5 x These are the best hair spas in Amsterdam you’ll want to visit.
On TikTok and Instagram, the Japanese hair spas in Amsterdam have been a huge sensation for some time now. Silky smooth hair and a relaxed feeling: who wouldn’t want that? The trend that blew over from its homeland, Japan, seems to have firmly taken root in our country. In Japan, taking care of your scalp is the most normal thing in the world, while in the West, we tend to pay little attention to it. And that’s a shame, as anyone who has visited a Japanese hair spa knows. Not only is the treatment good for your scalp (often, a tailor-made ritual is set up based on the condition of your hair and skin), but it’s also good for your well-being. You won’t feel calmer than after a treatment at one of the spas listed below. Discover the best hair spas in Amsterdam.
Tanoshi Hair Spa
Amsterdam Centre has a new hidden gem thanks to Tanoshi Hair Spa, a true OG among Japanese hair spas in a unique location: Prinseneiland. At Tanoshi, you enter an oasis of tranquillity, and the various treatments make time stand still. And while you’re there, stroll through this historic neighbourhood—equally suitable for the state of mind.

Japanese Head Spa
In March 2023, Amsterdam saw the opening of its first Japanese hair spa: Japanese Head Spa. The owners were intrigued by the videos of hair spa treatments on TikTok and knew immediately that we wanted to bring this to the Netherlands. And so it happened: Japanese Head Spa has been a massive success for a year and has since expanded to two locations.
