Lulu Head Spa

Lulu Head Spa is a head spa at 304 S. Route 59 in Naperville, Suite 112. The business describes its aim as refining the holistic spa experience, and its menu is organized around the scalp: head spa sessions, scalp treatments, facials, blowouts, and a hair restoration service.

A visit typically starts with a microscopic scalp analysis, which guides how the session is tailored. Head spa sessions can include herb-infused scalp and hair oil, steam, scalp massage, exfoliation, a double cleanse, deep conditioning, a strengthening hair mask, and waterfall hydrotherapy. Sessions finish with a fenugreek scalp toner, a natural vegan hair mist, and a light neck, shoulder, and hand massage. Technicians are described as experienced with all hair types, from fine and thick to curly, wavy, and porous, and focus mainly on the scalp.

Scalp treatments are offered in several lengths. Express Head Spa is a 30-minute session suited to guests with shoulder-length hair or shorter. Customized Head Spa comes in 30, 60, and 90-minute versions. The longer options add steam cap therapy, neck and shoulder massage, and a self-serve dry bar, and the 90-minute session also includes a bentonite clarifying mud mask and red light therapy. A 25-minute iRestore Red Light Therapy session uses Lumitech red light on the scalp with a heated neck wrap; the business describes this service as clinically proven and its design as patented, claims presented here as the business's own.

Derive Hair Restoration is an in-office option priced at $458 that uses plant-based exosomes derived from stem cells, applied without needles, incisions, or downtime. It can be done alone or with a head spa session, and it is offered to both men and women. The business generally recommends a series of three treatments spaced a month apart, with up to six for more extensive hair loss, followed by occasional touch-ups. A 30-day supply of hair growth serum for home use is included.

Facial care includes a 30-minute acupressure facial massage, a 30-minute customized facial with a double cleanse, exfoliation, and a targeted mask chosen for skin type, and a 45-minute facial cupping service using small silicone cups. Blowouts range from a sectioned, smoothed blow dry of up to 45 minutes, to a voluminous curled style of up to 60 minutes, to a textured blow dry or silk press of up to 90 minutes. Guests have access to a complimentary self-service dry bar with blow dryers, diffusers, and an air wrap, stocked with Briogeo and Amika styling products.

The space includes a relaxation lounge where guests can check in and wait, with heated neck wraps and herbal hair growth tea offered after service and during group visits. Guests are asked to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early and to keep phone use to a minimum during their visit. Bookings can be made online through Vagaro, including from a phone, and a credit card is needed to reserve. A non-refundable 30% deposit is collected for every service. Changes need to be made by calling the spa, and cancelling or rescheduling with at least 48 hours' notice avoids the fee, while shorter notice or a late arrival of more than 15 minutes is charged at the full service price. Guests are asked to disclose medical conditions, medications, allergies, sensitivities, and pregnancy, since some services may not be suitable. Services are not performed on guests with braids or sew-ins, scalp or skin infections, scalp sunburn, or recent surgery. Guests who have had chemical services within a week may see color or keratin lift, so waiting at least 7 days after a hair treatment is suggested. Minors need a parent or guardian to sign a waiver, and guests under 12 are limited to 30-minute services.

The business offers mobile wellness spa parties at a home, business, or event, which can include dry head spa, facial acupressure massage, chair massage, and sound bowl healing. Gift cards are sold as e-gift cards only, purchased online, by phone, or in person.

Sessions open with a scalp analysis and focus mainly on the scalp, and each guest is matched with a technician whose style suits them. The business says it uses products made from ingredients it considers trustworthy and follows clean, sustainable haircare practices.
