Shinrin Spa – A special massage shop in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City
Address: 178/2 Pasteur Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
After a long flight and the sudden heat that wore me out on the first day of the trip,I found Shinrin Spa – a special spa in Ho Chi Minh City where you can enjoy a relaxing shampoo and scalp massage.
Shinrin Spa is located in District 1, right in the heart of the city near the Reunification Palace, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and Ho Chi Minh City Museum – a perfect stop to refresh and unwind during your sightseeing journey.

The interior was clean and brightly lit. Although I had informed them in advance, I mistakenly confused it with the branch in District 3 and arrived about 30 minutes late. Even so, the staff kindly came out to greet me and welcomed me warmly.
Their in-house care products were also on display.
The space was filled with a luxurious yet calming scent, which helped ease my rushed mood.
I apologized repeatedly for being late,
but the staff kindly reassured me that it was okay, served me tea, and introduced the spa programs.

In addition, you can enjoy both dry and steam saunas, facial lifting & relaxation massage, and even customize your treatment by selecting specific areas you want to focus on —
for a truly personalized care experience.

Since we wanted both a full-body massage and a shampoo, we chose the course that included the Ho Chi Minh scalp massage and head spa.
You can customize your experience by selecting the areas you'd like to focus on,the intensity of the massage, and even the water temperature for the head spa. Once you've completed the initial checklist, all that's left is to simply relax and enjoy.
Shinrin Spa’s Special Treatment Room
We were guided into the massage room, a private space just for us, where a spacious and luxurious bed was beautifully prepared.
What made it even more special was that there was a projector in the room! The staff had already played some music on YouTube, and they handed us the remote so we could play whatever we liked.

First, we changed into spa wear to relax and enjoy the treatment more comfortably. Our clothes and personal belongings were safely stored in a locker inside the room.
As we sat on the bed, the footrest suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a hidden foot bath beneath.
We were amazed by the clever setup.Soaking our feet in the warm water infused with various herbs, we instantly felt our bodies begin to relax and unwind.
While we were browsing for a YouTube video to play, a video titled “Divorce Reflection Camp” that someone had previously watched popped up on the list. We hadn’t even started the treatment yet, and our stress level had already gone up!

As we were watching the shocking story of a certain couple and muttering, “Oh my… how could something like that happen…,” the therapist quietly placed some snacks beside our bed.

We each received our own snack tray, with mango, watermelon, orange, a variety of cookies, and even a refreshing cold tea!
Soaking our feet, watching YouTube, and enjoying snacks — it was pure healing from the very beginning ★

As we enjoyed our snacks and watched the video, the therapist gently took out one foot at a time from the bath and carefully dried them with great care.
At first, I thought we’d be getting the massage on a slightly reclined chair, but in an instant, it transformed into a fully flat bed. We were once again impressed by the modern setup.
Lying down comfortably, we felt all the accumulated fatigue melt away from our bodies. There was no need to even mention pressure preferences — the therapist was simply excellent, especially in releasing the tight knots in our shoulders and back.
Scalp massage and shampoo all in one – the perfect combo.
After finishing the full-body treatment, we were guided to a separate head spa room.
It was so nice to receive scalp care while getting a relaxing shampoo — a truly soothing and worthwhile experience

While lying down with your head comfortably supported, the therapist gently moves your head side to side, thoroughly shampooing every part of your scalp.
At the same time, you receive a soothing scalp massage and décolleté care, making it feel like blood is circulating all the way to your head.
There's no need to worry about foam or water getting in your eyes or ears — they carefully clean even around and behind your ears, so you won’t feel the need for a separate ear cleaning.
At first, I wondered, “Do head spas really need to be this long?” But during the session, it was refreshingly cool, and by the end — I felt completely renewed.

After the treatment, you’re asked to rate the massage and overall service.
But since my satisfaction level was 10000%, I completed the feedback in no time!
You can make a reservation not only via WhatsApp and Instagram, but also through KakaoTalk.
If you’re looking for a scalp massage spa in Ho Chi Minh City that offers shampoo services and a private, special spa room, I highly recommend visiting Shinrin Spa in District 1.
