Session flow and techniques
This service begins with a choice of eucalyptus or peppermint essential oil applied to the scalp (not to the hair). You will then provide a brush or comb for the scalp teasing step — bring your own or purchase a brand-new one at the spa. That initial oil and brushing sequence prepares the scalp for hands-on work.
After scalp teasing, the therapist uses gentle fingertip stimulation across the scalp and a targeted facial sequence. Facial work combines fingertip massage with silicone suction cups used in upward suctioning and sweeping motions to address muscles such as the masseter, orbicularis oris, buccinator, orbicularis oculi, and zygomaticus major.
Why clients choose this
Clients book this treatment for deep relaxation and targeted tension relief around the head and face. Reviews describe relief from jaw and neck tension, emotional release during treatment, and an overall sense of being deeply relaxed and cared for — outcomes our team consistently delivers in this in-house favorite.
There are practical trade-offs to consider: the service is 60 MINUTES and priced at $120, and the therapist needs a brush or comb you provide (or one purchased at the spa). Demand peaks in Jan, Feb, Nov and Dec, when dry winter air and holiday stress often increase bookings.
What to expect afterward
Many guests leave feeling relaxed, with reduced facial and head tension and a general sense of calm — outcomes reflected in our guest feedback. Because the technique combines scalp stimulation and targeted facial suctioning, people often notice immediate softening in jaw and forehead areas and an improved sense of relaxation, though individual responses vary.
Practical details matter: arrive a few minutes early so the therapist can review sensitivities or allergies and confirm your brush/comb choice. Located in Montrose near the Menil Collection, My Spa Joy is convenient for combining this treatment with dining or other wellness appointments around Houston’s Inner Loop.
