Every scalp is unique.
That's why no two Dreamin’ Head Spa treatments are exactly the same.
Rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine, we carefully assess your scalp and hair before selecting the most appropriate products, techniques, and treatments for your individual needs.
Whether your concern is an oily scalp, dryness, buildup, sensitivity, damaged hair, or simply the desire to relax, every step of your treatment is designed to support healthier hair and a healthier scalp.
At Dreamin’, we don't simply perform a treatment—we create a personalised experience based on your scalp's condition, using authentic Japanese techniques, advanced technology, and the spirit of Omotenashi.
Step 1: Scalp Consultation
Every treatment begins with a personalised consultation.
We take the time to understand your concerns, lifestyle, hair history, and scalp condition before recommending the most suitable treatment.
Some common concerns include:
- Oily scalp
- Dry scalp
- Sensitive scalp
- Dandruff
- Product buildup
- Hair damage
- Hair thinning
- Colour-treated hair
Our goal is to understand your scalp—not simply your hair.
Step 2: Professional Scalp Observation
We carefully observe the condition of your scalp to better understand what it needs.
Depending on your scalp, we may identify:
- Excess oil
- Dryness
- Flaking
- Congestion
- Product buildup
- Redness
- Sensitivity
This allows us to personalise every treatment instead of following the same routine for every client.
Step 3: Pre-Rinsing
Before shampoo is applied, your scalp and hair are thoroughly rinsed with comfortably warm water.
This important step helps remove:
- Sweat
- Surface dirt
- Excess sebum
- Loose skin cells
- Environmental impurities
Pre-rinsing prepares the scalp for a deeper and more effective cleanse while protecting its natural moisture balance.
Step 4: Scalp Shampoo
The first shampoo focuses on cleansing the scalp rather than simply washing the hair.
Using authentic Japanese shampoo techniques, we gently remove excess oil, product buildup, and impurities while respecting the scalp's natural protective barrier.
Healthy hair always begins with a healthy scalp.
Step 5: Carbonated Shampoo*
Depending on your scalp condition and selected treatment, we may perform a Carbonated Shampoo.
Fine carbonated bubbles help loosen stubborn buildup, excess sebum, and impurities while leaving the scalp feeling exceptionally fresh and clean.
This step is especially beneficial for clients experiencing:
- Oily scalp
- Product buildup
- Heavy styling product use
- Scalp congestion
*Included in selected treatments.
Step 6: marbb Nano Bubble Cleansing
Throughout your Dreamin’ Japanese Head Spa, we continuously use the Japanese-made marbb Nano Bubble System—from the initial pre-rinse through to the completion of your Head Bath.
Rather than being a single step, marbb enhances the entire treatment.
Using only water and air, marbb creates millions of ultra-fine nano bubbles that help gently lift away excess oil, product residue, dead skin cells, and microscopic impurities from both the scalp and hair.
Because these nano bubbles are much smaller than ordinary water droplets, they cleanse more effectively while remaining incredibly gentle on the scalp.
By continuously using marbb throughout the treatment, we create the ideal foundation for healthier scalp care and healthier-looking hair.
Step 7: Scalp Stretch Therapy
Unlike a traditional massage, the focus of a Japanese Head Spa is professional scalp maintenance.
Using specialised Japanese techniques, we gently stretch and mobilise the muscles surrounding the scalp, particularly around the hairline, temples, and areas where tension commonly develops.
Rather than applying deep pressure, the treatment focuses on improving the mobility of the scalp and encouraging healthy circulation.
This technique is designed to:
- Improve scalp circulation
- Increase scalp flexibility
- Release tension in the scalp muscles
- Support a healthier scalp environment
- Encourage deep relaxation
We also stimulate pressure points associated with relaxation and the autonomic nervous system, helping calm both the body and mind while supporting long-term scalp health.
Step 8: Head Bath (頭浸浴)
Head Bath is one of the signature experiences of a Japanese Head Spa.
Warm water gently flows across the forehead and scalp while the back of your head rests comfortably in warm water, creating a soothing waterfall sensation.
As the marbb Nano Bubble System continues throughout this stage, the flowing water gently rinses away any remaining shampoo, loose skin cells, excess oil, and impurities.
Combined with the warmth, gentle sound of flowing water, and continuous nano bubble cleansing, Head Bath creates a deeply calming sensory experience while leaving the scalp feeling exceptionally clean, refreshed, and balanced.
Step 9: Hair & Scalp Treatment
Once the scalp has been thoroughly cleansed and prepared, professional treatments are selected specifically for your scalp and hair.
Depending on your individual needs, the treatment may focus on:
- Scalp hydration
- Scalp comfort
- Hair repair
- Moisture replenishment
- Strengthening
- Shine
- Smoothness
Every product is carefully selected according to your scalp condition, hair type, and desired results.
Step 10: Continuous Warm Mist Therapy
Throughout your entire Dreamin’ Head Spa experience, a gentle warm mist is continuously used to enhance both comfort and treatment effectiveness.
During the cleansing stages, the warm mist helps soften the scalp and supports more effective cleansing.
During the treatment stage, gentle warmth helps professional ingredients absorb more effectively into both the hair and scalp, maximising the benefits of the treatment.
The continuous mist also creates a warm, calming atmosphere, allowing you to fully relax from beginning to end.
Step 11: Hair Drying & Finishing
After your treatment, your scalp and hair are carefully dried using professional techniques.
Drying the scalp thoroughly is essential for maintaining a healthy scalp environment and protecting the hair from unnecessary damage.
If appropriate, finishing products may be applied to provide hydration, repair, or heat protection based on your individual hair needs.
Step 12: Personalised Home Care Advice
Healthy hair doesn't end when you leave the salon.
Based on your scalp assessment and treatment, we'll recommend a personalised home care routine to help maintain your results.
This may include advice on:
- Shampoo technique
- Washing frequency
- Scalp care
- Heat protection
- Hair repair
- Product recommendations
- Daily hair care habits
Our goal is to help you enjoy healthier hair and a healthier scalp every day—not just after your appointment.
