Rooted & Balanced.
More than a scalp treatment, our Bamboo Luxe Head Spa in South Austin is a complete reset—stimulating circulation, clearing buildup, and restoring hydration.

Scalp Facial & Hair Wellness
Austin’s Luxe Head Spa Experience – Why Choose Us?
At Banyan & Bamboo, we don’t just offer scalp treatments - we’re redefining the Head Spa experience in Austin. Inspired by Japanese wellness traditions and elevated with our clinical-meets-luxury approach, our 8-step Head Spa ritual is designed to do more than cleanse your scalp. It restores balance, encourages healthy hair growth, and provides a level of relaxation our clients say they can’t find anywhere else. We invite you to step in, sink deep and disappear for awhile.
Why do guests choose us? Because we pair cutting-edge techniques like halo hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, light, and therapeutic steam with personalized care guided by advanced skin + scalp analysis. Every step and product is tailored to you, for your hair and your goals; whether you need detox therapy for buildup, deep hydration for shine, or just the restorative scalp, face and shoulder massage to ease tension. “I’ve never felt my scalp this clean or my hair this soft” is the kind of feedback we hear every day—and it’s why our guests can't stay away.
Banyan Core Head Spa — Detox, Steam, Glow
$149 | 45 Min
Steam, oils, and expert touch restore your crown. We open with a botanical oil pull, clarify with a purifying, exfoliating double cleanse, then flood the scalp with halo hydrotherapy. A dual mask delivers cooling hydration and antioxidant repair while you enjoy a hand & arm massage. We finish with a silkening conditioner and nourishing oil for luminous hair and a calm, balanced scalp. $149
✨ Level up (60 min): cocoa & shea butter hand wrap + a longer scalp & shoulder massage—true head-to-toe renewal. $194
Detox From the Roots — Purifying Head Spa Protocol $189 | 60 Min
From crown to calm, we begin with a gentle exfoliating scalp spray to dissolve buildup and a pressure-point scalp massage to release tension. A micro-exfoliating shampoo refreshes, followed by a soothing hydration mask. Sink into steam and a luxurious hand and arm massage before we seal shine with a rich conditioner and restorative oil. You’ll float out towel-dried—renewed, radiant, and ready to style. $189

Experience contrast care: heated steam with cooling stones to awaken the senses and restore balance. A nourishing scalp and hair mask steams in while you enjoy a calming hand and arm massage. We finish with restorative oils and a rosewater mist so your scalp feels refreshed and your hair looks radiant (towel-dried, easy to style). $235
