Charleston Head Spa

Charleston Head Spa is a Japanese-inspired head spa and facial studio in Charleston, South Carolina, best known for its 60-minute Signature Head Spa.

The Signature Head Spa (from $165) starts with a scalp analysis and personalized treatment plan, then moves into water and steam therapy, a mini facial, massage, a deep cleanse and an intensive scalp and hair conditioning treatment. It does not include a blowout. The VIP option adds a full facial and a professional blow dry and style. The Coil Care Experience is designed for natural and textured hair, especially 3C-4C, and puts the full hour on scalp and hair. Locs are welcome if you mention them when booking.

Reviewers describe a calm, tidy space in a remodeled building, attentive therapists who explain each step and take time to answer questions, and a scalp massage so relaxing that some people fall asleep. Several mention that their hair felt clean and soft afterward. The spa also notes it is a Milbon spa and uses GlyMed Plus for skincare. Some rooms fit two guests, which works well for a friend or partner visit, and the spa asks that groups of two or more call to book.

It suits first-timers who want a guided experience, people with curls or coils, and anyone who wants to pair scalp care with a facial.
