Sunday Headspa

Sunday Headspa opened in 2024 on Haight Street in San Francisco's Lower Haight neighborhood, built around a single idea: the scalp deserves its own spa day. Rather than offering full-body massages or facials as the main draw, the menu centers on head massages, detoxifying scalp therapies, and treatments aimed at hair thinning, dryness, and irritation.

Techniques pull from both Asian head-spa traditions and European scalp-care methods. Tools include the Takara Belmont Spa Mist, which produces a fine water mist to help products penetrate the scalp, and Alma TED, a non-invasive ultrasound-and-air-pressure system marketed for hair restoration. Hair treatments use Rene Furterer's Triphasic range, among other formulas aimed at nourishing hair from root to tip. The spa also lists facial and body treatments described as tightening and contouring, alongside its scalp-focused core offerings.

All practitioners are licensed through the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, and sessions can be adjusted for sensitive, oily, dry, or normal scalp types. The spa markets itself to adults, including solo visitors, and sits in the moderate price tier rather than the budget or luxury extremes.

Hours run 10am to 7pm Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with shorter 11am to 5pm hours on Tuesday and Wednesday. Walk-ins are accepted, though booking ahead is the more reliable route given the personalized, appointment-driven nature of the treatments.
