1. TTE Elephant
From Shanghai to Singapore, TTE Elephant introduces its popular flower head spa therapy to our city. The treatments aim to calm the mind and restore balance by blending Eastern wellness philosophies and modern scalp techniques.
Stepping into the tranquil space at its CBD outlet, I started my 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, I lay on a warm bed under fluffy blankets like a comfortable cocoon. The stresses of the week evaporated quickly as I underwent relaxing, deep breathing exercises. Next, I enjoyed a soothing shoulder and head massage that melted my worries away. By the time my therapist started the scalp wash and floral rinse, I was 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 my mental health, too! P.S. at $108 for first-timers, this is one of the more affordable head spas in Singapore.

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 as if you’ve just checked into a spa resort.
My therapist kicked things off with a quick scalp consultation (shoutout to my thinning strands for keeping it real). Then, 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: 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, 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).
Best for: A scalp retreat that feels like a holiday for your head
Key treatment: Ayurveda Head Spa ($180)

3. Kolorist
Hidden in a corner of Orchard Gateway, Kolorist is a Korean-inspired wellness destination that invites you into its serene space away from the crowds. Enveloped by the calming environment from the moment I stepped in, I knew we were off to a good start.
My 3-in-1 Signature Head Spa session ($188, U.P. $218) kicked off with a scalp analysis by a friendly therapist before I sank into the plush Takara Belmont salon seat. From there, the session unfolded in four unhurried stages. I started with aromatherapy and a face-and-shoulder massage that banished my worries. A warm compress and organic lavender eye mask were the cherry on top.
The headline act? A deep scalp cleansing ritual: replenishing wash, head node combing to stimulate circulation, the iconic rainshower waterfall moment, and a hot steam ion treatment. The face spa component – Korean double cleansing with a gentle massage – ran through it all, so you’re essentially enjoying a relaxing facial while your scalp gets its moment of glory.
To end, I sipped on warm tea while my locks were blow-dried to perfection. After leaving with a cleaner scalp and a post-treatment calm that usually only arrives after a weekend getaway, Kolorist has convinced me to add regular head spa treatments to my routine. (Review by Benita Lee, Group Editor)

4. Jo:Hwa Head Spa
Step into Jo:Hwa Head Spa and it’ll feel like slipping away into a tranquil forest retreat. We’re talking soothing sounds, gentle aromatherapy, and restorative treatments that don’t just pamper your scalp. Unlike a standard hair wash, the experience is designed to calm the mind, rejuvenate the scalp, and leave your hair healthier, shinier, and full of volume.
Each session is a one-on-one customised program, beginning with a detailed scalp diagnosis before certified spa managers recommend and perform a tailored treatment. Using the Chrono-Beauty technique, an advanced anti-ageing method that improves blood circulation and relaxes scalp fascia, Jo:Hwa offers results that go far beyond relaxation. Though on the pricier side (treatments start from $150 for a 45-minute session), you’ll leave with a squeaky clean scalp.

Key treatment: Chapter Two: ‘Growth’ ($250)

5. Mes Maison
Tucked away in Outram, Mes Maison is the kind of salon that feels effortlessly chic without trying too hard. Beyond the stylish cuts and colours, it’s the Scalp Care & Head Spa treatments that caught our attention. 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. Go for the Mes Stress Detoxify head spa option ($118) to enjoy a scalp treatment, a head massage, and a breezy wash and blow service.
