Japanese Head Spa
A Japanese Head Spa is a deeply relaxing scalp treatment combining warm water therapy, therapeutic scalp massage, steam, and nourishing scalp treatments. It cleanses and refreshes the scalp, improves circulation, relieves head and neck tension, and provides profound full-body relaxation. Sessions start at $150 at our Newtown, CT studio.
Hair is towel dried after your Head Spa session. Please plan accordingly — we recommend wearing comfortable hair-friendly clothing and avoiding tight styles for your appointment.
Head Spa treatments are not recommended for guests with hair extensions, braids, locs, or recent chemical services within the last 7–10 days. Also not suitable for active scalp infections, open wounds, recent scalp surgery, or severe psoriasis or dermatitis flare-ups.
Yes — therapeutic scalp massage during a Head Spa stimulates blood circulation to the hair follicles, which can support a healthier scalp environment and encourage stronger hair growth over time. Regular Head Spa sessions are a great addition to any hair care routine.
Waxing in Newtown, CT
Yes. We offer bikini line, bikini full, and full Brazilian waxing at Massage by Kath inside Ricci’s Spa in Newtown, CT. All intimate waxing services are performed with premium hard wax for sensitive skin, with full discretion and care.
Waxing results typically last 3 to 6 weeks depending on the area and your individual hair growth cycle. With regular appointments, hair often grows back finer and softer over time.
Allow approximately 2 to 3 weeks of hair growth before your waxing appointment. Hair should be about the length of a grain of rice — roughly a quarter inch — for best results.
Yes. We offer a full range of men’s waxing services in Newtown, CT including brows, ears, nose, chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs, and Manzilian. All services are performed professionally and discreetly in a private spa setting.
For comfort and sanitation, bikini and Brazilian waxing services cannot be performed while you are on your period. Please reschedule at least 24 hours in advance if your cycle begins unexpectedly.
Reiki & Other Services
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing practice that supports relaxation, emotional balance, and nervous system restoration. Sessions are performed fully clothed using gentle hand placements or hands-hovering techniques. Many clients describe feeling deeply calm, grounded, and restored afterward.
Not at all. No prior experience with Reiki is needed. Simply arrive, get comfortable, and allow yourself to receive. Kathleen will guide you through what to expect before your session begins.
