Was thrilled to see that AZ Body Bar opened a location at Scottsdale Quarter- I've been following their Insta page @az.body.bar but didn't want to trek to Gilbert to experience. I booked the 60 minute Japanese Headspa with Reve. When I arrived, we chatted about my experience with head spas I've been to, and Reve just gets it- we (well at least I) go to relax and have a moment to escape, not for scalp bootcamp. After getting settled, Reve started with a head massage then transitioned into the main event- what feels very ritualistic, the wash and scalp cleanse. 60 minutes of pure bliss and peace (so much so, my Oura ring thought I took a nap!). I felt so relaxed by the end. I often leave a headspa more relaxed than I came, but feel like my scalp has been overly scrubbed/treated (if that makes sense). I left AZ Body Bar with my scalp feeling balanced, and floated to my car.
A few notes for your first visit-
1) Book online- very easy, plus you'll get auto reminders pushed to you
2) Park in the garage near Etta or Eddie V's then walk to the side where Sol Cantina and Eddie V's is (along the Greenway Hayden Loop)- once you enter the lofts, you'll quickly find the suite.
3) As with all headspa experiences, you'll be given a towel wrap to change into, and then tuck yourself into a bed, it can get a little chilly (especially with the water on then turned off, etc.) so wear cozy socks- they'll provide a booster for under your legs!
4) You leave with wet hair (I remember being surprised the very first time I went to a headspa) so have a plan to head home to blow dry! read more
