At ATANA, they believe that a healthy scalp leads to healthier hair, making scalp care a critical routine for anyone looking to enhance their hair’s natural vitality and growth. While head spas can help those with issues like dandruff or those experiencing hair loss, ATANA has gone above and beyond to show that everybody can benefit from scalp treatments. 

We had the opportunity to take a trip over to ATANA Head Spa to try out these treatments. In short, these treatments are every bit as luxurious as they claim. You leave the spa feeling relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated. 

It all starts with entering the spa, which feels like taking a breath of fresh air. The wide open space, the beautiful wooden shelves for product, and the massive cushioned benches for seating all invite you in. Once you are checked in and all your preferences are verified (everything is customized to you) you are seated in a comfortable salon chair to meet your scalp therapist. 

Any concerns or worries you might have about your scalp are discussed immediately. However, if you’re like me and unsure if you even have anything going on, on your scalp, don’t worry. Your scalp therapist will perform an analysis that will show any problem areas. 

After your analysis, there is some scalp scraping and some treatments that start while in the chair, all treatments are explained by your scalp therapist and ingredients are shared. ATANA uses clean, easily traced ingredients in their products. Afterwards, you are brought back to your private room to change into your robe, lay down on a luxurious massage table, and get ready for the hair masks, speciality rinses, and conditioning treatments. 

These rooms are designed to be the height of relaxation. Cool tones, low lights, and ambient sounds play and make you feel like you are wrapped in your own little world. Your scalp therapist works through the different treatments, treatments that are specifically designed to treat your problem areas on your scalp. 

When you’re all done, you go back out to the salon chair where your scalp therapist will finish off with a final scalp treatment and show you where your scalp is after all the treatments—a scalp that is on its way to healthier pastures. 

As your therapist is finishing up the final pieces, you are provided with your farewell beverage. It’s the perfect touch on a luxurious treatment. Try the Strawberry Açai, it’s delicious.
