Indian head massage in Wimbledon
Indian head massage in Wimbledon is done while you sit in a chair, fully clothed. It covers the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face. Many people who hunch over a laptop or phone all day find it a welcome way to loosen up without lying down or undressing.
What happens during your massage
Sitting comfortably
You sit upright in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. A towel may go over your shoulders. Glasses, earrings and hair ties come off.
Upper back and shoulders
The massage starts with kneading and pressing along the tops of the shoulders and between the shoulder blades, where desk tension often sits.
Neck and scalp
Your head is supported while the neck is worked gently. Then the fingers move over the scalp with rubbing, squeezing and light tapping.
Face to finish
The last part is soft pressure around the temples, forehead, jaw and cheeks, before you sit quietly for a moment.
What Indian head massage feels like
The shoulder work at the start is firm and can feel quite strong if you carry a lot of tension there. You can ask for lighter or deeper as it goes. Then the pace changes, and the scalp section feels lively, with brisk rubbing and gentle pulling of the hair at the roots.
The face work at the end is much slower. Small circles at the temples and along the jaw often feel surprisingly good, especially if you clench your teeth when you concentrate. Some people close their eyes and nearly doze off in the chair, which is perfectly normal.
Where it comes from and how it differs
This style of head massage has roots in Indian family tradition, where scalp massage with oil has long been part of hair care. The version most people book today grew from that and adds the shoulders, neck and face. It travelled to Britain in the last few decades and is now a familiar treatment in many salons and studios.
Unlike a full body massage, there is no couch and no undressing. That makes it easy to fit in on a weekday. It also suits anyone who feels uneasy lying on their front or being covered by towels, and anyone short on time who still wants to feel looser.
Oil, hair and choosing a length
The scalp can be massaged dry, or with a little oil if you are happy to have it in your hair afterwards. Most people booking in the middle of a working day go without. Just say which you prefer, and remember that oil can leave hair looking flat until it is washed.
Thirty minutes covers everything at a brisk pace. Forty five or sixty minutes lets each area be done more slowly, with extra time on the shoulders and between the shoulder blades. The cost of each length is on our price guide.

Indian head massage questions
Do I need to undress for Indian head massage?
No. You stay fully clothed and sit in a chair the whole time. A loose top with a low neckline makes it easier to reach the shoulders, but it is not essential.
Will Indian head massage mess up my hair?
It will, a little. The scalp work involves rubbing and lifting the hair, so it may look tousled afterwards. If you choose oil, you will probably want to wash your hair later that day.
Can Indian head massage help with headaches?
We do not promise it will ease headaches. Some people find that loosening the neck and shoulders helps them feel more comfortable. If you get frequent or severe headaches, see your GP first.
Is Indian head massage good for a first massage?
Yes, it is often a good place to start. You stay clothed and seated, the session can be as short as 30 minutes, and you can ask for gentler or firmer pressure as it goes.
