A NEW spa salon is set to open in the city centre.

Luna Wellbeing Circle is set to open on Wednesday (October 30) in The Gallery shopping arcade on The Shambles, Worcester.

Wellbeing and holistic therapist, Sharon Townsend, who owns the spa salon, said: "This will be an exclusive, one-to-one salon experience specifically for women.

"I'll be the first dedicated Japanese Head Spa salon in Worcestershire and it's ideal for anyone who wants to completely switch off.

"It's relaxing, luxurious and women will be feel empowered by it."

Luna Wellbeing Circle will offer services by appointment only, with treatments lasting an average of one hour.

The Japanese Head Spa went viral online earlier this year, achieving millions of views on social media app TikTok as influencers in cities such as London and New York delivered positive reviews.

On the treatment, which is rooted in Japanese culture, Mrs Townsend said: "I use a magnifying camera to assess the health of the scalp and its condition.

"I specifically look at what treatments their scalp and hair need, for example, if they have dry skin.

"It helps with hair growth and improving blood supply around the head.

"Mood lighting, rainforest showers of different strengths, sound, and touch all add to the sensation."

Luna Wellbeing Circle's menu features facials and massages which can added onto Japanese Head Spa packages or booked individually.

Mrs Townsend already runs a monthly women's circle at Perdiswell Young People's Leisure Club off Droitwich Road, Worcester designed to empower through meditation.

Mrs Townsend said: "Every appointment will feature meditation and breathwork too, as an holistic experience.

"Women today need to be able to switch off and be kinder to themselves.

"They might suffer from anxiety, or they may be going through the menopause - there are a lot of pressures in life.

"I wanted to provide something for them."

Mrs Townsend worked for the NHS for 29 years until the Covid-19 pandemic and has been an holistic therapist for over four years.

Mrs Townsend: "I've been working on this for around 12 months and I'm excited to open - the feedback I've had from women in my monthly circles has been great."

Opening days are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday by appointment only.
