Yu Head SPA & Wellness Center

Yu Head SPA & Wellness Center, LLC is a scalp spa and wellness center on the third floor of a building at 8789 Highland Dr. in Sandy, with free parking behind the building. The listed hours run from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and the center is closed on Mondays. Phone is (435) 432-8888 and email is YuScalpSPA@GMAIL.COM.

The center's Scalp SPA treatments begin with a scalp analysis and then a customized plan. Sessions can include a head and neck massage, and may draw on Chinese herbal remedies, acupuncture points, aromatherapy, steam, light therapy and ambient sound. The business describes these treatments as relaxing and rejuvenating and says they have recently gained attention on social media.

The scalp analysis uses microscope imaging to look at the scalp and offer recommendations. It is complimentary with the 3-Bath and 5-Bath Scalp SPA treatments. The business is clear that it does not give medical diagnoses. The 3-Bath Scalp SPA runs about 60 minutes and uses a three-bath process with herbal ingredients, including Fleeceflower Root, Rehmannia Root and Chinese Angelica Root, along with head massage. The 5-Bath Scalp SPA runs about 75 minutes across five baths and is meant to deep-clean the hair follicles and support hair growth.

The herbal baths are inspired by traditional remedies and are made from selected herbs. Each is simmered for three hours. The Scalp Detox bath combines more than 20 Chinese herbs and is said to help clean the scalp and ease dandruff and itching. The Hair Strengthening and Stress Relief bath uses more than 20 herbs, including He Shou Wu, Dang Gui and lily bulbs, and is described as suited to hair loss, gray hair, dry or damaged hair, or tiredness and stress. The Hair Growth and Relaxation bath uses more than 20 herbs, including fresh ginger, Dang Gui and Dang Shen, and is intended to encourage hair growth, support relaxation and sleep, and reduce stress.

The Steam Treatment add-on uses moist heat to open hair follicles and pores, cleanse product buildup and hydrate the hair. Clients with conditions such as eczema or psoriasis are advised to speak with a doctor before a scalp steam treatment. Booking requires an advance appointment, though walk-ins are accepted. Appointments can be made up to 30 days ahead, and a credit card holds the reservation with no charge until after the service. Group bookings are made by choosing Group Appointment and adding each guest after selecting a service. Digital gift cards are sold through Fresha in amounts of $100, $150, $250, $500 or a custom amount.

The center's philosophy draws on traditional herbal remedies, with treatments that are customized after a scalp analysis.
