Welcome to
Ayame Head Spa
A moment for your scalp, your senses and yourself.
Ayame is a Japanese-inspired Head Spa created as a sanctuary in the heart of London. The moment you step inside, the outside world fades away. Warm lighting, natural textures, flowing water and carefully considered details create a sense of calm and escape.
AYAME brings the beauty of Asian-inspired head spa rituals to modern London, creating a space to slow down, release tension and reconnect with the senses.
Our treatments take place in an open, shared space, inspired by the traditional atmosphere of Asian head spas. The gentle sounds and presence of other guest are naturally part of the experience.
Slow down, Let go. Be present.

Will my hair be styled afterwards?
No. All treatments include a light dry and natural finish.
Please note this is not a professional blow-dry or styling service. If you require styling for an event afterwards, we recommend arranging this separately.
