Head Spa & Scalp rituals can add new revenue streams - and there's no need to redo your whole salon backwash area.
Today’s salon clients want more than just clean hair. They’re seeking calm, care, and a sensory moment that feels premium. That’s why the humble backwash is having a glow-up and is no longer just a rinse station - it’s fast becoming a space to stand out, build loyalty, and boost service value with exciting new offerings.
We’re spotlighting a new wave of wash area upgrades thanks to Comfortel that make this shift easy. Think easy luxe upgrades that are designed to elevate the client experience, introduce bookable Head Spa rituals, and open up new income streams – all without a costly renovation or equipment overhaul.
Transform Your Backwash into a Head Spa Zone
Comfortel’s Head Spa Pro Tap Set is a modern three-in-one system that upgrades your existing salon tapware. It includes two interchangeable Head Spa nozzles – one delivering a calming waterfall rinse, the other offering a rainwater-style stream that gently flows around the forehead – plus a traditional showerhead for everyday use.
Stylists can easily switch between Head Spa mode or standard rinsing, tailoring the water flow to each client or service. Whether used to create a relaxing ritual or to elevate everyday shampooing, the tap set transforms the basin experience into something memorable.

Compatible with most ceramic basins and backwash units, the Head Spa Pro Tap Set installs with minimal modification and requires no major plumbing work – making it an ideal upgrade for salons wanting to elevate their wash area without disrupting their layout or investing in new equipment.
Add Mist, Multiply the Experience
For salons looking to enhance their treatments even further, pairing the tap set with the Comfortel Salon Mist Hair Treatment Processor unlocks a new level of care.
This quiet, mobile unit releases a warm, gentle mist that opens the hair cuticle — helping boost absorption of deep conditioning and scalp treatments while soothing the scalp. It’s not just a relaxing add-on. It’s a performance booster that helps products work harder, faster, and go deeper.
Infusing hair with ultra-fine hydrating mist, the Salon Mist enhances every treatment by improving absorption and effectiveness – resulting in visibly softer, shinier, and more resilient hair.
Perfect for Moisture Repair services, scalp detox rituals, or deep conditioning treatments at the basin. No extra plumbing. No dedicated room. Just a compact, easy-to-move device that instantly brings a premium feel to the backwash area.
From Rinse to Ritual: How UK Salons Are Making More at the Basin
Across the UK, salons are beginning to adopt backwash upgrades to stay ahead of client expectations. From boutique colour studios to high-end urban salons, many are introducing Head Spa Rituals as 15-to-20-minute bookable add-ons, often priced between £20 and £35.
Others are enhancing the experience for every client, using the Head Spa Pro Tap Set during all shampoos or incorporating the Salon Mist Hair Treatment Processor to amplify treatment results and improve hair condition.
The feedback? Higher client satisfaction, stronger retention, and an uplift in retail treatment sales - all from the same backwash area, with minimal investment.
Easy Install Update. No Disruptions to the Salon.
Both the Head Spa Pro Tap Set and the Salon Mist Hair Treatment Processor are designed for simplicity and speed. There’s no need to change your layout or replace existing equipment, making them ideal for busy salons.
More importantly, they offer immediate revenue opportunities. Whether sold as rituals, service upgrades, or added to premium colour packages, these tools transform the basin into a high-performing treatment zone - without interrupting your schedule.
