Info
It is recommended to get a Japanese head spa treatment once a month to coincide with the scalps natural renewal cycle of approximately 28 days.
Maintaining a monthly Japanese head spa treatment helps to promote fuller hair and hair growth through a healthier scalp, whilst contributing to a better well-being and feeling of calm and relaxation.
Monthly appointments are recommended for those with mild tension in the body, stress and aches and pains. Or of those wanting relaxation.
Fortnightly appointments are recommended for those suffering with chronic pains, sports injuries, posture issues or high stress.
With each appointment I will happily recommend when your next treatment is best for you, after your consultation and treatment.
it is recommended to get a facial every 4 to 6 weeks following the skins natural renewal cycle of approximately every 28 to 40 days.
This helps to maintain the skins hydration and repairing of the skins barrier if damaged, all whilst helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, pigmentation, dark spots and acne scarring.
Regular facial appointments also help with smoothing skin texture by removing congestion in the skin, reducing puffiness in the face and creating a more balanced skin tone.
Reviews
Heather is just amazing! A full on whole body hot stones massage rounded off with a superb scalp massage - I was floating and feeling amazing - highly recommend
Nigel Venables
I have been to see Heather for a few treatments now & each one is just as good as the other! The back, next & shoulder massage was super relaxing. The lymphatic drainage massage on the chin & legs was so good. I could have fallen asleep. Heather talks you through each session & aftercare in depth x
Michelle Ferrie
I had a facial, eyelash lift, and eyebrow tint today and I’m very happy with the results! The whole experience was relaxing from start to finish. The therapist was incredibly friendly, professional, and super helpful — she explained everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout. My skin feels amazing, my lashes look beautifully lifted, and my brows are the perfect shade. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Teresa Van Oevelen
Heather's treatments are incredible! From the moment you arrive the scene is set for a period of calm. The quality of the treatments are at a high-end level with the use of modern techniques, and extra touches to make the experience feel that of a premium spa. I had the best night sleep ever after a lymphatic drainage massage, and the new head spa was a fabulous experience.

Had a Japanese Head Spa at Calming Therapies and it was incredibly relaxing — exactly what I needed after a long week. Heather really went the extra mile with the additional touches to the service. Honestly the best around. Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful experience at Calming Essence Spa. I chose the Japanese Indulgent Head Spa, and the treatment was incredibly relaxing. The camera results afterward showed just how much it improved my scalp. Heather immediately put me at ease, and I’m already looking forward to my next treatment.

Another amazing hot stone back massage, Heather is so calming, welcoming and friendly, and always tailors the massage to my troublesome areas. The best 45 minute escape, in her new little tranquil room. Easy to find and plenty of parking. Already booking for my next visit 🥰
