Gili Head Spa

Gili Head Spa is a botanical-focused head spa in New York, New York, known for its Face & Scalp Botanical Ritual and calming scalp care.

The spa's menu is built around "rituals." Guests describe the Face & Scalp Botanical Ritual as a sequence that moves from a botanical cleanse to halo water therapy, an herbal tea pour, a luminous facial and a long, soothing head massage. Reviewers also mention a petal head spa, and some pair the scalp work with a facial. Aromas and natural products are part of the experience, and the practitioner explains what each herbal step does as she goes.

Reviewers often praise the space as peaceful, sophisticated and carefully designed, and they describe the staff as warm, professional and well trained. One guest with a sensitive scalp felt well looked after. Another with long, curly hair said a mask made detangling easy.

It suits anyone who wants a slow, sensory scalp and face treatment, and people who want a gentle approach for sensitive scalps or textured hair. The entrance is easy to miss. One guest noted it is a black gate to the left of a residential building, where you ring the doorbell and are met at the door.
