What is a Japanese head massage?
Japanese head massage is a dry scalp and head treatment — no oil — usually done seated, working the scalp, neck, shoulders and sometimes the face. It focuses on relaxation and relieving tension, and has become popular for stress relief and easing tension headaches. It's a distinct style from Indian head massage, with its own techniques and emphasis on the scalp.
How is it different from Indian head massage?
Both work the head, neck and shoulders, but they differ in technique and tradition. Indian head massage often uses oil and is rooted in Ayurvedic practice; Japanese head massage is typically dry (no oil), with its own scalp-focused techniques, and is strongly associated with deep relaxation and stress relief. If you don't want oil in your hair, the Japanese style is often preferred.
What should I expect during the treatment?
You'll usually be seated or reclined, fully clothed, with the therapist working the scalp, neck and shoulders — no oil, so nothing in your hair afterwards. Sessions are often shorter than a full-body massage. Many people find it very calming, sometimes almost meditative. Tell your therapist if you prefer lighter or firmer pressure.
