Rain Head Spa

Rain Head Spa is a Japanese head spa in Newburyport, Massachusetts, focused on scalp and hair health. The business describes itself as the premier Japanese head spa on the North Shore. Alongside its treatments, it offers haircuts, blow-dries and an add-on for exceptionally long hair.

Head spa treatments come in three levels. The Basic Service runs 60 minutes for $140. The Signature Full Service runs 90 minutes for $180 and is described as suited to thinning hair, alopecia and hair loss. The Dandruff Relief Full Service runs 100 minutes for $200 and is designed to address dandruff, itchy scalp, psoriasis and product buildup.

Each visit begins with a scalp analysis that includes a visual look at the hair follicles before and after treatment. The scalp then receives a dry massage with warm oil, a clarifying shampoo and a scrub, followed by a hydrating steamed mask with hair growth serums. The Signature and Dandruff Relief services finish with a warm hot-stone massage across the head, neck, arms and hands. Treatments are described as supporting detoxification, tension relief and better circulation.

The room is private, with fully reclined shampoo beds plumbed for fresh water. Aromatherapy, gentle lighting and soft music set the mood. Clients who prefer can use a styling station to blow-dry their own hair. Groups of friends book by calling or texting, and professional services can be added when booking online. After a treatment, the aftercare guidance is to wait at least 24 hours before washing hair.

Treatments are built around scalp and hair health, and the salon uses Briogeo products that are described as free of sulfates, silicones, phthalates, parabens, DEA and artificial dyes.
