“Absolutely amazing experience with Stacey on the 2 adults head spa joint session. She was very welcoming, lovely and had everything prepared for our arrival. Snacks and drinks were provided throughout, magazines too for the foot spa experience. Could not fault the head spa at all, we were given an overview of our scalp condition to begin with, then onto the bed with heated eye masks and a thorough session of scalp exfoliation, play therapy and massage. My friend and I both left (after care pack included) feeling the most relaxed we ever have after having had a treatment. 100% recommend and will absolutely be booking again. Thanks so much!”

“Just got home from the OG head spa experience. It was everything I expected and more. The room was beautiful and smelt divine, Stacey was attentive and chatted when I wanted to. The experience wow so relaxing i could feel myself relax with every breath I took. The products smelt out of this world and the sensations of the water and massage was just unreal. The warm cosy bed was the icing on the cake. A truly wonderful experience that I can't wait to relive again. Thank you so much Stacey for a truly relaxing experience that I desperately needed.”
“This was my first Head Spa experience and I can honestly say I highly recommend it. Stacy looked after me wonderfully and made me feel completely relaxed from the moment I arrived. The whole experience was really lovely, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and the treatment itself was absolutely amazing. Everything was done with great care and professionalism. I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you!”

“Booked in for a Japanese Head Spa for 2 adults for my mams birthday. I can’t express enough what an amazing experience we both had. It was so relaxing and peaceful and I couldn’t recommend enough. Stacy was so welcoming and so great at the treatment, we couldn’t believe how much we loved it! 😊 Thank you!”
