Head spas in Manchester.

Manchester has a proper head-spa scene, with several venues listed across the city and its immediate surroundings. As one of the largest urban centres outside London, it's no surprise the market here has developed further than in most Greater Manchester towns, most of which currently have just one listing each.

The venues here range from focused Japanese head spa studios, where the whole session is built around scalp massage and hot towel work, through to salons offering it as one treatment among many. That range means it's worth checking treatment length and price before booking, since a 30-minute add-on and a 90-minute ritual session aren't really comparable experiences. Weekend slots in Manchester tend to book up fastest, particularly at the more established venues, so it's worth planning a little ahead.

Manchester also anchors a cluster of nearby towns — Salford, Altrincham, Bolton and Stockport are all listed separately with their own venues. If the Manchester listings below don't have what you need, those neighbouring pages are worth a look too. Prices across Manchester's venues vary more than the treatment length alone would suggest, so it's worth comparing a couple of listings side by side.
