A+AHead spa

A+AHead spa is a head spa and massage studio in New York, New York, known for Japanese-style scalp washes and affordable, relaxing treatments.

The head spa menu centers on two 60-minute treatments: the Japanese style Scalp Detox Wash, which the spa describes as helping with itching, dandruff and hair loss, and the Japanese style Scalp Meridian Wellness Wash, aimed at headaches, insomnia and fatigue. Each is listed from $68. Many visitors pair a wash with a back massage, foot massage or facial in one of the spa's combo packages, and add-ons such as cupping, hot stones, hot compress, gua sha and ear cleaning are available.

Beyond the scalp work, the menu includes Japanese-style massage, back and foot massage, and several facials, including whitening, acne-clearing and hydrating options. Some of the packages include essential oil back massage.

Reviewers describe a clean, welcoming space and gentle, attentive staff who check in on pressure and use a variety of tools and techniques. Several mention feeling deeply relaxed, and one first-time guest was given a complimentary blow-dry at the end. It suits anyone who wants a head spa or a full relaxation session in Manhattan without a high price, including first-timers.
