The Japanese ScalpTox Method

Lift. Release. Flow.

A waterless Japanese head spa that works the muscles of your scalp. For women and men. 711 Fifth Ave, 15th Floor, NYC.

Why the scalp?

Your scalp isn’t just skin. It’s a layer of muscle connected to your forehead, eyes and jaw. When it’s tight, you feel it everywhere.

One sheet, head to brow. The muscle in your forehead and the muscle at the back of your head are joined by a tendon sheet across the top of the skull. Tension there pulls on everything it connects to.

Stress lives in your temples. The temporalis, the muscle you clench your jaw with, fans across the sides of your head. Screens, focus and stress keep it working all day.

Release the scalp, and the face follows. We work these muscles by hand, layer by layer, along with the neck and shoulders. Clients tell us their eyes feel more open, their face feels lifted, and their head feels lighter.

Built for men, too. If you carry stress in your head, neck and shoulders, this is for you. You lie down, your hair stays dry, and you walk straight back into your day. No styling needed.
