ABOUT THE JAPANESE HEAD SPA

Questions we often get asked

A Japanese Head Spa is a 90-minute therapeutic ritual that treats your scalp, hair, face, and nervous system through traditional Japanese techniques combined with advanced skincare. It includes personalized scalp analysis, aromatic immersion in warm water, professional head and facial massage, luxury masks, LED light therapy, detox scalp serums, and a closing tea ceremony. This is not a typical spa treatment — it’s a complete sensory and restorative experience designed to relieve stress, improve circulation, restore scalp health, and bring profound relaxation to both body and mind.

Yes. Queen of Beauty Marbella is the first and only official Japanese Head Spa in Spain. Our techniques are taught directly by certified masters from Japan and Asia — not approximated or westernized. This is the genuine ritual, unchanged from its traditional origins, combined with the most advanced skincare science available today.

Your ritual includes 13 professional steps:

  1. Scalp consultation and Element selection
  2. Aromatic immersion — warm water basin ritual with essential oils
  3. Facial, neck, and shoulder massage
  4. Elemental facial mask application (chosen for your skin)
  5. Detox scalp serum application
  6. Traditional Japanese head massage (cat, bone, stylist, pressure techniques)
  7. Scalp tools therapy (comb brushes for healthy hair growth)
  8. Scalp and shoulder exfoliation cleanse
  9. Facial steaming and mask renewal
  10. LED light therapy (personalized to your Element)
  11. Nourishing hair mask
  12. Rainbow rinse (symbolic purification ritual)
  13. Tea ceremony by Element

The Japanese Head Spa works on two levels — physical and emotional. Physically, it treats your scalp health, stimulates hair growth, improves circulation, deeply hydrates skin, and provides advanced anti-aging benefits through LED therapy and luxury masks. Emotionally, it activates the vagus nerve, soothes neural pathways, and creates profound stress relief and mental clarity. This is a complete system — not just a massage, and not just skincare. It’s a therapeutic ritual that restores balance to your entire being.

THE FIVE ELEMENTS

Questions we often get asked

Your Element is selected through a personalized consultation with your therapist at the beginning of your ritual. We assess your scalp condition, skin type, current stress levels, and treatment goals. Based on this analysis, we connect you with the Element that best matches your needs:

  • Fire — Vitality & Radiance (dull skin, fatigue, lost glow)
  • Water — Hydration & Renewal (dryness, dehydration, sensitivity)
  • Air — Clarity & Lightness (inflammation, uneven tone, mental fog)
  • Earth — Rejuvenation & Stability (stress, burnout, mature skin)
  • Love — Harmony & Connection (couples ritual)

Your therapist will recommend an Element based on their professional assessment, but the final choice is always yours. Many guests prefer to trust the expert recommendation, while others have a strong intuitive sense of which Element they need. We honor both approaches — this is your ritual, designed for you.

Absolutely. Your needs change with seasons, stress levels, and life circumstances. You might need Fire in winter for radiance, Water in summer for hydration, or Earth during particularly stressful periods. Many of our regular guests rotate through Elements based on what their body and mind need at that moment.

RESULTS & FREQUENCY

Questions we often get asked

Skin: Visibly brighter, more radiant complexion; plumper, hydrated skin; reduced puffiness; calmer, more even tone

Scalp & Hair: Deeply cleansed scalp; improved circulation; hair feels silky, light, and luminous (not over-styled)

Mind & Body: Profoundly relaxed; mental clarity; released tension in jaw, temples, shoulders; deep sense of renewal

The immediate glow and relaxation last 3-5 days. The deeper benefits — improved scalp health, collagen stimulation from LED therapy, hair strength from nourishing masks — continue to build over 1-2 weeks. For sustained results, we recommend rituals every 4-6 weeks, allowing your skin and scalp to integrate the treatment while maintaining consistent wellness.

For optimal results:

  • Monthly (every 4-6 weeks) — ideal for regular maintenance, stress management, and cumulative benefits
  • Seasonal (every 3 months) — good for general wellness and treating yourself
  • Before special events — 2-3 days prior for maximum glow

Many of our Marbella clients book monthly rituals as part of their wellness routine, treating it like a facial or massage — essential self-care, not a luxury.
