Relax and Release Shampoo and Sleep Spa

Relax and Release Shampoo and Sleep Spa in Huntsville, Alabama, is a small spa known for unhurried Japanese head spa treatments and long, relaxing shampoos.

Reviewers describe a Japanese head spa that pairs warm water with a slow, attentive scalp massage, often with a shoulder massage added in. One guest described a 30-minute shampoo that left her feeling refreshed and reset. Many visitors combine the head spa with other treatments, such as a facial, a foot massage, or a body massage. One package mentioned in reviews included a facial, head massage and shampoo, foot massage, and a fresh blow-dry. One guest also added a needle-free allergy test.

Guests say the staff take their time, tailor the visit to what each person needs, and sometimes work as a pair. Reviewers also mention a clean space that smells lovely, and the owner marking birthdays with balloons and a card.

The spa suits friends on a girls' trip, anyone celebrating a birthday, and people who want a quiet, restorative treatment instead of a quick wash and style.
