This is ultra-pure salt with no additives, anti-caking agents, minerals, or moisture. It is chosen for its consistency, safety, and ability to penetrate the respiratory system effectively during halotherapy.

A Head Spa is a scalp-focused treatment that combines deep cleansing, targeted scalp care, and relaxing massage to support a healthier scalp and a calmer nervous system. Your service may include a scalp check, detoxing, exfoliation, cleansing, multiple shampoos and waterfall rinses, scalp massage, conditioning treatment, and relaxation time. Almost like a facial, but for your scalp. Steps vary by service level and individual scalp needs.
