We take you to Ivry-sur-Seine, in the Val-de-Marne, where a new-generation institute awaits. Here, a number of wellness specialists with complementary expertise await those in the Paris region who want to be pampered. It's here that we meet Katia, the founder of this astonishing Japanese HeadSpa, which has the added bonus of being adapted to curly hair and locks. Not surprisingly, she's also behind the Pop My Curls concept of personalized curl care boxes. So, if you're worried that this treatment won't suit your hair type, rest assured: whether you've got straight, wavy, curly or frizzy hair, HeadSpa by Pop My Curlswill have you under control. Children are not left out either: from the age of 10, they too can enjoy an experience designed with them in mind.

While the ritual is offered in a variety of formulas to suit different budgets, the key stages that arouse curiosity are always present: hair diagnosis with the naked eye or with a camera that closely observes the scalp, and the relaxation session with the famous hoop. But this is just the tip of the iceberg: thesensory experience goes beyond these two stages, and also includes a holistic dimension inspired byAyuverda. We don't just go there for a hair treatment, but also to relax body and mind.

First, Katia invites us to take a seat in front of the mirror, so that she can study our scalp with the magnifying glass of her camera. Facing us, the screen shows us the state of our roots, and the attention we get can be quite shocking. We see how hair growth can be slowed or even blocked by sebum. Throughout the demonstration, Katia diagnoses, advises and informs us about our hair routine, and then creates a tailor-made treatment to best suit our needs.

And when we say " made-to-measure", we mean it, because for each step of the treatment, she will literally create a minute treatment, using a neutral base enriched with essential oils or not, chosen according to Katia's observations and adapted to any allergies or contraindications. If your package includes a massage, you'll also be able to choose your favorite scent.

Once Katia has established her plan of attack, we don our towels and lie down on the treatment table. Our host then sets the scene with a sound and visual ambience that immediately lulls us to sleep. You take a deep breath and, to the sound of a Tibetan bowl, let yourself relax. And so the ritual begins. The tinkling music gives way to trickling water and a massaging scalp scrub. You'll feel confident and surprised by the treatment, which, depending on the ritual chosen, may also include an upper-body massage,sensory awakening, light therapy, an eye mask combining dermato-cosmetics and lithotherapy (related to stones and crystals), a steam bath and more in-depth hair treatments.


After rinsing our hair thoroughly, we pass under the famous hoop, which first runs over our scalp before gradually positioning itself over our eyes, covered by a warm towel. Earplugs are provided for those who dread this kind of step. Under this curtain of rain, it's as if we're plunged into a meditative state, and it was one of the most pleasant sensations we've ever experienced during a treatment. At the end of this ritual, if you have frizzy, curly or frizzy hair, you can, for an additional fee, ask for your hair to be styled with an adapted and controlled technique.

We go back to the camera step, and that's the satisfying moment: we discover our scalp is smooth, the hairline is no longer clogged, and for us the result is visible. The effects of the treatment continue in the days that follow, with our hair looking denser, shinier and softer. Whether for yourself or as a gift, this moment of well-being is well worth the detour!
