewelry and makeup at home for your own comfort throughout the session.
Planning your
visit
Roots is a private, one-on-one experience by design — because the level of attention and tranquility we deliver requires it. We are currently expanding to a second treatment suite, which will allow two guests to book simultaneously, with each service performed in its own private room.
No shared spaces, no compromised experience — just two people each receiving the full Roots treatment at the same time. Reach out to us directly for any group inquiries.
Book OnlineYes — once our second suite is complete, two guests will be able to book simultaneously while each enjoying their own fully private treatment room. Perfect for coming with a friend, a partner, or someone you want to treat. Each person receives their own personalized ritual with their own dedicated practitioner.
