Sarang Head Spa brings authentic Japanese head spa techniques to Philadelphia’s Waterloo Street, offering a specialized approach to scalp wellness that’s still relatively new to the area. Their practitioners focus on traditional Japanese scalp massage methods, working systematically across pressure points to improve circulation and release tension that builds up from daily stress.
The treatments here go beyond basic relaxation – they use specific techniques like gentle kneading motions and targeted finger pressure that follow Japanese protocols developed for scalp health. Sessions typically include thorough scalp analysis, customized oil treatments, and extended massage work that addresses individual concerns like dryness or sensitivity.
What sets Sarang apart is their commitment to the authentic methodology rather than adapting it for quicker turnover. Practitioners take time to explain each step and adjust pressure based on client feedback. The Waterloo Street location maintains the calm, minimalist aesthetic that complements these traditional practices, creating an environment where the focus stays on you.

✨ A Truly Restorative Experience with Sonia at Sarang Head Spa ✨ From the moment I arrived, Sonia made me feel completely at ease. She took her time explaining every step of the treatment, which I deeply appreciated. My hair has a unique texture—an oily scalp with dry ends—and Sonia not only understood this but provided clear, personalized instructions to help me care for it properly. The spa itself is serene and beautifully curated, and Sonia’s use of exclusive Korean products (not easily found elsewhere!) added a luxurious touch to the experience. I left with a refreshed scalp—completely free of oil—and hair that was full of body and bounce, all without needing to use any styling products. Her technique alone brought out the natural vitality in my hair, which felt like magic. Her expertise and gentle approach made the entire session feel like a blend of therapy and pampering. Highly recommend for anyone seeking scalp care with a personal, thoughtful touch. I’ll definitely be back!

I visited Sarang Head Spa for the first time yesterday, and this morning I was so impressed I already purchased a package! The spa itself is absolutely stunning, relaxing, and incredibly aesthetic. My experience with Sonia was fantastic; she's incredibly sweet and personable, immediately making me feel comfortable the moment I walked in. As someone with curly hair, I especially appreciated that she was extremely knowledgeable, sharing best practices for my specific hair type. The entire treatment was wonderful, and my scalp felt incredible afterward. I am genuinely looking forward to returning and continuing my scalp health journey with Sarang!

Listen. Sarang Head Spa is THE BEST head spa you will find in Philly. You will feel brand new after the appointment. Sonia did a great job analyzing and explaining my scalp and gave me tips on maintaining a healthy scalp and hair growth. The small details, from the relaxing atmosphere to the hand massage, show how much thought Sonia put into the customer's experience. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn about their scalp condition or has issues with their scalp/hair. OR even if you want to treat yourself nicely and relax. ♡♡

I had the most amazing head spa experience with Sonia! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to educate you on achieving and maintaining a healthy scalp. Her products are exclusive from Korea and clinical-grade, designed to truly support your hair goals. I have thin hair, and after my treatment it felt so clean, refreshed, and revitalized—the perfect mix of treatment and pampering. It was so relaxing that I wish I could have stayed all day! Her space is cozy, rustic, and ideal for personalized attention. Parking was free and easy, which is great for a bad driver like me. Overall, I had such a wonderful experience and can’t wait to come back next month!
