Head Spa Nagomi

Head Spa Nagomi is a Japanese head spa in Beverly Hills, California, known for Zudo Academy-certified scalp techniques and a shiatsu neck and shoulder massage in every session.

The founder, Kazumi Maeda, trained under the founder of Zudo Academy in Japan and is also a certified Reiki master. The signature 60-minute Head Spa Nagomi (from $200) starts with a shiatsu shoulder and neck massage and herbal remedies chosen for concerns like dryness, oiliness, flakiness or itchiness. A nano mist steam, a gua sha jade comb scalp massage and a cascading waterfall head bath called Toshinyoku follow, with a healing crystal bowl playing in the background. It ends with an oxygen-infused leave-in serum.

Longer menus add more. The 75-minute Luxury includes a consultation with a scalp magnifier, and the 90-minute Royal focuses on scalp activation to support hair growth. The 90-minute Restorative Root Ritual is a scalp facial with a deeper consultation, suited to shedding, an itchy or inflamed scalp, buildup or stress-related scalp issues. Add-ons include Hair Grow Max, Deep Scalp Purification and Minecolla Hydrogen hair treatments, and a hair strand analysis is also offered.

Reviewers often praise the welcoming, attentive team, the calm and authentic Japanese atmosphere, and hair that feels softer and scalps that feel refreshed. It suits first-timers, people with scalp or hair-thinning concerns, and couples or groups looking for a special occasion treatment.
