Beauty By K

Beauty By K Salon & Head Spa operates from suites 126, 127 and 128 at Image Studios in Grand Rapids. The salon describes itself as the premier head spa in the city, and its menu centers on scalp and hair care, with facials, a foot soak and mobile visits alongside.

Each head spa visit starts with a consultation in which the scalp is examined at 500X magnification. The session then includes shampooing and conditioning, a massage of the head, neck and shoulders, and optional masks, serums or oils, finished with a light blow-dry. Sessions run 45 to 90 minutes depending on the package, and a full blow-dry and style can be added. The salon describes the experience as Japanese-inspired and says its head spa treatments support hair growth and help calm the mind.

Personalized scalp treatments are offered for concerns such as dandruff, eczema and psoriasis. Services are intended for relaxation and hair care only, and cosmetologists do not diagnose or treat conditions or give medical advice. Traditional head spa services that involve hair and scalp care are performed by licensed cosmetologists, as Michigan law requires. Dry head spa services do not include hair washing or scalp care, so they fall outside that requirement.

Facials include the Signature Facial, a customized treatment focused on hydration, renewal and a healthy glow, and the Elevated Back Facial, which cleanses, exfoliates and refreshes the skin of the back. The Foot Soak uses a hand-hammered copper bowl with SpaRitual botanicals and is aimed at relaxation. It is not a traditional pedicure, so nail trimming, cuticle work and polish are not included.

Head spa pricing starts at $125 per person for the Relaxation, Dry and group sessions, $200 for the Deluxe and $250 for the Signature. Add-ons are available. Services are offered to men, women and children, with no extra charge for hair length, type or texture. Separate children's services are not offered, and every guest receives the same personalized service. Monthly membership includes one signature treatment each month, with member discounts on add-ons, professional skincare and the refill station. Group sessions for two or more guests can be tailored, and group bookings are confirmed through direct inquiry rather than online selection. Mobile spa service for events and parties is requested by email with dates, times, group size and location.

Deposits can be applied to another day if a cancellation is made within 48 hours of an appointment but are not refunded. Cancelling within 23 hours is charged the full service fee, and same-day cancellations and no-shows are charged the full service.

Focuses on relaxation and on scalp and hair care, starting each head spa visit with a consultation. Maintenance head spa visits are generally recommended every 6 to 8 weeks.
