We are Elysian Head Spa
Austin’s Home for Transformative Scalp Treatments
As we started dreaming about the possibility of Elysian Head Spa, our vision wasn’t just to create another spa—it was to design a space where science-backed treatments meet indulgent, results-driven techniques, elevating your hair health and redefining scalp care.
From start to finish, every detail is crafted with intention and precision and is all about the results you are seeking. We believe in caring for our clients as we would our dearest friends—supporting progress through education, advanced modalities, and nurturing conversations around the vulnerability of hair and scalp concerns.
“Beyond the results, the entire session was incredibly relaxing. The calming atmosphere, soothing massage, and attention to detail made it an unforgettable experience. I felt completely pampered and rejuvenated.”
– McKenzie C.
Rooted in Austin,
Driven by Community
Austin is more than our home—it is our inspiration. In a city alive with confident, strong-willed individuals who prioritize wellness and empower one another, we strive to be your trusted resource, your personal retreat, and the place where real transformation begins for every person that enters our space.
Whether you’re a go-getter squeezing in self-care between meetings or a busy parent in need of reprieve, our treatments match your energy and priorities with real results.
As Austin grows, so does our vision—to create more local impact where people are seen, supported and celebrated. Because Austin deserves nothing less.
“At Elysian Head Spa, our mission is deeply personal. We created this space to empower people to feel confident and cared for while addressing the often-overlooked vulnerability of hair and scalp health. It’s not just about delivering results—it’s about redefining how we approach wellness with intention, expertise, and community at the heart of everything we do.”
– Katie & Laura, Founders of Elysian Head Spa
Our Founders & Philosophy
Principles That Guide Every TreatmentElysian was founded by wellness enthusiasts who were determined to reimagine how we approach hair and scalp health. With backgrounds in critical care nursing, tech, and high-growth start-ups—including extensive experience collaborating with cosmetic surgeons, estheticians, and dermatologists in the wellness industry—our founders saw the need for a blend of clinical expertise and therapeutic indulgence.
Our Elysian philosophy rests on four pillars:
Advanced
Modalities
From the FDA-approved FoLix hair laser to therapeutic scalp exfoliation, we combine cutting-edge technology with soothing rituals for visible, lasting results.
Tailored,
Holistic Wellness
We’re thinking about more than just your hair and scalp. With things like our lymphatic and pressure point massage techniques, we ease tension, support lymph drainage and promote healthy follicle growth.
Clean, Eco-Friendly Products
Our product lines, featuring Oway and KNESKO, were thoughtfully chosen for their clean, high-quality ingredients. Oway stands out with its biodynamic, organic, vegan formulations and 99% plastic-free packaging, reflecting our unwavering commitment to sustainability without ever compromising on results.
An Education-First Approach
From demystifying scalp health with our Trichoscope analysis to empowering you with the knowledge and tools to maintain your results long after your visit—you can think of us as your personal scalp coach.
“An absolutely incredible experience! Elysian Head Spa is pure relaxation and luxury—every detail is designed to melt stress away. The scalp treatments, soothing ambiance, and expert touch left me feeling completely refreshed and rejuvenated. If you’re looking for the ultimate self-care experience in Austin, this is it!”
