The Water Lab

The Water Lab is a head spa in Powell, Ohio, known for relaxing, Japanese-inspired scalp treatments with a mini facial and a complimentary get-ready station.

Reviewers describe a signature scalp treatment of about 75 minutes. The scalp is massaged and stimulated in several ways and treated with specialty products. Visits also include a mini facial and a neck and shoulder massage. Guests mention a scalp analysis before and after the session, plus a range of tools and essential oils used to stimulate and cleanse the scalp. Several describe the setting as clean, cozy and chic, with soothing sounds and scents, and some say they were relaxed enough to doze off.

What sets The Water Lab apart is the get-ready station afterward. Reviewers say it has hair dryers, straighteners, makeup and hair products to use, so you can leave ready for dinner or a night out. Guests also consistently praise the practitioner, Chasity, as welcoming and skilled, and say she explains each step before she begins.

The Water Lab suits anyone who wants a calming, restorative scalp treatment, including people trying a head spa for the first time and those who want to look polished right after.
