Your visit at Fairfield Japanese Head Spa is unhurried, sensory, and most guests would tell you one of the most genuinely relaxing hours of their month. Here is what to expect, start to finish.
Arrival
The treatment room is calm and peaceful. A comfortable, heated bed in the cooler months; gently air-conditioned in the warmer ones. We ask you to remove any jewellery for your comfort, and walk you through the treatment from start to finish so there are no surprises.
Your treatment
You lie back and settle into the heated bed. A heated eye mask is offered if you would like one and from this point on, the room goes quiet with just ambient relaxing music.
It begins with a warm scalp oil and a slow, deep head massage the kind of pressure that releases tension you did not know you were holding. A range of soft tools is woven in to amplify the sense of release, and the massage flows down through your shoulders, neck and upper back. The pace is deliberate, never rushed.
We move onto the scalp itself. A gentle exfoliating treatment lifts away product build-up and dryness, deepening in pressure gradually so your scalp feels truly clean for what comes next.
Then comes our two-stage shampoo cleanse. The first is worked into the scalp with our scalp brushes. The second is foamy and generous, massaged into the hair.
A nourishing conditioning mask is applied next, and as it soaks in under gentle steam, on longer treatments your arms and hands are massaged in long, slow strokes from fingertips to shoulders. By this point, time has lost meaning.
After the steam, we cool you down with chilled Jade stone combs and a spray a fine floral mist that provides a lifting sensation. Our advanced scalp massager finishes the work, vibrating gently across the scalp to leave you deeply relaxed. (On a 90+minute booking you would also receive a express facial)
We finish with your choice: a leave-in treatment for nourished, glossy hair, or a quick rough blow-dry if you would rather walk straight back into your day.
Most guests leave moving a little slower than they arrived and tell us they sleep better that night than they have in weeks.
