Most people think Vietnamese head spa is simply “hair washing + facial.” The truth? The real addiction lies in the continuous 60–80 minutes of uninterrupted professional massage — the kind where the therapist uses her full strength and somehow knows exactly where you’re tightest.
Here are the 5 signature massage stages that make 90% of customers say: “I’d queue again just for this part.”
1. Prolonged Deep Scalp Pressure + Gua Sha-Style Massage (15–20 minutes)
It starts the moment you lie down. Using fingertips, knuckles, and even a comb for gentle scraping, the therapist divides the scalp into zones and slowly “opens” every area. The pressure is deep and deliberate — you literally feel layers of tense fascia peeling away. Most people fall asleep halfway and wake up with a scalp so soft it feels brand new.
2. Side-of-Head & Temple Complete Release (The part that often brings tears)
For modern people, the hardest area isn’t the shoulders — it’s the whole zone from above the ears to the temples that turns rock-hard from clenching jaws, wearing masks, and chronic stress. The therapist circles with fingertips and applies deep thumb pressure until that concrete block melts into jelly. The instant release frequently causes eyes to well up — years of stored tension finally forced out.
3. Shoulder, Neck & Upper Back “Reclining Deep-Tissue” Massage (Hits spots no regular chair can reach)
Thanks to the lying-flat position, the therapist can slide hands underneath and target:
- The rope-like muscle that carries your bag all day
- Both sides of the neck that ache from endless phone scrolling
- Those two perpetual knots between your shoulder blades
Most people let out an involuntary (and slightly embarrassing) “ahhh~” here, then immediately fall into deep sleep.
4. Arm-to-Fingertip Meridian Stretch Massage (Rescues your overworked typing hands)
While washing your hair, the therapist straightens your arms, presses from shoulders to wrists, then gently pulls each of the ten fingers backward one by one. It lasts only minutes, but the relief is explosive — hands that type and swipe all day are finally “returned” to you.
5. Ears + Behind-the-Ear Lymphatic Drainage + Professional Ear Cleaning (The grand finale everyone raves about)
The last 10–15 minutes are the undisputed MVP:
- Full-ear kneading until they’re warm and tingling
- Lymphatic drainage from behind the ears down to the collarbone
- Metal ear scoop + vibrating tool + feather triple combo
These 10 minutes give full-body goosebumps. Customers regularly say: “I’d pay separately just for the ear cleaning.”
