If you know this, you're in for a surprise! Answering simple questions about head care


Almost every week, customers ask me, "Is there a difference between a head massage and a head spa ?"

Although they have similar names and are often confused, they actually have completely different purposes and effects . Knowing the differences will help you find the best treatment for your headaches, stiff shoulders, and fatigue .

At YUE Head Acupuncture and Massage , located in Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo , we categorize head care into three major categories and explain the characteristics of each and how to use them wisely.


Three types of head care that are often confused


I've put it all together in an image, so please take a look at that first.

[Important] Why choose a head massage for headaches and stiff shoulders?


If your goal is to "relieve stiff shoulders and headaches" or "just relieve brain fatigue," we strongly recommend choosing a head massage.

According to one professional hairdresser, while a wet head spa has a refreshing effect of removing dirt from the scalp, the shampooing station can put strain on the neck and shoulders during the treatment . For this reason, if your main goal is to "improve your condition" other than washing your hair or caring for your scalp, a wet head spa may not be recommended.

The head massage provided by YUE Head Acupuncture Massage does not use water and deeply addresses tension in the head, neck and shoulders, with the client in the most comfortable position.


The ultimate refresher: tips for using different products


If you have scalp and hair problems and are also concerned about physical discomfort, it is ideal to alternate between wet head spa and head massage .

  1. A wet head spa will reset your scalp environment and keep it clean.

  2. YUE's head acupuncture massage deeply relieves underlying headaches, eye strain, and brain fatigue .

By using these products appropriately, you can expect to keep your scalp and body in top condition for both beauty and health. (Note: Results may vary from person to person.)
