Head spas in Singapore
1. TTE Elephant
From Shanghai to Singapore, the newly opened TTE Elephant brings its popular flower head spa therapy to the CBD. The treatments aim to calm the mind and restore balance by blending Eastern wellness philosophies and modern scalp techniques. Stepping into the tranquil space, we started our 90-minute signature flower head spa experience ($198; first trial $108) with a quick scalp analysis before choosing our essential oil scent from a selection of lavender, geranium, and sweet orange.
After changing into a cloud-like top, we lay on a warm bed under fluffy blankets like a comfortable cocoon. The stresses of the week evaporated quickly as we underwent relaxing, deep breathing exercises. Next, we enjoyed a soothing shoulder and head massage that melted our worries away. By the time our therapist started the scalp wash and floral rinse, we were halfway through the door to dreamland.
If you’ve just had a rough week, this treatment is absolute bliss. You’ll unwind, slow down, and forget about the hectic busyness of life. Leaving with a fresh, clean scalp and scented hair worked wonders for our mental health, too! (Review by Benita Lee, Group Editor)

2. Head Spa by Goyo
Situated next to the buzzing reception of Bada Hair Salon, there’s a hidden oasis: Head Spa by Goyo. Their mantra is “A quiet escape from the everyday,” and honestly, they nailed it. One moment, the salon’s chatter surrounds you, and the next, you’re exhaling like you’ve just checked into a spa resort.
My therapist, Ploy, kicked things off with a quick scalp consultation (shoutout to my thinning strands for keeping it real). Next, we began the 90-minute Ayurveda Head Spa session ($180). It includes a welcome massage, soothing eye mask, detoxifying scalp gel, hot steam to open the pores, and a lush shampoo and conditioner. The highlight for me? The signature rain-shower for the scalp which was a gentle, seven-minute waterfall moment that melted my stress away.
What makes this treatment extra special is its restorative ingredients. Using Amla powder, aloe vera gel, and herbal infusions, the spa nourishes the scalp, strengthens follicles, and even stimulates hair growth. Add the heavenly head and shoulder massages, a nourishing hair mask, and a blissful hand massage, and you’ve got yourself a holistic treatment that’s equal parts therapy and indulgence.
The finale? A professional blow dry while you sip tea and nibble on snacks, feeling lighter, calmer, and ready to float back into reality (albeit a little grudgingly).

3. Lebell Sleep Salon
You know the saying, never judge a book by its cover? Lebell Sleep Salon is the perfect example. Tucked away in KAP Mall, this head spa only has three humble beds, but the service more than makes up for its size. I started my Lebell Signature treatment (90 minutes for $88 on weekdays, $95 on weekends) by picking my essential oil of choice (lavender, of course) before being ushered to my bed.
After changing, I plopped down – only to gasp in surprise. Heated beds? This is going to be a relaxing experience, I thought. The sound of Tibetan bowls singing replied, hell yes, their gentle vibrations melting me before the massage began.
The treatment unfolded like a dream: welcome massage, soothing oil therapy for the neck and shoulders, scalp gua sha, a heavenly head massage (I didn’t want it to end!), plus shampoo and conditioner to wash away the day. Just when I thought it couldn’t get better, in came a hand and arm massage, hot towel therapy, and even a hydrotherapy ring water treatment. It all wrapped up with a pro blow-dry and nourishing hair serum. I left with silky smooth locks, floating out feeling completely reborn. Plus, I departed 30 minutes later than my 90-minute treatment – proof that they really took their time to pamper me.

Key treatment: Lebell Signature
How much: from $58

Each session starts with a quick check-in on your scalp condition before the team uses techniques that ease tension, boost circulation, and leave your hair feeling lighter and healthier.
What we like most is the balance they strike between being professional and approachable. The space has a boutique vibe that instantly puts you at ease, while the stylists keep things personal and tailored.
