Soul Massage Head Spa

Soul Massage Head Spa is a women-owned Japanese head spa and massage studio in Kirkland, Washington, known for a Milbon-based scalp ritual that ends with a blow-dry.

The Kirkland studio is one of four in the Seattle area and shares the same menu and prices as the others. The Signature Head Spa runs 60 minutes and includes a Milbon shampoo cleanse, a detoxifying scalp exfoliant, head, neck and shoulder massage, a conditioner treatment and warm hydrotherapy. It finishes with a Dyson blow-dry and Moroccan hair oil, though not styling. Prices start at $78 for the Signature when paying cash. Three 90-minute rituals go further:

• Luxury Head Spa, which opens with a 30-minute upper-body massage and includes aromatherapy
• Chinese Herb Head Spa, with herbal-tea hydrotherapy and hair steam
• Deep Clean Scalp Head Spa, for oil, buildup and product residue

Sessions take place in private rooms, and guests fill out a short form about their scalp and preferred pressure. Reviewers describe the space as simple but clean and welcoming, with attentive staff and a very relaxing scalp massage.

The studio also offers full-body and couples massage, plus Comfort Zone facials, including a Gentleman's facial. Combo packages pair head spa with massage or a facial. It suits first-timers, people with oily or product-heavy scalps, and anyone who wants a head spa, massage and facial in a single visit.
