Have you ever dealt with a very stressful week that makes your head feel heavy? Instead of just sleeping it off, we say go and get a head massage instead. There are many places in Singapore to get one, if you know where to look.
Benefits of head massage
However, not all places allow getting head massages without any hair and scalp treatments involved. But if you prefer a head massage without the extras, here are eight places in Singapore that give you just that.

This massage parlour uses Japanese techniques that target lymphatic vessels and tense muscles to deal with sleep deprivation and headaches due to immense stress. It also uses a dry massage method that allows you to slip into the appointment even in the middle of the day and go back to the office without worrying about getting rid of oils and balms post-session.
