A Japanese Head Spa is a water-therapy scalp ritual that combines deep cleansing, expert scalp massage, a hydrating mini-facial and a professional wash and blow-dry. Chatchaya Spa in Penarth is one of only a handful of venues in Wales offering an authentic Japanese Head Spa, with sessions running from one hour to one hour thirty minutes.

Yes — every therapist at Chatchaya Spa is VTCT-certified and trained in Thai massage, holistic therapies and the Japanese Head Spa. The team blends longstanding senior therapists with newly qualified specialists, all working under founders Chanya and Ann who built the Beauty Box group on a foundation of authentic, hands-on Thai treatment.

Chatchaya focuses on skilled hands-on treatments rather than pool and gym facilities, so every visit is built around the therapist and the treatment rather than around amenities. It is one of the only Japanese Head Spa destinations in Wales, draws on authentic Bangkok-rooted Thai techniques, and consistently holds a 5.0-star rating across 500+ verified Fresha reviews.
