PINECREST, FL – Jun 1, 2026 – LAVA Head Spa, the bi-coastal Japanese-inspired head spa with locations in Pinecrest, Florida and Ridgewood, New Jersey, today announced the continued expansion of its signature scalp wellness experience as consumer demand for Japanese head spa treatments reaches a record high. With searches for “Japanese head spa” up 233% year over year and over 360 million related views across social media, LAVA is positioned at the center of one of the most viral wellness movements of the decade.
Founded by Monica Fernandez a licensed cosmetologist with over a decade of professional experience LAVA Head Spa offers a luxury head spa experience rooted in centuries-old Japanese ritual, where the scalp is treated as the center of full-body wellness. Each visit blends deep scalp massage, a multi-step scalp detox, hot stone therapy, custom aromatherapy, and a signature scent inspired by botanicals from volcanic regions around the world.
“In Japan, the scalp has been honored as the foundation of relaxation, beauty, and balance for centuries,” said Monica Fernandez, founder of LAVA Head Spa. “After more than ten years working hands-on with clients as a cosmetologist, I built LAVA because I wanted to give people something the American beauty industry has been missing a true sanctuary for the scalp, designed around the rituals I’ve spent my career perfecting.”

WHY HEAD SPA, AND WHY NOW
The global head spa movement sometimes called the “facial for your Scalp” has exploded in popularity as consumers shift from surface-level beauty toward holistic wellness. Where traditional salons focus on the hair shaft, a head spa focuses on the scalp environment: relaxation, circulation, balance, and a healthy foundation for hair growth.
“Stress lives in the scalp,” said Fernandez. “What we’ve built is part wellness ritual, part self-care escape, and part education. People walk out of LAVA feeling lighter, calmer, and more in tune with their bodies — and they finally understand their own hair for the first time.”
LAVA’s scalp facials and Japanese head spa treatments incorporate add-on experiences including red light therapy, high-frequency therapy, the LAVA Lift microcurrent treatment, hot stone candle massage, custom aromatherapy, scalp oiling, mini glass facials, a pregnancy-safe ritual, and rotating seasonal experiences such as the Pumpkin Plump and Fall Detox.
TWO LOCATIONS, ONE PHILOSOPHY
LAVA Head Spa currently operates two flagship locations:
• LAVA Head Spa Pinecrest — Pinecrest, FL
• LAVA Head Spa Ridgewood — Ridgewood, NJ
A third location in Lakewood Ranch, Florida is planned as part of LAVA’s multi-state expansion. Each location is designed as a multi-sensory escape — soft lighting, custom aroma, warm towels, hand-poured candles, and trained scalp specialists who guide every guest through the LAVA ritual.
