Head Spa in Washington, DC: Studio Chique's Head Spa Menu and Prices (2026)

Studio Chique ~ Luxury Salon & Wellness Spa in Northeast Washington lists eight head spa and scalp treatments on its menu, from $80 to $279. This guide explains what a head spa is, lays out each option with its price and time, and covers how to choose between them.

What is a head spa?

A head spa is a scalp-focused treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation and massage of the scalp, usually followed by a wash and conditioning of the hair. The style is often linked to Japanese head spas, which made the long, unhurried scalp massage the centre of the service. Unlike a shampoo before a haircut, the scalp is the treatment itself: sessions commonly run 45 to 90 minutes and are booked for relaxation as much as for the scalp.

Most head spa menus differ in three ways: how long the massage portion runs, whether the focus is cleansing (removing product build-up and oil) or conditioning, and what is added around the scalp work, such as steam, herbal rinses or a facial element.

Studio Chique's head spa menu

The menu falls into three groups:

Which head spa to book

For a first visit, the Classic Head Spa Therapy Reset is the natural starting point: it is the shortest full head spa on the menu, at 45 minutes, and gives you a sense of the format before you commit to a longer session.

If your scalp feels oily or weighed down by product, a treatment framed around cleansing, such as the Deep Clean Scalp Detox Therapy™, matches what you are looking for. Ask what the detox step involves, since methods vary from spa to spa.

If the goal is time to unwind, the 90-minute options, the Herbal Scalp Renewal Head Spa and the Immersion experience, give the most time on the table. Immersion is positioned as the full wellness version of the service.

If you want a shorter treat, the two scalp facials run 45 minutes each and are the lowest-priced options on the menu.

If you are pregnant, the menu includes a dedicated Maternity Head Spa Therapy. Check with your doctor first, and tell the spa how far along you are and about any conditions when you book.

What to ask when you book

How a head spa compares with a scalp massage add-on

A scalp massage add-on during a shampoo usually lasts a few minutes. A head spa is a standalone appointment built around the scalp, so the time and price reflect a full treatment rather than an extra. If you mainly want a few minutes of massage before a cut or style, an add-on is the simpler choice. If you want a dedicated, unhurried session, book a head spa.
