During the pandemic, I got really into ASMR and spa treatment videos. I was self care for the physical touch we weren't able to get. That was when I first learned about head spas and have since gone to a few in Tokyo. I don't think they are too popular in the US so I was surprised that there was a spa locally that specializes in it. One of my good friends actually got me a gift card, which is how I learned about this place. The spa is very discreet. It's a little off the main streets at the end of a residential area with no overt signage so I actually drove past it at first. The good thing is that there's a large parking lot so you don't have to worry about finding parking. Right as you walk inside, you truly get the spa experience. It's well designed, quiet, calming inside. The head spa experience was the same as the ones I've had before - starts with a consultation and scalp examination using the camera, bring up any concerns to determine the right treatments, and ends with another scalp examination to see the results. I had Michelle helping me who was really great. She was knowledgeable, addressed all my concerns, and I thought her suggestions were all good. I added on a lymphatic facial massage, which I think is well worth the price. My hair and scalp looked and felt really great after. The whole experience was so relaxing and one of the best self care things you can do for yourself or gift someone you love. read more

Elysian Head Spa provides great, friendly, and attentive service. I treated myself to the "Restoration"- their signature men's experience. Michelle provided outstanding service and was very diligent with my treatment experience. She was very friendly and kept me informed throughout the entire service. It was very relaxing and my scalp felt rejuvenated. I also booked the complimentary consultation with their owner, Katie, following my treatment. Katie was very informative and walked me through the different treatment potentials for my hair and provided potential options to mitigate my thinning hairline. She was very genuine and honest with her feedback. Overall, I had a great experience with the Restorative Treatment and Consultation and will be coming back. Absolutely recommend for those looking out for their scalp/ hair! read more

From the moment you walk into the door, you know this business cares about their customers. I had an amazing consult with Katie regarding their laser treatment and then a luxurious scalp treatment with Zoya. You get to see up close before and after scalp images to see how greatly improved the area is post treatment. The atmosphere is so relaxing, beautiful and welcoming. Pricing is on point with the amount of excellent services received. Products are amazing and I purchased 4 hair care items. I cannot wait to go back and start my laser treatments. If you are looking for help with hair loss or a unique way to treat yourself, book now!! read more

I had my initial appointment for a head spa treatment and consultation. When I arrived, I was informed that the consultation portion would need to be rescheduled because the specialist was sick. While I completely understand that illness happens, I believe I should have been notified before arriving for my appointment. Rather than complain, I simply rescheduled the consultation. I went through with my appointment, the session itself was okay, I have curly hair, and after the session, my hair was left extremely tangled. Additionally, my hair was not put into a bun or braid as described in the service. Given the premium price of these services, I expected to leave feeling at least somewhat comfortable and presentable afterward. I was not. 10 minutes before my rescheduled consultation I received a call to reschedule again. While I understand that unexpected situations arise, canceling only ten minutes beforehand is not professional. I was driving in from SA which is not close and this was the second cancellation. I was very frustrated. The receptionist stated someone would follow up with me by the end of the day which was Monday or the following morning, but no one did. I eventually had to call back myself on Friday. At that time, I was told that the co-owner would contact me. Laura Kirby then emailed me on Sunday asking for a convenient time to speak, which I provided. However, I never received a call, and if one was made, no voicemail was left. I was really excited for my appointment but this situation has made me feel overlooked and unimportant as a customer. I chose this business because of its specialized services in hair loss, but the repeated cancellations, lack of communication, and failure to follow through have left me feeling that my time and concerns were not valued. read more

First, the folks at Elysian Head Spa are so kind! Really lovely and welcoming environment. I got the 45-minute "Alchemist" focused on the scalp. It was super cool to see the before and after with their hi-def camera. The treatment really cleaned my scalp, which felt great! I was unfortunately a little disappointed by the back/bottom of my scalp at the end of the treatment -- my hair was greasy and oily in that area even when it dried (which doesn't happen when I shampoo/condition/properly rinse my own hair). I think that area just wasn't properly rinsed, since the hair on the top of my scalp was clean and soft when dried. I bought a few products from the Oway line they carry (shampoo, conditioner, and "dry drops"). However, they also suggested the density/fortifying spray, and I was told "if you use this product, your hair will grow," which felt a little misleading -- hair growth is complicated, so it felt like a big claim. Overall, it was a nice experience, but a little expensive for what it was. Highly recommend if you want to treat yourself! read more

I loved the calm atmosphere at the Spa. Michelle did my micro-needling. She told me what to expect before, during and after. She was super knowledgeable and thorough. I'll definitely be back to experience more of the Spa's services! read more

Rachel was wonderful! The entire experience from the entry way/ welcome space to the individual treatment rooms to the skills of the practitioner were incredible. I loved the weighted blanket time during my treatment. It allowed me to melt into the chair and forget about all my troubles. Also, I appreciated the before and after close up's of my scalp as well as the personalized product recommendations to use at home. It was fascinating to get that close and personal with my hair/scalp health. 10/10 recommended. Thank you thank you Rachel and the entire Elysian Head Spa team! You created a true oasis of self-care and tranquility for your patrons. read more

It was ok, but a bit expensive for the service that I received. I expected much more...

I've only had one other head spa experience before and this Elysian experience felt different. Marina talked me through their process, took before and after pictures, and it felt like she took her time to really provide a nourishing experience. The other head spa I went to felt like there was a checklist for the technician to get through whereas it felt like Marina was intentional, meticulous, and giving my scalp time and care. I appreciate her offering a heads up how a particular treatment mask might feel so that I knew it was supposed to be tingly. It felt like Marina really cared about the process and experience. My favorite are the before and after pictures. Seeing the contrast of less or no build up was so satisfying. read more

Absolutely AMAZING experience. Highly recommend the 90 minute retreat. Zoja was incredibly nice, detailed, knowledgeable... my scalp, hair & I are in heaven. A goody bag & take home treatment, I'm set! This business is also incredible to work with too, they're so nice, reasonable and responsive when I got confused or had questions. 10000\10 read more

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't need love too! I will absolutely be back! read more

This was my first experience at Elysian and Mallika was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and kind. All my stress melted away!

Ah-mazing! Didn't realize how much I'd love a hair spa treatment until it happened :) Best of luck ladies - you're killing it.

The experience from start to finish exceeded my expectations. I've never been to a hair spa before and with the current state of my scalp and product usage the treatment I had helped shift an imbalance I had any my scalp and hair feel and look so much better along with healthier. I try to get in at least once a month. read more

Elysian Head Spa is a vibe. From the moment you walk in, to doing your best to try and stay awake during the head spa session, to the tea they serve you on the way out, you are the only one that matters to them in that moment. That's a rare experience and one I'll be enjoying again. read more

From the moment I walked into Elysian Head Spa, I felt at ease--Brenda greeted me with such warmth, and Marina made the experience unforgettable. She took time to understand what I was looking for, walked me through the entire process, and gave thoughtful, personalized recommendations after analyzing my scalp. The Alchemist service was beyond amazing--I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and truly cared for. I'm already counting down the days until my next visit. Thank you, Brenda, Marina, and the entire Elysian Head Spa team. This experience was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommended! read more

Wonderful, luxury clean-product, head spa. I have had several head spa treatments over the years, Elysium is the real deal. It is truly the most amazing blend of a treatment that benefits your hair and scalp, and a totally, relaxing, nurturing experience. I had Aly for my service - and she was so knowledgeable and talented. I felt so soothed and my hair and scalp feel incredible. The products they use are very clean and they clearly have had a lot of training and knowledge about technique. I think this treatment will stay with me for weeks. I highly recommend them! read more

I have visited Elysian Head Spa twice, and I'll definitely be returning! My first visit was for the Bespoke scalp treatment. If you're unsure which choice is right for you, then the expert staff will let you know. At the beginning of your appointment, the treatment specialist (mine was Marina) uses a camera to take a close-up photo of your scalp to see exactly what will work best for your individual needs. Then you settle in under a blanket and an eye mask and wait for the experience to start. (I would recommend the weighted blanket - Elysian offers blanket choices!) The treatment itself was exactly what you want - relaxing, soothing, indulgent, and luxurious! The products have an aromatic, botanical smell, and they feel incredible as your treatment specialist massages them on your scalp. Seriously, you'll love the cooling, tingling feeling. And the hot-water waterfall over your head at the conclusion of the treatment was glorious. Once the treatment has finished, you'll get another scalp photo taken, and you actually can see how much cleaner, smoother, and more polished everything looks! You also get the additional treat of hot tea and a chocolate during the post-treatment consultation. My second visit to Elysian was for the Folix laser treatment. The laser helps with hair thinning and hair loss. (As I've gotten older, I noticed some thinning at my temples.) This treatment also starts with a consultation (mine was with Katie) and a good look at your scalp. Once your goals are established, the laser treatment begins. I was afraid it would be uncomfortable, but it was virtually pain free - and super quick and easy. I haven't noticed any changes yet, but Katie recommended four treatments for maximum results. I've already booked my next Folix session. And, of course, this visit concludes hot tea and chocolate. Elysian Head Spa should be on your list of must-do self care if you're in Austin! If you're in town for a vacation, then definitely treat yourself. If you're lucky enough to live here, then you'll want to become a regular. read more
