Why we started melt headspa
Mint Hair Crafting has always been built on treatments for healthy hair, thoughtful service, and a reputation for scalp massage. Back in 2016, I redesigned our salon plumbing to create a more relaxing wash experience — complete with dim lighting and aromatherapy — because I’ve always believed that amazing salon experiences begin with ‘the best part’, an ahhh-mazing shampoo massage.
When we relocated from Royal Oak to Ferndale in 2021, I knew I wanted to expand what we offered our guests, but I was searching for something that felt deeply aligned with my passion and vision. In 2022, after many inspiring conversations with my team and longtime guests — who often told me how much they looked forward to my scalp massages — I began to reconnect with my “why.”
That’s when one of our stylists, Em Chon, shared her excitement about Japanese headspas and how she planned to seek them out while traveling. Her passion, combined with my own foundation in hair care and scalp massage inspired me to create a service that felt nurturing, restorative, and rooted in self-care. The Melt Headspa was born from that vision: a high-touch, thoughtful ritual designed to support scalp wellness, promote healthy hair, and give our guests a moment of true pause.
Today, we’ve grown far beyond what I ever imagined, and I’m deeply grateful — to my team + our guests for their inspiration + for trusting this vision. Melt Headspa is not just a service, it’s the heart of who we are: a space for self-care through hair care.
With gratitude,

REviews + Reputation
“I had the Melt Headspa service by Jill and felt incredibly relaxed from start to finish. My favorite part was the brushing and the soothing waterfall on my head—pure bliss! Everything applied to my hair smelled amazing. Next time, I plan to add a blowout to complete the experience. The staff was warm and welcoming, greeting me with a smile and offering a drink right away. I highly recommend this service for anyone looking to unwind and feel pampered.”
“What a lovely gem in Ferndale!
I received the Japanese head spa treatment that was AMAZING!!!!!! Katie was so informative and absolutely lovely! You must give this a try -you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Katie and MINT for for giving me an hour of bliss 😊”
“I love Mint so much. The customer service is second to none. I enjoy to treat myself to the Head spa every so often and it the most relaxing experience! This is a gem of a salon and I highly recommend it!”
“I had a great experience at the melt head spa at mint hair crafting. Megz did my treatment. I booked a signature melt headspa experience without a blowout. I came in feeling stressed, frazzled, and exhausted and left feeling lighter and rejuvenated.
It was freezing outside and the treatment started a little later than scheduled, so they graciously offered me a complimentary blowout. The blowout was fabulous and the products used were dreamy.
The vibe in that place is unmatched. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, the staff works great as a team. Those things make a huge difference in how a place feels. I will definitely refer and return.”
