After seeing head spas go viral all over social media, I wanted to find out if they really live up to the hype — and it turns out the ultimate bestie day out in London might just be a trip to get your scalp revamped.
Think full relaxation, proper pampering, and a reset that leaves you floating out the door. And while it is perfect for friends, it also works just as well for partners or even family if you’re after a shared wind-down moment in the city at Esthetique Headspa Fulham Broadway.
Tucked inside Hair Bian, the space feels like a calm escape the second you walk in. The buzz of London disappears almost instantly, replaced with soft lighting, gentle scents and a vibe that makes you slow down without even trying.
The experience is designed for two people in the same room, so you go through the journey side by side.
It starts with a consultation and scalp analysis, where your therapist tailors everything to your hair and scalp needs. Premium organic products are then chosen before the treatment properly begins.
The standout moment comes early with Japanese waterfall therapy, a soothing water technique that feels unusual at first but quickly becomes one of the most relaxing parts of the entire experience. From there, things only get better.
You’re guided into a slow aromatherapy head massage that works through the scalp, neck and shoulders, easing tension you didn’t even realise you were holding. This flows into an upper arm and shoulder massage, keeping everything calm, gentle and unhurried.
A mini facial and face massage add an extra layer of indulgence, making it feel more like a full wellness ritual than just a hair treatment. Then comes a deep shampoo, conditioning treatment and nourishing hair mask, leaving hair feeling fresh, soft and completely revived.
The experience we tried was the Couples Japanese Headspa Deluxe with Mini Facial at Esthetique Headspa Fulham Broadway, lasting around 75 minutes, and it is as restorative as it sounds.
To finish, there is an express blow dry so you leave looking polished as well as relaxed.
Esthetique Head Spa focuses on non-invasive, tailored treatments that enhance natural beauty, and that philosophy runs through every step.
Whether you go with your best mate, partner or family member, it is the kind of London experience that genuinely resets you from the inside out.
