Elite YUME Japanese Head Spa

Elite YUME Japanese Head Spa in Herndon, Virginia, is known for microscope-guided scalp analysis and care for thinning hair on a Japanese YUME spa bed.

Every visit begins with a high-definition scan of the scalp under a microscope that magnifies up to 200×. Technicians look for buildup, clogged follicles, dehydration and excess sebum, then repeat the scan afterward so you can compare before and after images. The treatment takes place on a Takara Belmont YUME Spa bed with a waterfall basin. It starts with an ultrasonic mist, followed by exfoliation, double cleansing and aromatic rinses. Milbon serums and conditioners are applied, along with massage for the scalp, neck and shoulders.

The menu includes the Elite Signature (60 minutes), a longer Elite Premium (90 minutes) and a 45-minute Elite eXPRESS, from $115. Men's Signature and Men's eXPRESS options include a blow dry with styling product. The spa also offers scalp analysis on its own, with no spa service required, and scalp-focused support for thinning hair.

Reviewers describe a calm, attentive experience. They mention clear explanations of each step, relief in tense shoulders, products that aren't heavily scented, and hair that looks fuller and healthier. One noted that the space is small. It suits anyone who wants a relaxing treat with a science-based look at their scalp.
