A Different Kind of Head Spa
At Sanctuary, we believe a head spa should be far more than just a luxurious shampoo. It should be a treatment. A treatment that nurtures the scalp, calms the nervous system, and supports long-term scalp and skin health.
Every treatment at Sanctuary is performed by a licensed esthetician, with a deeper focus on scalp health, skin function, therapeutic touch, and overall nervous system restoration.

Share the
Sanctuary Experience
The perfect way to share the luxury of Sanctuary with someone you love.
We offer both e-gift cards and beautifully packaged physical gift cards available for purchase in-studio.
If you choose an e-gift card and plan to gift it in person, we recommend selecting "send to myself." This allows the gift card to be delivered to your email so you can print it and tuck it into a card for a more personal touch. If you'd prefer to send the gift directly, simply enter the recipient's email and details at checkout, and it will be delivered straight to them.
To purchase a physical gift card, feel free to stop by the studio at your convenience—we'll have it ready for you.
All gift card sales are final and cannot be returned or refunded.
Please note that Sanctuary is a boutique, by-appointment-only studio. Because of this, there is not always a team member available at the front desk. Our practitioners personally welcome, care for, and check out their own clients, so during treatment times we may be unable to assist with walk-in purchases, gift card sales, or general inquiries.
Additionally, our studio hours may vary based on our appointment schedule. If we do not have appointments booked at opening time on a particular day, we may not be on-site.
If you would like to purchase products or gift cards in person, we kindly ask that you call ahead so we can ensure someone is available to assist you. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you to Sanctuary.
