It treats the scalp and the tension together
Most people arrive for the hair and leave talking about their neck. The traditional Vietnamese sequence works the scalp, the neck and the shoulders as one area.

Why it is worth it
The herbal blend is chosen for your scalp
Peony root, ginger and lemongrass in hot water, adjusted after your therapist has actually looked at the scalp rather than poured a standard mix.
You leave with dry, finished hair
Treatment mask, rinse and a full blow dry are part of the appointment. Nobody walks back onto Mount Eden Road with wet hair.
Choosing a practitioner
The value here is entirely in the hands and the sequence. Ask how long the practitioner has been doing the traditional method, not how new the basin is.
Asked about peony ritual
Will it help with hair loss?
It clears buildup and improves the condition of the scalp, which is the ground the hair grows from. For shedding and thinning, the scalp detox programme is the treatment that targets it directly.
Is it suitable for coloured or treated hair?
Yes. Tell your therapist what you have had done and when, so the blend and the water temperature are set accordingly.
How often should I have it?
Whenever you want it. Clients under stress often book monthly; most people treat it as a seasonal reset.
Also in hair and scalp
Start with a plan, not a guess.
A 45 minute mapping appointment reads your skin and sets the order of treatments. Nothing is booked until you agree to it.
