Di Mattia & Co’s New Head Spa Experience.

By Louise May

Introducing a Head Spa experience to the salon felt like the most natural next step for Di Mattia & Co. With the space available, the team had been looking for something special that would elevate their client experience to the next level.

Editor of Mocha Hair, Louise May, recently had the pleasure of chatting with owner Kerrie Di Mattia about this exciting addition to her salon. A beautiful basin experience has always been a high priority—it’s one of the things clients love most and frequently mention in reviews, alongside the salon’s high service standards.

Recognising that clients in their rural community were traveling two to three hours to access premium scalp and hair wellness treatments in the city, Kerrie knew something had to change. “That didn’t sit right with us. Why should people have to leave town for something so beneficial?” she explains.

Determined to provide a high-end, resultsdriven experience without the long trip, the team introduced the Head Spa—taking what they already do so well to a whole new level.

What can clients expect when they visit?

Clients can expect an experience that is both indulgent and results focused. From the moment they arrive, it’s all about relaxation and self-care. The room is private and tranquil, with dimmed lighting and an oasis of greenery. Actually, it’s so nice that I often find members of the team chilling in there when it’s not in use—it just has the most beautiful, calming energy!

Our spa specialists begin each service with a professional scalp analysis to understand the client’s needs, then guide them through a multistep treatment that includes dry brushing, scalp detoxification, a warm oil deep scalp massage, a neck, shoulder & arm massage, deep cleansing, and steam-infused hydration.

The reclining basin, healing sounds, and calming aromatherapy make it an experience that is so beneficial for both the scalp and the mind.

For our Head Spa treatments, we’ve carefully selected Actyva—a premium scalp and hair wellness range distributed by Sabre (Joico) that perfectly complements the other beautiful products we use, such as organic carrier oils and high-quality aromatherapy oils for a truly sensory experience.

Actyva’s formulas combine the best of science and nature, using botanical ingredients that work to rebalance the scalp, regulate oil production, and promote stronger, healthier hair. Free from harsh chemicals and rich in natural extracts, Actyva enhances the effectiveness of our scalp rituals, ensuring that every treatment is as nurturing as it is results-driven.

What are the benefits of a Head Spa?

Our Head Spa isn’t just about pampering—it’s about real scalp and hair health. The treatments help remove buildup, regulate oil production, and improve circulation, which supports healthier hair growth.

Over the past few years, we’ve noticed many of our clients struggling with scalp issues, including hair loss, due to a wide range of reasons. While we recognise (but don’t diagnose) these concerns, we are able to help guide our clients on the path to a healthier scalp and hair.

Beyond the physical benefits, it’s also about stress relief—because who doesn’t need that?!

Can you give us an idea of what is on the menu at the Head Spa?

We currently offer two signature experiences, designed to complement the high level of service our salon is already known for: Refresh Ritual – 60 minutes
A deeply cleansing scalp care experience that includes a professional scalp analysis, dry brushing, warm oil scalp massage, deep cleanse, detoxifying scalp exfoliation, steam-infused hair mask, hot towel wrap, and a professional blow-dry. Ideal for those wanting a fresh start for their scalp.

Signature Scalp – 90 minutes
A more intensive version of the Refresh Ritual, with an extended massage, deeper detox, and additional focus on scalp contraindications. Perfect for those looking for a more in-depth treatment and deeper relaxation.

We also offer a 30-minute LED Therapy Addon
The perfect complement to either of our rituals, taking scalp health and relaxation to the next level.

Using advanced low-level light therapy this treatment helps stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healthier hair growth.

For clients experiencing scalp sensitivity, excess oil, hair thinning, or slow growth, LED therapy is a game-changer. The light wavelengths penetrate the scalp at a cellular level, encouraging better oxygenation and nutrient absorption, which in turn supports stronger, healthier hair. It’s a simple yet powerful way to boost the results of our Head Spa treatments.

For us, this isn’t just another service—it’s a natural extension of what we already do best. It’s our way of elevating our clients experience and giving them access to premium scalp & self-care—right here at home.
