LKJ Heavenly Head Spa with Scalp Treatment
90min, $240 Leekaja Beauty Salon, #03-13 Mandarin Gallery, tel: 8133-0818
For a top-down approach to stress relief, try out this indulgent head trip. Not only does it deep-cleanse the scalp and help prevent hair loss, it also promises health benefits like improved sleep quality and blood circulation, and the easing of muscle tension.
Done in the comfort of a massage chair, you are first relaxed with a 10min neck and shoulder massage. Your scalp is then analysed with a scanner before the shampoo. A warming primer is applied to open up pores and cleanse the scalp, then a nourishing gel for the hair follicles.
A 10-15min head massage is next, during which warm mist is directed at your scalp to stimulate blood circulation. The relaxing and comforting effects are likely to get you snoozing.
The final steps: a spray to seal in nutrients, a moisturising and repairing treatment, a scalp essence and a cooling tonic spray for a feeling of immense freshness. A blow-dry caps off the ritual.
Goldwell Kerasilk Keratin Treatment
120min, $298++ Chez Vous: Hideaway, #14-04 Ngee Ann City Tower B, tel: 6219-3558
The treatment turns fizzy, unruly locks perfectly soft and sleek, and its effects last for up to three months. Come 20min prior to enjoy the complimentary facilities: a massage chair, an O2emitting machine (inhale deeply to relax), and an LED light treatment for your scalp.
The session kicks off with a blissful head massage and shampoo, after which actives are applied to combat frizz, repair damage and enhance shine. To round off, a mask with hyaluronic acid and ceramides, and a hydrolysed silk serum to seal in nutrients.
Other spa-like touches include a Swedish scalp rejuvenation massage, and a shoulder massage with hot shoulder pads before the final blow-styling.
