treatments. Ready to be captivated? Prepare for a head-to toe
transformation that’s sure to leave you enchanted.

Bamboo Spa

Newly located in Edgewater, Bamboo Spa is the first Korean head spa in Miami. It uses a holistic approach to breathing new life to your scalp. The ASMR Head Spa Massage not only helps with scalp and dandruff concerns, it also helps stimulate your hair to grow healthier, and shinier. You can even expect better sleep and stress relief from the treatment, thanks to the ASMR elements. Think soothing light therapy, a waterfall-esque rinse and a relaxing neck and shoulder massage. The service includes Phyto and Moroccan oil products, which can also be prepared into a home kit for an additional cost so you can continue the treatment in your own space. “The best part of the experience is surprisingly the neck and shoulder massage. The ASMR vibes are cool, too,” says influencer Maria Tettamanti, who recently shared her experience at the spa on an Instagram reel.

“Any form of self-care is a must, but I have to say the massage paired with a serious scalp scrub down is chef’s kiss. My scalp felt squeaky clean afterward” she says. A free drying station is available post-treatment, or you can schedule a professional blowout to leave feeling beautiful head to toe. Treatments start at $90 for one hour.

Head Spa Miami

If you think about it, a lot goes through your head during the course of the day, which is why a trip to Head Spa Miami is key to elevate your well-being, relax and relieve stress. Touted as the first head spa in Miami, the spot celebrated its one-year anniversary this spring. Along the way, it’s put many heads in a better space. Here, treatments are customized to help with whatever your scalp needs may be: Oily hair, product buildup and/or dandruff. The Relax and Unwind takes your scalp needs and combines them with a massage that starts at the crown of your head and works its way down your neck and shoulders to solidify the name behind this treatment. Next, a deep hydrating treatment made of Biodynamic hazelnut and organic honey to hydrate your scalp and hair is applied. Using tools like an electric scrubber and a waterfall-esque rinse, find your scalp in the best shape of its life. The final touch: a blowout for a perfect hair to match your state of scalp and mind. The Relax and Unwind is 75 minutes for $100.
