What the Thai head spa includes

Holi's Thai head spa (menu name: Holi Thai Luxury Hair Spa) is a relaxation treatment for the head, neck and shoulders built on traditional Thai massage. It runs in five steps — neck and shoulder release, scalp pressure points, traditional hair wash, warm water therapy and a finishing massage — on the principle of "loosen first, wash second". Full details: Thai head therapy at Holi.

  1. Neck and shoulder releaseThai pressure-point work on the trapezius and the top of the shoulders to take the stiffness out of the upper body first.
  2. Scalp pressure pointsFinger pressure along the scalp lines, focusing on the crown and the base of the skull, to ease tightness and head heaviness.
  3. Traditional hair washWarm water and hand technique clean the scalp, water flow and fingertips moving together.
  4. Warm water therapyA ring of warm water soaks the scalp and the back of the neck for deeper release.
  5. FinishingThe therapist blow-dries your hair, applies hair oil and closes with Thai massage strokes so you come back to yourself gently.
