XARBEAUTY
A treatment room at XAR Beauty, lit by candles, with the bed made up in XAR’s own towels

Malta’s first head spa.

An hour lying back over the sink while your scalp is properly cleansed and worked on. People book it for their hair and leave talking about how it made them feel. It is the treatment we brought to the island first, and still the one clients come back for.

Nobody explains what a head spa is, so here it is.

You lie back with your head over a basin. Your scalp is cleansed, massaged and rinsed properly, for a full hour, in a dark room. That is the whole thing. It sounds modest written down, and then people book the next one before they leave.

“Had a lovely head spa treatment at Xar! The masseuse took great care of me and for someone like myself who does not typically enjoy massages, she had great technique. She also made sure that I was fully relaxed and enjoying the treatment. If you wish to have a head spa treatment this is definitely the place to do! Will definitely come again 😍”

“Had my first head massage experience and did not want it to end. I could have stayed there all day. So soothing and calming, will definitely be back for more. Lovely salon with lovelier, highly professional staff.”

One room, one client, door closed.

XAR Beauty is deliberately small. Treatments happen behind a door rather than in the middle of a busy floor, which is the difference between a service and an hour off. Parking is available, and the bus stop is on the corner.

It is the sister salon to XAR Hair & Nails, five minutes up the road, which has been cutting and colouring in Is-Swieqi since 2014.
