Many customers ask, "What is the difference between a massage and a kneading treatment?" In fact, this question is often asked together with complaints about people who have hurt themselves after receiving a kneading treatment .


What is massage?

Massage is a form of relaxation that can be performed without a national license. Therefore, there is a large difference in experience and knowledge, and if the treatment is too forceful, you may injure yourself.


What is a dry head spa?

Dry head spa, which has become popular in recent years, is basically a treatment that can be performed without any qualifications or with private qualifications. It is ideal for relaxation and refreshment, but the level of satisfaction can vary greatly depending on the skill level of the therapist.


What is a nationally certified massage therapist (head massage therapist)?

On the other hand, massage (anma massage, shiatsu, acupuncture and moxibustion) requires a national license. You can receive treatment with peace of mind as it is based on the anatomy and physiology of the body. Our head massage has an amazing sleep rate of over 90% and is a treatment that will leave you feeling refreshed both physically and mentally.


Summary: Key points to consider when choosing

  • Massage and dry head spa → Available without qualifications or with private qualifications, focusing on relaxation

  • Massage (national qualification) → Treatment that can be received with peace of mind, and body care can also be provided at the same time


If you have hurt yourself with an unlicensed treatment , why not take this opportunity to think about choosing a therapist you can trust and one who is nationally certified and has solid knowledge ?


*All staff at YUE hold national qualifications.

This is a unique store where treatments are performed by head care professionals, and hair professionals are also available to style and provide consultations.
