The head spa trend is transforming salons around the world — blending wellness, beauty, and relaxation into one luxurious experience. For stylists and salon owners, introducing a head spa can mean more than happy clients — it can significantly increase your revenue and elevate your brand image.
Why Head Spas Are Worth the Hype
A head spa treatment focuses on deep scalp cleansing, stress relief, and circulation improvement through gentle massage, steam, and aromatherapy. Beyond pampering, it helps with scalp buildup, oil imbalance, and hair loss prevention — all while offering a moment of calm that today’s clients crave. Most importantly, clients are willing to pay premium prices for this kind of experience. It positions your salon as a modern, full-service destination for both beauty and well-being.
The Revenue Impact: Small Service, Big Returns
Head spa services are one of the most profitable additions to a salon menu.
Typical Service Fees:
- Add-on treatment: $45–$75 (15–30 minutes)
- Standalone session: $85–$150
Example ROI:
Offering just 5 head spa services per day at $65 could bring in over $8,000 per month — without adding more staff or major remodeling. Combine that with retail sales (like scalp serums or oils), and your margins grow even higher.
These services fill mid-day schedule gaps and keep clients returning regularly for maintenance and relaxation.
Two Easy Ways to Incorporate a Head Spa
1. Add a Head Spa Attachment to Your Existing Shampoo Chair
If you already have a backwash unit, a head spa attachment or add-on system is the perfect starting point. It integrates directly with your existing shampoo bowl, allowing stylists to perform scalp massages and treatments without expanding your floor plan.
Benefits:
- Minimal investment
- Compact and easy setup
- Great for smaller salons or multi-use spaces

For salons ready to offer a dedicated luxury service, an all-in-one head spa unit with massage, steam, and reclining comfort creates an unforgettable client experience.
Benefits:
- Full sensory experience (massage, aroma, and mist)
- Premium pricing opportunities
- Instagram-worthy design feature
