This was Li Yunling's first time having a head massage. At first, she thought that a head massage was just lying there while the therapist helped her wash her hair and give her a massage. Now she realizes that is not the case.
She lay down, with a special head massage pillow placed over her head. After she was done lying down, the head massage therapist asked, "Hello, what kind of essential oil do you use?"
Li Yunling really didn't understand, so Su Tiantian, who was sitting next to her, said calmly, "Can you tell me what essential oils there are?"
The head therapist said enthusiastically, "Okay. We have lavender essential oil, tea tree essential oil, rosemary essential oil, peppermint essential oil, ylang-ylang essential oil, rose essential oil, and geranium essential oil. Each essential oil has different benefits."
Su Tiantian said, "Based on your professional expertise, what kind of essential oil do you think would be best for my friend's hair?"
The head therapist looked at the pregnant Su Tiantian and noticed that she spoke politely but seemed knowledgeable. So she said, "This lady has long, black hair and no dandruff. Her hair quality is good. I think lavender or rose essential oil would be good for this."
Su Tiantian said while looking at her phone, "Then let's use lavender essential oil. It can soothe nerves, relieve stress, and promote sleep. It can also relieve scalp tension. My friend has been too busy and tired recently, so he needs to get some rest."
The head therapist said, "Okay, then, ma'am, wouldn't you like a head massage?"
Su Tiantian said, "You should see that I'm pregnant, so it's not convenient for me to get a hair massage. Here are two coupons for a hair massage. My friend will get the hair massage, and I'll just wash and blow dry my hair. Is that okay?"
Su Tiantian took out two coupons from her bag.
They booked a garden villa and were given two head massage coupons. This was the reason why Su Tiantian and Li Yunling appeared here. They didn’t get any head massage coupons when they came last time (they didn’t stay in a garden villa last time).
Perhaps Su Tiantian's request was within a reasonable range, so the head therapist agreed.
She said, "Sure, how about I ask another colleague to come over and wash your hair for you."
Su Tiantian said: "Thank you."
The head therapist gently massaged Li Yunling's forehead, temples and scalp with her fingers, starting from the hairline and gradually moving backwards in a circular motion for a few minutes. Then she picked up a bottle of essential oil, dropped some on the palm of her hand, rubbed her hands to warm them up, and evenly applied it on Li Yunling's scalp, rubbing it gently with her fingertips. It is estimated that this will promote the absorption of the essential oil.
Li Yunling felt completely relaxed. She said to Su Tiantian, who was lying on the head massage bed next to her and washing her hair, "Sister, so this is what a head massage is like. It feels quite comfortable."
Su Tiantian replied: "It means I need to lie down for a longer time."
Then the head therapist uses a massage comb to start from the forehead, combing and massaging along the meridians and acupoints of the scalp with gentle force. This lasts for about 15 minutes. Then he uses the fingertips of both hands to perform a deep massage, using grabbing, kneading, pressing and other techniques to stimulate blood circulation in the scalp and relieve fatigue and tension.
To be honest, Li Yunling was not used to this. The head therapist said while massaging her head, "Beautiful lady, please relax. Your scalp is too tense. Do you think the strength of my massage is appropriate? Do you want to adjust it?"
Li Yunling closed her eyes and said, "It's suitable."
Su Tiantian said: "A Ling, if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, you must speak up."
Li Yunling said, "I understand."
The hair therapist who was washing Su Tiantian's hair asked, "Madam, do you often get hair massages?"
Su Tiantian said: "It's just a coincidence. I haven't done it since I got pregnant. My hair doesn't need to be washed for too long. I'm tired of lying down and I really want to turn over. Please rinse quickly."
The head therapist said, "Okay. Your belly is really big. Your due date should be coming soon, right?"
Su Tiantian said: "There are still about 12 weeks left, I hope it won't be premature."
The head therapist then used both hands to massage Li Yunling's shoulder muscles and press acupressure points on her shoulders and neck. As she did so, she said, "This can relieve tension and stiffness in the shoulders and neck."
Li Yunling cried out, "It hurts a little."
The head therapist said, "Your shoulders are too tense."
After a while, the head therapist soaked the hair with warm water, took an appropriate amount of shampoo and rubbed it into foam in his hands, applied it to Li Yunling's hair and scalp, gently rubbed and massaged, and then rinsed the shampoo with clean water. She rinsed it several times, probably to ensure that there was no residue.
Then the head therapist took out a bottle of conditioner and applied an appropriate amount on the hair, especially the ends of the hair, left it on for a few minutes and then rinsed it off.
When Li Yunling thought she was done, the next step came. The head therapist applied a warm, wet towel to Li Yunling's head and explained, "It's a little hot. This is to help open the pores and promote nutrient absorption. You can take the towel off after a few minutes."
After removing the towel, the head therapist gave Li Yunling another simple massage on her head, shoulders and neck, then gently wiped her hair with a dry towel and blow-dried her hair with a hair dryer.
Li Yunling took out her cell phone and saw that the whole head treatment process lasted about 45 minutes. Su Tiantian, who had already washed and blow-dried her hair, was sitting beside her waiting for her.
Su Tiantian took a closer look and said, "It looks good, and the hair is very smooth."
Li Yunling smiled and said, “I feel like I have changed my head.
Su Tiantian turned to the head therapist and asked, "If I don't have this coupon, how much does it cost for a head massage?"
The head therapist said, "300 yuan per session, three times a week on average, the effect is better."
Su Tiantian said: "Thank you."
Li Yunling was a little surprised. She didn't expect it to be so expensive. Fortunately, the coupon was free this time. Otherwise, she would be reluctant to pay 300 yuan.
Li Yunling looked around the head massage shop. The first thing that caught her eye was the soft and warm lighting, which enveloped the entire space like a veil, creating a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
The walls of the store are painted in light blue, making people feel as if they are in a tranquil ocean, peaceful and comfortable.
The room is neatly arranged with head massage beds, each bed is equipped with clean white sheets and soft pillows, giving people a neat and comfortable feeling.
The air is filled with the faint aroma of essential oils mixed with the fresh scent of flowers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Getting a head massage in such an environment seems to make all worries and fatigue go away.
Such an environment and such services are still expensive for Li Yunling. In fact, Su Zhihao's income is not low, and she also has a salary, but in some aspects, she is quite frugal.
As the head therapist said, "Welcome to come next time," Li Yunling took Su Tiantian's hand and left, thinking, "Next time? I don't want to come next time. It's too expensive."
Yun Sui Yang saw them coming out and hurriedly followed them.
Li Yunling nagging as she walked: "Sister, you just washed your hair, that hair treatment coupon is a bit wasted."
Su Tiantian said, "If they don't want to come, then you and I will just use the two coupons and I'll ask where Brother Jing is."
Yun Suiyang immediately said, "Mrs. Liu, Mr. Liu is accompanying Mrs. Liu for a foot bath."
Su Tiantian said: "Thank you, Ayang."
Li Yunling said, "Zhihao and Ayu are at the water park. Sister, why don't we go to the restaurant for an afternoon tea buffet first."
Su Tiantian said: "Okay, I am indeed a little hungry."
