Have you ever dreamed of a spa experience that goes beyond pampering and dives into true rejuvenation? Then Dandle’s Japanese Head Spa in Chattanooga is your dream come true. Nestled between Lookout Mountain and the Tennessee River, Dandle offers a sanctuary of wellness where physical care meets soul care. Our head spa is one of the most unique spa experiences in Chattanooga. It's a must-try if you're seeking a new way to relax. If you are new to this blissful experience, we’ll walk you through everything to expect during your first head spa!
The Philosophy Behind Dandle’s Japanese Head Spa
At Dandle, our head spa is a full-body exhale. Our philosophy centers around holistic wellness, combining scalp treatments, massage, and aromatherapy to create a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. Dandle’s mission is to provide a sanctuary of peace and lead people to healing in body, mind, and soul. Our Japanese head spa is the ultimate care experience in Chattanooga, and we know it will change your life.
Some of the key elements in our head spa are the luxurious products we use. However, we don’t sacrifice luxury or quality for cleanliness and safety. We carefully handpicked the hair and skin care in these services to ensure that they’re truly good for you. Most self-care products on the market today are causing much more harm than you may realize. If you aren’t sure what I’m talking about, check out our blog on sulfates and phthalates! With Dandle skincare and Bella Hue hair care, you can completely relax knowing that we’re looking out for your health.
Preparing for Your Session
Since Dandle is the best Japanese Head Spa in Chattanooga, we always pull out all the stops for our clients. Your journey begins even before you walk through the doors. We recommend arriving with unwashed hair, ideally two days since your last shampoo. This allows our estheticians to assess your scalp’s natural condition and tailor the treatment accordingly. Before your service, you’ll also fill out an intake form detailing your scalp health, hair goals, and any sensitivities. This ensures your treatment is customized to your needs. Our hospitality team will greet you warmly and offer you a refreshing beverage before leading you to your esthetician. In the spa room, the esthetician will guide you through a brief consultation to better understand your concerns.
The esthetician will then step out so you can undress to your comfort level. Personally, I only leave on underwear for any head spa or facial service. The table is so cozy between the table warmer, bolster, and blankets, that wearing my clothes feels weird. Your esthetician also provides you with a smock to wear that wraps around your chest securely. This way, your clothes don’t get wet and you can be as cozy as possible. However, if you aren’t comfortable undressing, that’s okay too! We are here to work with you and create a space in which you feel completely safe and relaxed. Once you are on the table and under the blanket, your esthetician comes back in, and the bliss begins.
Step-by-Step: What Happens During Our Signature Head Spa
Your session begins with a warm jade eye mask and aromatherapy to help you relax and disconnect from the outside world. We have a variety of aromatherapy you can choose from based on what you need that day. After you take some deep breaths, our esthetician starts with an unbelievably relaxing scalp massage. This massage features warmed hair growth serum, which we mix here by hand. It also just smells heavenly, blending lavender, cedarwood, and rosemary essential oils. Massaging this serum into the scalp boosts circulation, melts away stress, and helps your hair grow faster and healthier. This serum and scalp massage alone is part of what makes us the best Japanese head spa in Chattanooga.
When this is finished, the esthetician does two gentle but thorough cleanses with one of the fabulous Bella Hue shampoos. The first shampoo gets rid of excess oil and buildup, and the second deeply cleanses the pores. Yes, your scalp has pores, too! While shampooing, the esthetician may use a scalp scrubber to cleanse more effectively, and it feels amazing. They follow with Bella Hue’s magical conditioner, made with clean, natural ingredients that actually keep your hair hydrated. The esthetician combs this through to ensure that the conditioner spreads evenly and reaches every hair. Then, they rinse your hair with none other than our halo rinse, which feels and sounds incredibly soothing. During the rinse, you’ll also enjoy a soothing massage targeting your neck, arms, and shoulders. This helps release tension and enhances the overall relaxation experience. But wait, there’s MORE!
The Luxe and The Royal Head Spa Services
Depending on the service you choose, your session may include even more pampering. In the Luxe Head Spa, in addition to everything above, you’ll enjoy a condensed facial and pressure point face massage. The Royal Head Spa includes a 30-minute facial and your choice of a scalp scrub or hair mask for maximum indulgence. The Signature Head Spa, which I described in the paragraphs above, is about an hour. The Luxe is about an hour and 15 minutes, and the Royal is about an hour and 40 minutes. Here at the best Japanese head spa in Chattanooga, we love to pamper our clients as much as possible.
Here at Dandle, we know that healing goes beyond spa days and starts with what you put on your skin. In the Luxe and Royal Head Spa services, we use our Dandle skin care line for the facial portion. These products are rated 0-3 on the EWG scale, meaning they are some of the cleanest on the market! We designed every product to nourish your skin without exposing your body to harmful chemicals. With the rise of greenwashing in "clean" beauty, it’s hard to know what’s truly safe. That’s why we’ve done the hard work for you. Each formula is researched, tested, and made with ingredients that are safe enough for the whole family. These products also feel lavish while also boasting countless benefits! Some of my personal favorites are the Cleansing Cream, the Antioxidant Oil, and the Clarifying Cream.
Blow Dry Bar Finish
After your treatment, you will have access to Dandle’s private Blow Dry Bar! Complete with styling tools and products, you can leave looking as refreshed as you feel. This also gives you space to sip a beverage and come back to earth after being so relaxed. Clients often joke they can't drive home, and resting with some hot tea is a great way to postpone it! Our Blow Dry Bar is just another component that sets us apart as the best Japanese Head Spa in Chattanooga.
The styling products are also from Bella Hue Organics! Their amazing products are free from fragrances, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, formaldehyde, petroleum, silicones, alcohol, and more! Like us, they are dedicated to providing truly clean and effective personal care products. Our Blow Dry Bar features their Thermal Heat Protectant and Curl Defining Cream. I love the heat protectant even just for reviving dry hair, and it smells so lovely!
Makaila: Head Spa Master
One of our estheticians has mastered the art of the head spa: our sweet Makaila! In each service, she offers a soul-reviving experience that goes beyond a typical scalp treatment. Her technique combines soothing massage and a vast knowledge of products to exquisitely tailor each service to her client. Her clients consistently praise her congeniality and calming presence; her smile and warmth are infectious. Makaila’s meticulousness and intuitive touch allow her clients to truly unwind, so that each session is a personalized escape. She’s one of the reasons we have the best head spa in Chattanooga, and we are forever grateful for her!
Makaila's light touch for skincare application paired with a deeper pressure for massage will have you feeling like you're floating! While Makaila has only been an esthetician for 1 year, she creates the experience you've searched for your whole life! One of her favorite services is the Royal Head Spa, where she has the most time to pamper her clients.
