The Best Facial I've Ever Gotten Was on My Scalp

When I arrived at the salon, I was greeted like you would be at any top-tier spa: with warm tea and a consultation. Borges was quick to explain that — like the skin on your face — scalps are like fingerprints: no two people's are exactly the same. "The scalp produces a lot more oil than the face," she says. "It's also forgotten about a lot."

This is why it makes sense that the popular Japanese treatment has migrated to the States: to fully cleanse, exfoliate, and boost the circulation of this oft-forgotten area. (At Masa Kanai, you can book a 60-minute service for $250.)
