Discover Mother-Daughter Bonding at a Luxurious Scalp Spa Experience in New Orleans

My daughters are unique individuals. If you plotted our personalities and interests, you’d see barely any overlap!

Recently, both of my daughters visited me, and something surprising happened. We all agreed on an activity that excited us — a visit to a head spa! Greer, recently back in the South after living near New York City, introduced us to this idea. In a flash, we decided to go together.

Wondering what a head spa is? It’s a place that promotes scalp and hair health, originally from Asia. They’re known for their relaxing and revitalizing treatments.

So, I jumped online to check out Lotus Head Spa, a well-reviewed spot in New Orleans. I was surprised by their offerings – there was the $40 “essential headicure”, the $75 “nourishing Japanese headicure”, the $100 “Lotus luxury headicure”, and even a $200 “24K Gold headicure.” I opted for the $100 luxury headicure package for each of us as an extra holiday treat.

On the day of our appointment, we walked into the spa together. The staff greeted us warmly and led us to cozy massage chairs, complete with pulsing eye masks. The masks were a unique twist; they blocked out light while gently massaging our eyes, creating a soothing environment.

After a few minutes, we were taken to a room for a scalp examination using a special camera. The technician examined each of our scalps and pointed out issues. “You’re using water that’s too hot to wash your hair,” she told me. My husband joked later that he could’ve told me that for free!

After the scalp check, we were guided to a treatment room where my daughters and I were assigned tables. The technician placed a warm aroma wrap on my head that smelled wonderful, although I couldn’t pinpoint the exact scent. They applied cucumber strips to my face — or so my daughters said. I suspected they felt different from cucumbers, but I couldn’t complain about the lovely scent!

As part of the treatment, a series of creams and oils were applied to my hair and scalp. It felt like a mini waterfall was gently pouring over me while the technician worked on my hair. The soothing water temperature made the experience even more enjoyable.

Eventually, the technician switched to using hot stones to massage my feet, and the table’s built-in massagers added to the relaxation. After the main treatment, we returned to the earlier room for a final scalp check. There, we enjoyed a detox foot bath while receiving a red light scalp treatment and some delicious snacks.

Overall, this experience was fantastic — not only did I leave feeling refreshed, but I also cherished the time spent with my daughters. We all agreed that we would love to do it again! If you’re in New Orleans, consider visiting Lotus Head Spa at 1831 Rousseau St.
