GAIA.
Hair & Japanese Head Spa
A ritual for the scalp.
A reset for the mind.
What we do
Two crafts, one studio.
Japanese Head Spa
Microscopic scalp scan and the ritual: assess, cleanse, nourish, restore.
The Hair Salon
Founded by a Dutch top stylist with editorial, music-video and television work. Consultative, precise, scalp-to-strand.

What we offer
Services
Head Spa
Scalp scan
R 250
10 min
A digital read of your scalp: follicles, buildup, circulation. Reviewed together, with notes on what your scalp actually needs.
Mini Experience
R 500
30 min
A condensed scalp ritual. The cleanse, the pressure work, the moment of quiet, kept short enough to fit between everything else.
Full Experience
R 950
60 min
A complete scalp ritual. Deep cleansing, targeted nourishment, and pressure-point massage, performed in sequence, without interruption.
Hair
Cut
from R 300
from 30 min
A considered cut, always with a wash. Shaped to your face, your life, and what your hair actually does.
Blow Dry
from R 460
from 30 min
Finished with precision. The kind of styling that holds through the day.
Colour
from R 600
from 60 min
Root touch-ups, full colour, and toning, carried out with the same deliberateness that defines GAIA.
Highlights
from R 750
from 60 min
T-section, half head, or full, placed with intent. Finished with a matching toner so the colour reads as one piece, not two.
Styling
from R 360
from 30 min
Curls, smoothness, or a silk-press finish. Built to look intentional, not styled-into-place.
Japanese Silk
from R 750
from 60 min
A keratin-rich smoothing treatment, sealed in with heat. Strengthens, controls frizz, and lasts. Priced by hair length.

The head spa experience
More than relaxation.
A foundation for
lasting hair health.
In Japan, scalp care is the beginning of every haircare practice: a deliberate act of cleansing, nourishing, and restoring the skin beneath your hair. At GAIA, every treatment begins here. We use only vegan products, selected for what they do.
Assess
We begin at the scalp, not the strand. A thorough read of its condition before anything is applied.
Cleanse
A deliberate, layered cleanse using vegan formulas matched to your scalp. Nothing generic.
Nourish
Targeted treatment applied with precision. Each product chosen for what it does, not what it claims.
Restore
Pressure-point massage to close the ritual. The moment the body remembers how to be still.
The studio
An intimate space
in the middle of the city.
GAIA sits at 16 Bree Street in Cape Town City Centre, one of the city's most considered streets. Inside, it is quiet. The kind of quiet that is increasingly rare.
We are a small studio by design. The work requires focus, and focus requires space. Every appointment is given its full time.
16 Bree Street, Cape Town
Tue–Fri 09:00–18:00 · Sat 08:30–16:00
Street parking on Bree Street, plus a parking garage around the corner.

An hour of calm suits any season: a treat in summer, a rescue in winter.
