Austin Head Spa

Austin Head Spa is a scalp-care studio in Austin, Texas, offering 45- to 120-minute head spa sessions with a detox soak, scrub and scalp massage.

The spa offers four session lengths, from a 45-minute refresher (from $120, with XL hair priced higher) to an immersive 120-minute experience. Treatments combine a detox soak, a clarifying scrub, a hydrating or nourishing mask, scalp massage and custom serums. Longer sessions add steam therapy. The 90-minute Experience also includes a scalp analysis, a gua sha with tonic mist and a complimentary hair wrap. The 120-minute session extends the massage to the shoulders and decollete with hot and cold therapy. The shortest session is recommended for short hair only. New guests can get 20% off a first visit, and gift cards are available.

Reviewers consistently describe a calm, clean studio, easy online booking and a friendly, attentive owner. Many call the scalp massage deeply relaxing, and some found it more releasing than a traditional massage. One guest with thin hair noticed extra lift at the roots after a session.

It suits first-timers, anyone looking for a quiet self-care hour, and people who want a deeply cleansed scalp or have scalp concerns.
