Twenty-five minutes to an hour and a half
Head spa & herbal hair wash in Da Nang
The ritual Da Nang does better than anywhere at the price, and the one most visitors book twice.
Gội đầu dưỡng sinh, in plain English
The name means restorative hair washing, and the emphasis is on restorative. You recline fully clothed with your neck cradled over a basin while a technician works a herbal shampoo through your scalp at massage pace, twice. Everything else on the menu is built around those two lathers.
What the minutes actually buy
A short wash of 25 to 30 minutes is the double shampoo and a scalp massage. Each step up adds hands-on work: neck and shoulder release, facial cleansing or a mask, herbal steam, hot stones across the shoulders. Across 6 Da Nang houses that publish their prices (checked 2 October 2026), a 25 to 30 minute hair wash costs 120K-350K VND, a 45-minute head spa 250K-550K, an hour 380K-650K and 70 to 90 minutes 450K-900K. The spread inside each band is the house, not the hands: a quiet two-seat studio and a large herbal spa charge differently for the same sixty minutes.
The herbs are not decoration
Grapefruit peel, locust pod and lemongrass decoctions are the traditional base, chosen for scalp circulation and for the smell that stays in your hair for a day. A house that brews its own will tell you what is in the pot, and usually enjoys being asked.
Why it costs a fraction of Seoul
The same sequence marketed as a Japanese or Korean head spa abroad runs several times these rates. The technique travelled; the cost base stayed home. See the full table on the prices page.
