Your wash days just got elevated. Curl Haven brings the viral head spa trend on TikTok to Nashville for all the natural curly girls. This new beauty destination in West Nashville gives your hair and scalp love while you relax, providing the ultimate salon experience. Inspired by the Japanese culture, owner Krystal Marie combines these traditions through an intentional focus on your scalp, washing, and special treatments for natural hair. We chatted with Krystal to learn more about Curl Haven and what people can expect when they book their first head spa experience.
What inspired you to create a natural head spa?
To be honest, it just made sense! After moving to Nashville I took about six months to observe the hair culture here. The one thing that stood out to me was that there weren’t very many natural hair salons that catered to the full naturally curly hair experience (curly, straight, or enhanced).
I saw a gap that I could fill and since opening my first studio in December of 2021, I have aimed to provide the ultimate curly girl experience. I initially stumbled across a YouTube video of a Japanese head spa service and the lightbulb came on. Most head spas focused on the relaxing element of the service, often pairing it with a facial. It looked like 60 minutes of heaven and as I continued looking into it, I saw the benefits for curly girls. I knew that this was something I needed to bring to my existing salon. I decided to merge the therapeutic effects of the Japanese Head Spa massage with the elevated experience that my salon has become known for. So I sought out training and curated an experience that would intentionally target hair and scalp health, allow for relaxation, and offer styling options conducive for naturally curly hair.
What to expect?
From the moment you enter the lobby, you can expect a luxury experience. Every aspect of the Head Spa service is curated with curls in mind. From the products and massage techniques used to the styling options and aftercare guide we send you home with, Curl Haven has truly taken curl care to another level.
