Head Spa in Lawrence, KS
A head spa is a scalp-focused session: a hair and scalp cleanse, scalp care, warm water and steam therapy, a long slow scalp massage, neck, shoulder, arm and hand relaxation, then a scalp analysis. At Ten Toes the Signature Head Spa is 60 minutes for $130, the Traditional Herbal Infusion is 60 minutes for $149, and Ultimate Renewal is 90 minutes for $179 — seven days a week, 9 am to 9:30 pm.
Head spa in Lawrence, KS is still a young category, and honestly the term means slightly different things depending on where you read about it. Here's what it means at Ten Toes Reflexology on Clinton Parkway: it's a scalp-focused ritual with 6 stages — a hair and scalp cleanse, targeted scalp care, warm water and steam therapy, a long slow scalp massage, neck, shoulder, arm and hand relaxation, and a scalp analysis at the end. The menu runs on 3 tiers, and they're best read in order: Signature Head Spa — 60 min · $130, Traditional Herbal Infusion Head Spa — 60 min · $149, and Ultimate Renewal — 90 min · $179. You're not getting a haircut, a color or any kind of medical scalp treatment. You're getting a full hour built entirely around the head, run by a licensed therapist who's spent years learning how the scalp holds tension. Our step-by-step head spa guide walks through all 6 stages before you book.
Signature Head Spa — 60 min · $130. This is the complete experience, and it's the one most first-timers should book. The hour opens with a warm hair and scalp cleanse, moves into scalp care chosen for your scalp type, then water and steam therapy that softens everything before a hand touches the crown. The centerpiece is roughly 25 to 30 minutes of slow scalp massage — occipital ridge, crown, temples, hairline — moving to a new section about every 90 seconds, followed by neck, shoulder, arm and hand relaxation and a closing scalp analysis so you leave knowing what your scalp is actually doing. At $130 it's about what a 90-minute body massage costs in Lawrence, and it's a genuinely different category of rest: most guests tell us it's the closest they've come to a session that settles the mind and the body in the same hour.
Traditional Herbal Infusion Head Spa — 60 min · $149. A nourishing scalp and hair ritual inspired by traditional Chinese herbal wellness. It's built on carefully selected botanicals from Yunnan, China, slowly prepared into a warm herbal infusion and worked into the head spa experience. Combined with deep scalp cleansing, warm steam, soothing scalp massage and nourishing hair care, this ritual deeply conditions the scalp and roots while supporting a healthier scalp environment for stronger, fuller-looking, healthier-feeling hair. Perfect for thinning-looking hair, weak or dry hair, a stressed scalp, root nourishment, and hair and scalp wellness generally. It's $19 over the Signature, which is why it's the tier most guests move up to once they've tried the first one — the treatment time is the same 60 minutes, the herbal infusion is what changes.
Ultimate Renewal — 90 min · $179. Thirty more minutes and $30 more than the Herbal, and the extra half hour is where it earns the price: on top of a fuller head spa and hair care sequence, the session adds an upper-body lymphatic massage and a facial. Scalp, face, neck, shoulders and upper back all get attention in one 90-minute window instead of 3 separate bookings, which is why it's the tier people choose for birthdays, anniversaries and the visit before a wedding. If you want the single most complete thing on our menu, this is it — there isn't a bigger booking on the board. Nourish the scalp, strengthen the foundation, reveal healthier-looking, fuller hair — that's the whole idea of the top tier.
Two shorter sessions sit below the head spa tiers, and we're deliberate about not calling either one a head spa. Scalp Therapy Ritual — 30 min · $65 is quick scalp maintenance: a focused cleanse and scalp work in half an hour, good between full rituals or on a lunch break, but it doesn't include the full steam, hair care and analysis sequence. Head & Sinus Relief — 45 min · $65 is a dry treatment with no hair washing at all — you stay fully clothed, your hair stays dry, and the 45 minutes go to the head, temples, sinus area, neck and shoulders. It's the right pick if you came in with a heavy head, a desk-week neck, or you simply don't want wet hair before dinner. Everything's at 3514 Clinton Parkway, Suite F, with free parking outside the suite and walk-ins welcome 9 AM to 9:30 PM, all 7 days.
One honest limit, because it matters on this page. The herbal ritual's built to condition the scalp and hair and to support a healthier scalp environment — it's not a medical hair-restoration treatment, and we don't promise hair regrowth. If flaking, itch or real shedding is what's actually going on, the American Academy of Dermatology is the right first stop, and a dermatologist is the right provider. What a head spa's genuinely excellent at is stress relief, scalp comfort, and the kind of slow self-care hour people rarely give themselves — Mayo Clinic notes massage is a useful tool for managing stress and tension headaches, and 30 slow minutes on the scalp lands squarely in that space. Plenty of regulars pair a ritual with 30 minutes of foot reflexology or a lymphatic drainage session and make an afternoon of it.

Is this for you?
- Anyone curious about the head spa category in Lawrence who wants the full ritual and isn't after a 10-minute salon add-on

- Birthday, anniversary and pre-wedding visits, where the 90-minute Ultimate Renewal does the work of 3 bookings
- KU students and remote workers carrying 9-hour screen days in the scalp, jaw and neck
- People who want head and sinus relief but don't want their hair washed — that's the 45-minute dry session
What to expect
- 1
Hair and scalp cleanse — a warm, unhurried wash that clears product buildup before anything else starts. Skipped entirely on the 45-minute dry session.
- 2
Scalp care — targeted product chosen for your scalp type, or the warm Yunnan herbal infusion if you booked the Traditional Herbal Infusion tier.
- 3
Water and steam therapy — warm steam softens the scalp and opens things up. It's the stage most guests say they hadn't known they needed.
- 4
Scalp massage — the centerpiece, and it's the reason you booked. 25 to 30 slow minutes across the occipital ridge, crown, temples and hairline, a new section about every 90 seconds.
- 5
Neck, shoulder, arm and hand relaxation — the tension that feeds the scalp gets released too, which is why you leave looser than a scalp-only session would explain.
- 6
Scalp analysis — a short, plain-English read on what your scalp's actually doing, plus what to do between visits. There's no upsell and no product pitch.
Before your session
- • Skip heavy gel, dry shampoo or hairspray that day if you can — it'll make the opening cleanse easier and the steam stage better.
- • Plan for damp hair afterward on the Signature, Herbal and Ultimate tiers. Give it 30 to 40 minutes to air-dry, or book Head & Sinus Relief instead if that's a problem.
- • A light snack ahead is fine; a full meal isn't ideal if you're about to recline for 60 or 90 minutes.
After your session
- • Hold off on washing your hair for 12 hours — that's how long the scalp care and the calm both need to settle in.
- • Drink water. The ritual isn't a workout, but the body still likes it.
- • Most regulars rebook every 3 to 4 weeks, and guests working on scalp and root condition tend to run the Herbal tier monthly.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does a head spa cost in Lawrence?
- 3 full tiers: Signature Head Spa, 60 minutes, $130; Traditional Herbal Infusion Head Spa, 60 minutes, $149; Ultimate Renewal, 90 minutes, $179. Two shorter sessions sit below them at $65 each — a 30-minute Scalp Therapy Ritual and a 45-minute Head & Sinus Relief, which is a dry treatment and doesn't involve washing your hair at all. Same rates for walk-ins, 9 am to 9:30 pm, 7 days a week.
- Which head spa should I book first?
- If it's your first one, book the Signature at $130 — it's the complete 6-stage ritual and the fairest way to find out whether the category is for you. If scalp condition, dryness or thinning-looking hair is the reason you're coming, start with the Herbal Infusion at $149 instead; it's only $19 more and the Yunnan herbal infusion is the whole point of that tier. Book Ultimate Renewal at $179 when you want the facial and upper-body lymphatic work folded in — birthdays, anniversaries and pre-wedding visits are the 3 most common reasons.
- What is the difference between the $65 Head & Sinus Relief and the $130 Signature Head Spa?
- They're different services, not a small and a large of the same thing. Head & Sinus Relief is 45 dry minutes — no hair washing, no steam, no hair care — focused on the head, temples, sinus area, neck and shoulders. Signature Head Spa is the full 60-minute ritual: hair and scalp cleanse, scalp care, water and steam therapy, 25 to 30 minutes of scalp massage, neck, shoulder, arm and hand relaxation, and a closing scalp analysis. Want the ritual? Book the Signature. Want relief without wet hair? That's the 45-minute session. Our head spa guide compares them side by side.
- What is in the Traditional Herbal Infusion Head Spa?
- A nourishing scalp and hair ritual inspired by traditional Chinese herbal wellness, built around carefully selected botanicals from Yunnan, China that are slowly prepared into a warm herbal infusion and worked into the head spa experience. With deep scalp cleansing, warm steam, soothing scalp massage and nourishing hair care, it conditions the scalp and roots and supports a healthier scalp environment for stronger, fuller-looking, healthier-feeling hair. 60 minutes, $149.
- What does Ultimate Renewal include for $179?
- 90 minutes, and you're getting 3 things in one booking: a fuller head spa and hair care sequence, an upper-body lymphatic massage, and a facial. It's $30 over the Herbal tier for an extra 30 minutes and 2 extra services, which is why it's the best value on the menu if you'd already been thinking about booking more than one thing. Pairs naturally with our lymphatic drainage and facial menus if you want either on its own instead.
- Will my hair get wet?
- On the Signature, Herbal Infusion and Ultimate Renewal tiers, yes — the warm cleanse and the steam stage are a big part of why they feel different from a dry scalp massage. We use gentle professional products that rinse clean, and most people air-dry in the 30 or 40 minutes it takes to get home. If you need to stay dry, book Head & Sinus Relief at 45 minutes for $65; there's no hair washing in that session at all.
- Will a head spa help my hair grow back?
- We don't make hair-regrowth or hair-restoration claims, and we would be careful with any spa that did. The Herbal Infusion tier's built to condition the scalp and roots and support a healthier scalp environment — which is a real thing, and a different thing from medical hair restoration. If shedding, itch or flaking is the actual question, start with a dermatologist. Between visits, the basics we stand behind are simple: 2 washes a week for most hair types, lukewarm water instead of hot, fingertips instead of nails.
- Is this a Japanese-style or a Korean-style head spa?
- Pieces of both, plus a Chinese herbal tier that's genuinely our own. The Japanese and Korean labels get used interchangeably online and our format borrows the relaxation-first ideas from each — the warm cleanse, the steam stage, the long slow scalp work, the quiet cradle room. The Traditional Herbal Infusion tier pulls from traditional Chinese herbal wellness instead, with botanicals from Yunnan. If you came here searching Japanese head spa Lawrence or Korean scalp therapy Lawrence, you'll recognize the shape of the Signature session.
- Is a head spa worth booking if I am just after stress relief?
- Honestly, yes — that's why most of our regulars come back, and most of them run every 3 to 4 weeks. People searching best scalp treatment near me in Lawrence usually arrive carrying neck and jaw tension, and 25 to 30 minutes of slow scalp work plus the steam stage tends to do more for everyday stress than another shoulder massage. NCCIH reports that massage therapy is often used to ease stress and promote relaxation; the head spa format is that idea concentrated on the scalp.
- Can I gift a head spa session?
- Yes, and plenty of people do — birthdays, anniversaries and post-finals week are the 3 most common. Gift cards work for any service on the menu, so the recipient can pick the $130 Signature, the $149 Herbal Infusion or the 90-minute $179 Ultimate Renewal themselves.
- Where exactly are you, and can I walk in?
- 3514 Clinton Parkway, Suite F — second door from the left in the strip between the HyVee and the dental office. Walk-ins welcome, 9 AM to 9:30 PM. Weekends and Friday evenings fill earlier, and the 90-minute Ultimate Renewal's the one worth calling ahead for — (785) 865-6806 is the fastest way to lock in a slot.
