Vietnamese Head Spa in Saigon
Tong Gia offers the Vietnamese herbal head spa at 225 Duong Thi Muoi Street, Tan Chanh Hiep Ward, District 12 (open daily 8:00–19:00) and at Unit T16-21, The Manhattan, Vinhomes Grand Park, Long Binh Ward, Thu Duc City (open daily 9:00–20:00). The herbal head spa costs 150,000 VND for 45 minutes (about $6), the head spa with neck and shoulder massage is 250,000 VND for 60 minutes (about $10), and the more focused head care session is 750,000 VND for 60 minutes (about $29).
A Vietnamese head spa is part hair wash, part scalp massage, and it is a popular local experience in Saigon. You lie back on a bed, your hair is washed with warm water and herbs, and in between the technician works slowly over your scalp, temples and the back of your head.
Three head spa options and how they differ
Vietnamese herbal head spa, 45 min (150,000 VND, about $6). The classic herbal hair wash with scalp massage. A good choice if you want to unwind for under an hour or simply have clean, fresh hair after a hot day in the city.
Head spa + neck and shoulder massage, 60 min (250,000 VND, about $10). The same herbal wash, plus extra time on the neck and the tops of the shoulders. This suits people whose tightness runs from the head down into the shoulders. If your shoulders are the main problem, a full neck and shoulder massage may fit better.
Head care session, 60 min (750,000 VND, about $29). A longer, more detailed session that keeps the focus on the head, following the Tong Gia approach of observation first and then acupoint work. It suits people who carry a lot of tension around the head and temples and want the practitioner to spend the full hour there.
What happens during a herbal hair wash at Tong Gia
- A quick look. Even for a head spa, the technician first notices how you hold your neck and shoulders and how tired your face looks. This habit comes from the face-reading practice of the founder, Lương Y Tống Văn Huynh, a traditional Vietnamese wellness master.
- Scalp acupressure. Fingertips press and circle across the scalp while the other hand steadies your head, then work both sides of the head in a slow, even rhythm.
- Herbal wash and rinse. Warm water and herbs, with more massage between rinses.
- Neck and shoulders (in the 60-minute version). Kneading along the neck and across the shoulders.
Tell the technician if the water is too hot or the pressure too firm; they will check with you during the session anyway.
Who enjoys a Vietnamese head spa in Saigon
- Visitors who want to try a local experience that is gentle and easy to fit between sightseeing.
- People who spend the day at a screen and feel tension around the eyes and temples.
- Anyone who struggles to switch off in the evening; the slow, quiet rhythm helps many guests unwind. You may also like the sleep acupressure page.
If you have a scalp condition or recent injury to the head or neck, please see a licensed physician first and mention it before the session.
