Imagine a facial for your scalp. A Head Spa at True Beauty Aesthetics in Mount Pleasant melts away tension, detoxifies follicles, and leaves hair light, bouncy, and brilliantly clean. Licensed aestheticians Amy Mounce and Michelle Gurny combine aromatherapy, steam, and rhythmic massage so every minute feels like both a treatment and a mini-vacation.
What makes a head spa different from a normal wash?
Regular shampoo handles surface dirt, but a Head Spa works deeper, treating the follicle environment much like a facial treats pores.
- Deep-cleanse shampoos lift product build-up, hard-water minerals, and excess oil
- Enzyme or sea-salt exfoliation removes dead skin and stubborn flakes
- Warm steam opens pores for better detox and pure relaxation
- 15-minute pressure-point massage boosts circulation to nourish hair bulbs
- Botanical serums—lavender, rosemary, or tea-tree—balance and soothe your scalp
- Cool rinse + light towel-dry leave your roots fluffy and ends glossy
The outcome is two-fold: optimal scalp health that’s primed for healthy hair growth, plus deep relaxation that melts away stress.
Who can benefit from a Head Spa?
Everyone! Head Spa treatments are designed to benefit all hair types and scalp conditions. Head Spas can be especially transformative for those with the following hair and scalp concerns:
- Dry, itchy, or flaky scalps
- Oily roots with dull, weighed-down hair
- Dry-shampoo lovers or heavy product users (as it helps clear away buildup from hair products)
- Post-partum, stress, or seasonal shedding
Even color-treated hair is safe; products are sulfate-free and pH-balanced.
True Beauty Aesthetics is a woman-owned practice deeply rooted in Mount Pleasant. We’ve built our reputation on elegant, bespoke results that honor each person’s natural beauty.
Your Head Spa Experience: Step by Step
- Double Cleanse & Exfoliation: A clarifying shampoo followed by an enzyme or gentle salt scrub.
- Steam Ritual & Aromatic Massage: Warm mist softens debris while Amy, Alana, or Michelle perform a rhythmic, pressure-point massage along your temples, neck, and shoulders. Many guests drift into nap-land here.
- Targeted Serum Mask: Botanical blends tailored to oil control, hydration, or soothing sensitivity soak in for 10 minutes.
- Cool Rinse & Gloss Finish: A refreshing rinse seals the cuticle, then a light blow-dry sends you on your way feeling fresh and clean and light as air.
Optional upgrades: LED scalp therapy for circulation or nourishing mid-length hair mask.
Results
Here’s what you can expect from your Head Spa experience:
- Fresher, longer-lasting volume at the roots

- Easier styling—clean, buildup-free hair holds curls and smooth blowouts better
- Headache and jaw-tension relief from focused massage
- A sense of calm that lingers well beyond the appointment
Pairing a Head Spa With Other Services
Why not make it a spa day? Many of our Mount Pleasant med spa clients book a Head Spa the same day as:
- Classic or Anti-Aging Facial—for a complete pamper session
- Brow & Lash Tint—for that subtle “my look but better” touch
- DiamondGlow®—schedule facials one week before to prep skin and scalp together
Head Spa Aftercare
To maximize your results and maintain that spa-fresh feeling, we request that you:
- Avoid heavy styling products for 24 hours to let follicles breathe
- Sleep on a clean pillowcase; skip dry shampoo for at least two days
- Massage shampoo into the scalp, not just the hair, during home washes
Our Head Spa works with your existing haircare routine, meaning there is no need for any new products or tools at home.
