Sassi Head Spa

Sassi Head Spa in Winthrop, Massachusetts, is a scalp wellness spa known for calming head spa sessions with scalp therapy, massage and shampoo.

The spa takes a scalp-first approach and sees clients with dandruff and flaking, oily roots, dry or itchy scalps, thinning or shedding, and hard water buildup. Treatments start with the 40-minute Refresh (from $89), which includes two rounds of deep-cleaning shampoo, conditioner, a rinse and a cup of tea. Longer sessions add neck, shoulder and nape relaxation. The 90-minute Ultimate Bliss adds a steam eye mask, facial acupressure and a face cleanse. Nourish Wave and Luxe Curl are designed for curly hair, with a hair oil infusion. You can air-dry at a self-drying station or ask staff to dry your hair.

Reviewers describe a relaxing, calming atmosphere and attentive technicians. They mention warm water rinses, head, neck and face massage, and hair drying, and several call it good value. The spa also offers its own Sassi Care line of products for use at home.

It suits anyone with scalp concerns, curly-haired clients, and anyone who wants an hour or so of unhurried relaxation.
