AURA Japanese Head Spa

AURA Japanese Head Spa is a locally owned head spa in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, known for Japanese scalp treatments and face massage.

The Classic Japanese Head Spa (from $110) runs 60 minutes. It includes deep scalp cleansing, exfoliation, water and steam therapy, massage using Japanese techniques, a relaxing shampoo and rinse, and a basic blow-dry. The Classic Japanese Head Spa + Face Massage stretches to 90 minutes. It adds a hydrating hair and scalp treatment and a facial massage with natural oils. Both can be booked for two in the same quiet room, which suits couples, friends or a parent and child.

Reviewers consistently describe a calm, clean, nicely designed space and gentle, attentive staff. They say the scalp massage and shoulder work leave them deeply relaxed.

The spa says it works with all hair types, including thick, curly and sensitive scalps. It suits anyone dealing with a dry scalp, thinning hair, product buildup, or tension from desk work. Booking early is recommended, especially for weekends and two-person sessions. Digital and physical gift certificates are available.
