Reflections Hair & Wellness

Reflections Hair & Wellness has served Crystal Lake since 2005. It describes its mission as a peaceful, uplifting space where clients can relax, renew and realign. Hair services sit alongside energy-based offerings, so one visit can cover a cut or color as well as a Reiki session or acupuncture.

The head spa is one of the more detailed offerings. Treatments are customized to each client's scalp and hair needs and use premium products. The business says its plumbed unit uses only fresh, clean water. The 60-minute Scalp Renewal Experience ($160) includes microscope scalp and hair analysis, scalp brushing and massage, an exfoliating treatment, Fresh Water Halo Hydrotherapy, a customized hair mask, a tea rinse and a blow-dry. The longer Serenity, Tranquility and Divine Renewal experiences add hand, neck, shoulder and face massage, extended massage time, and a hot stone massage and lymphatic-inspired facial massage. Add-ons include hot stones, a paraffin or HydraFin hand treatment, a face mask, lymphatic drainage face massage and 15 minutes of Reiki. The business describes head spa as a wellness treatment, not a medical one, and not a cure for hair loss, scalp disease or migraines. Discounted monthly memberships are available.

Energy sessions include Traditional Usui Reiki, Five Element Dragon Fire Reiki, Holy Fire III Reiki and Access Bars, a light-touch session on 32 points of the head that is offered by application only. Most Reiki sessions last an hour, and first-time clients are advised to book at least that long. Clients stay fully clothed except for shoes. Sessions are typically given on a massage table, or in a chair if lying down is uncomfortable. Essential oils are diffused in the room unless a client has a sensitivity. The business encourages at least three one-hour sessions over three consecutive weeks, followed by a reevaluation and an ongoing care plan, and many clients then book from twice a week to monthly for maintenance. Reiki is not crisis support and does not replace medical or mental health care.

Appointments are preferred, and walk-ins are welcome when availability allows. Cancellations or reschedules need at least 24 hours' notice to avoid the full service fee. Late arrivals receive a shortened service with no fee change. Prices are starting prices, can change without notice, and do not include gratuity. Reiki packages are paid in full at booking and are non-refundable and non-transferable. Accepted payment methods are checks, cash, Zelle, Mastercard, Visa and Discover, and gift certificates are available for any service. Waxing is not advised for clients using certain acne treatments such as Retin-A, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, alpha hydroxy products, chemical peels, bleaching creams or antibiotics, or who have used them in the past 30 days. Clients should avoid tanning 24 hours before or after waxing. Staff do not answer calls during sessions, so clients can leave a message or text. Online hours show appointment availability and may vary.

The salon aims to create a calm, uplifting space for clients to relax, renew and realign, pairing hair services with energy-based wellness. Head spa is presented as a wellness treatment rather than a medical one.
