Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I expect to be in the spa?
For every head spa appointment, we require an additional 15-30 mins for the consultation and check-in and the follow up. So if you are booked for a 60min session for example, please plan to be in our salon for a total of 75-90 min minutes.
How long/strong is the massage?
Please do not mistake our head Spa as a "massage.” Posh is not a massage parlor. Since our specialists are working and touching your head, scalp, feet, and hand throughout the service, the process may feel like a massage. However, our head Spa methodology was never designed or intended to be a massage. Our concept is rooted in a holistic approach for scalp therapy. We definitely want to make our clients feel relaxed while they are in our chair; nevertheless, we cannot accommodate requests for stronger/longer massages as massages are not the focus of our head Spa concept.
Can my friend and I get the Hair Spa done at the same time?
Yes ! We are now booking groups of 2 -4
PLEASE NOTE - for groups over 4 or more please email us @ poshlash.dayspa@gmail.com to accommodate your groups need.
Are blow outs included?
You've just completed a head spa session to relieve stress and deeply nourish your hair. The treatment needs time to fully absorb into the roots. A full blowout is not included and requires a separate appointment if desired. We typically towel-dry your hair and provide a complimentary hair claw or head spa wrap. For styled blowouts, please book additionally with a stylist (subject to availability; not guaranteed immediately after).For convenience, add a 5–10 minute flash dry at our dry bar when booking—perfect for colder days.
HOW OFTEN CAN THIS BE DONE?
A Head Spa is an Anti-Aging necessity! Anywhere from once a week to once or twice a month. If you are treating hair loss, once a week is strongly recommended.
Will the Head Spa affect my hair color/keratin?
All of our ingredients are safe for any kind of treated hair! However, if you have recently done any kind of chemical services within a week before your hair Spa appointment, there is a chance that the color/keratin may lift during our detoxing process. Therefore, we recommend customers to wait at least a week after any kind of hair treatment.
We also recommend waiting at least a week after having a head spa Treatment before doing any kind of chemical services. You wouldn’t want to apply chemicals to a freshly cleaned scalp!
Is this service recommended for textured hair?
Our specialists are experienced with all hair types—including thin and fragile, thick and coarse, wavy, curly, porous, locs, and even bald heads. The head spa primarily focuses on scalp treatment, so healthy hair grows from a healthy scalp. As long as you have a scalp, you're eligible! We simply require clear access to the scalp.*Note: We cannot perform services on hair with extensions, braids, or sew-ins, as these block scalp access. Locs are welcome if the scalp remains accessible (not recommended on freshly twisted locs).
Is the Head Spa safe for expecting mothers?
Our head spa is safe for pregnant guests, but we recommend consulting your doctor first—especially if you have concerns about exposure to herbs or essential oils (e.g., lavender).Key consideration: The treatment requires lying flat on your back for the entire duration. In the second and third trimesters, this position may compress a major blood vessel, potentially causing dizziness or reduced blood flow to the baby.For your safety and comfort, please check with your healthcare provider before booking. If lying flat is not advisable, we suggest waiting until after delivery.

Aftercare Tips for Lasting Benefits - Keep your hair covered to protect it from dust, dirt, and to retain moisture.
Avoid applying hair oil—the treatment's deep conditioning is sufficient; extra oil can make hair sticky, especially on oilier scalps.
Skip heat styling (straighteners, blowers) to prevent roughness and preserve results.
Do not wash your hair for 2–3 days to allow full absorption of nutrients into the roots—washing too soon strips natural moisture and diminishes the treatment's effects.
