Which head spa and facial package is best for you?
The $120 mini facial pairing is best when scalp care is your priority; the two gua sha packages give the facial its own longer block of time. Start with which part you most want to book, then check the split.
| Your preference | Choose this appointment | Time and price |
|---|---|---|
| A head spa with a short facial | Aura Scalp Treatment + Mini Facial | 75 minutes · $120 |
| A full hour for the head spa | Gua Sha Facial & Head Spa | 30 + 60 minutes · $160 |
| Equal time for face and scalp | Gua Sha Facial + Head Spa (45 + 45) | 45 + 45 minutes · $168 |
| Shoulders, face and scalp together | Midweek Healing Package | 30 + 30 + 30 minutes · $148 |
When the mini facial is enough
The 75-minute appointment is a useful first visit if you came for the wash, scalp care and massage, and would enjoy some facial care alongside them. Its listed features include a singing bowl and mini facial. That facial is part of the 75 minutes; it does not add another appointment afterward.
When the facial deserves more time
The 45 + 45 package gives you 15 more facial minutes than the $160 combination. Choose it when you want the facial to carry equal weight in the visit. For the longest scalp portion, the $160 package keeps a full 60 minutes for the head spa.

What is included in the head spa part?
Every head spa starts with digital scalp analysis, and the 45- and 60-minute head spa portions include a shampoo wash and blow-dry finish. You can see the magnified scalp image on the monitor with your therapist before the wet stages begin.
At the basin you recline for the cleanse, scalp care, massage and warm-water rinse. With the $160 pairing, the menu expressly includes a 60-minute head spa and blow-dry alongside the 30-minute gua sha facial. The even-split package allocates 45 minutes to each service. Read the booking title carefully: both last 90 minutes, but the appointment is divided differently.
A facial package and a separate facial
Aura also offers a 60-minute Deep Hydrating Facial and a 60-minute Signature Customized Facial, each $138. Those are individual facial appointments on the facial menu. If you have one of them in mind, ask about scheduling that exact service with a head spa; the word “facial” in a package does not mean every facial on the menu is interchangeable.

Is the package better value than separate services?
The $160 Gua Sha Facial & Head Spa costs $10 less than the matching $80 facial and $90 head spa booked separately. It combines a 30-minute gua sha facial and 60-minute head spa into the same 90-minute visit.
The $168 option makes a different trade: equal time for both services. A 45-minute standalone gua sha facial is not listed on the menu, so the useful comparison is the 45 + 45 allocation itself. The packages page shows the published component values for every combination.
Adding shoulder work
The Midweek Healing Package is $148 for 90 minutes, split into three 30-minute stages for shoulders, facial and head spa. Check current booking availability for that named package. Its head spa portion is shorter than either gua sha pairing; choose it when shoulder work matters as much as the face and scalp. If you want only a facial and head spa, keep the booking to those two priorities.

What should you check when choosing a top-rated spa package?
Check the exact treatments, their individual lengths and what the finish includes. A 90-minute appointment can mean 30 + 60, 45 + 45 or three 30-minute services, which makes the package name alone a poor comparison.
Open Aura's Google listing to read current guest feedback, then use the menu to compare the package you want. Comments about a long scalp massage may be useful for a head spa choice; someone describing a standalone facial may have booked a different service from yours.
Before the first visit
- Choose the package with the time split you prefer and reserve that exact listing.
- Tell the studio about recent hair color, facial procedures, product sensitivities or prescribed skin care before the appointment.
- Allow room in your day for the full booked length and your journey back.
Aura is in Olde Town on E Sunset Way, about a third of a mile east of Front Street. Call or text 206-552-4799 when you need help choosing between the mini facial and gua sha combinations.
Finding us
Look for the sign, not a shopfront
Open every day, 9 AM to 8 PM — a lunch hour, an evening after work, or a weekend morning all fit.
- Come off I-90 at Exit 18 and follow E Sunset Way east. We are about a third of a mile past Front Street, on a block of converted houses.
- Watch the curb for a dark monument sign reading House of Layo and Aura Beauty. We share the site with the salon, so that sign is the landmark.
- Come a few minutes early on a first visit — there is tea by the fireplace, and your head spa starts with a look at your scalp on the monitor.
