Chi Tu Head Spa & Massage Vo Van Tan Branch, Ho Chi Minh City

Chi Tu pairs a Vietnamese herbal hair wash with scalp exfoliation and massage, then adds facial care or a longer body treatment. It is a practical way to pause between city outings without giving up half a day to a spa visit.

I like two things here: the hair wash is part of the treatment rather than a separate salon appointment, and the packages offer useful extras such as facial care, foot massage, or hot stones. One thing to check before you go: the branch address is described in more than one way, so use the map and confirm the Vo Van Tan entrance.

A herbal hair wash with a local rhythm

A Vietnamese herbal hair wash is more than a quick shampoo at the basin. At Chi Tu, the treatment combines cleansing with scalp exfoliation and head massage, with the aim of helping you unwind and feel refreshed. The sequence gives the appointment a slower, more restorative feel than a routine salon wash.

The 60-minute Deep Hair Wash + Facial Care package is the simplest way to try the spa’s signature approach. It includes an herbal hair wash, scalp exfoliation, head massage, and five minutes of neck and shoulder massage. That last detail matters: the massage is a brief add-on in this package, not a long body treatment.

The facial portion makes the hour feel like a two-part reset. It covers makeup removal, cleansing, exfoliation, and a Bio Mask detox facial mask. If you have spent the day in city heat or wearing makeup, this combination may suit you better than booking a hair wash alone.

The spa’s longer package builds on the same foundation rather than simply repeating the wash for another half hour. That extra time goes toward massage and additional hair and ear treatments, which is useful if your main aim is to slow down and rest.

Choosing between 60 and 90 minutes

Pick the 60-minute package if you want to sample the herbal hair wash and facial without setting aside too much time. It has the essentials, but the neck and shoulder massage lasts only five minutes, so do not choose it expecting a full massage session.

The 90-minute Therapeutic Hair Wash + Facial Care package is the more complete option. Along with the herbal wash and scalp exfoliation, it includes a 25-minute massage covering the head, neck, shoulders, arms, and legs. You also get ear steaming, hair steaming, and a warm body compress.

That additional massage time changes the character of the appointment. It is a better fit if you have been walking around the city and want attention on more than your scalp and face. The added steaming and compress also make it the more treatment-focused choice, though the description does not specify exact techniques or temperatures.

Both packages include the same facial sequence: makeup removal, cleansing, exfoliation, and a Bio Mask detox mask. The 90-minute version adds quartz stone facial massage. If facial massage is important to you, that detail may help settle the choice.

If you are comparing packages, read the inclusions carefully rather than assuming every hair wash option includes a facial. The spa also lists hair wash with foot massage and hair wash with neck, shoulder, head, and back massage. Those pairings suit different priorities, and their exact treatment times are not provided here.

Massage options for tired legs and shoulders

Chi Tu has standalone treatments as well as hair-wash combinations. The menu includes foot massage, a neck, shoulder, nape, head, and back massage, and full-body massage options. The listed full-body choices include aroma, hot stones, candles, snow cream, ginger, and mugwort.

Pressure is worth discussing with your therapist. One customer specifically requested strong pressure and found the therapist followed that request, while another described a gentle massage. Those accounts suggest it is sensible to state what you want before the treatment starts, rather than waiting until you are already on the table.

The ginger and mugwort options may appeal if you want a warming treatment, especially after a damp or cool day. They are listed as massage choices, but the precise steps and products are not spelled out, so ask the spa if you have sensitivities or want to know what a particular option involves.

For a combination, the listed best-value pick pairs a hair wash with full-body massage, starting at $23.39. That price is higher than the basic hair wash and facial, but it bundles two types of treatment and makes sense if you want a longer spa stop rather than a quick refresh.

Facial care, steaming, and the small comforts

Facial care is built into the two featured hair-wash packages, not treated as a vague bonus. The listed steps are makeup removal, facial cleansing, exfoliation, and a Bio Mask detox facial mask. The longer package also includes quartz stone facial massage.

The hair and ear steaming are part of the 90-minute treatment. They make the longer appointment distinct from the hour-long option, though the information does not describe the equipment or how long each steaming step lasts. If you are sensitive to heat, let the therapist know before treatment begins.

Tea, a towel, slippers, and a locker are included. Some appointments have also featured heated slippers, a red-light lamp, hair drying, and tea served with yogurt afterward. These are thoughtful touches, but they should not be treated as guaranteed inclusions for every package.

A cozy atmosphere and friendly local therapists are part of the spa’s appeal. The setting is described as spacious, clean, private, and decorated with a warm Vietnamese feel. That can make the appointment more comfortable if you are visiting alone or are new to this style of spa treatment.

How the price compares with the treatment

The available prices begin at $9.45 for hair wash and facial care, $11.59 for a neck, shoulder, nape, head, and back massage, and around $17 to $18 for options such as hair wash with foot massage, hair wash with back and shoulder massage, or full-body massage. The hair wash plus full-body massage combination starts at $23.39. A separate summary gives a starting price of $10.39, so check the exact package and current booking price before paying.

At these prices, the strongest value is in the combination packages. You get more than one service in a single appointment, and the 90-minute option adds several elements beyond washing and facial care. The basic package is a lower-cost introduction, but its massage portion is short.

Price alone does not tell you which treatment is best. If you mainly want a proper massage, choose a package that clearly includes the body areas you care about. If the unusual hair-wash ritual is your priority, the 60-minute option covers the central experience without committing to a longer visit.

Finding the Vo Van Tan branch and arriving on time

The meeting point is Chi Tu Spa Võ Van Tân, with the entrance described as being at Alley 241, Vo Van Tan, Ban Co, Ho Chi Minh City. The address information also names a Nguyen Thi Minh Khai branch, so there is a mismatch in the branch wording. Use the map attached to your booking and confirm the correct entrance with the operator if anything looks unclear.

Arrive 10 minutes before your appointment. If you are late without notice, your session may be shortened, and an arrival 15 minutes late or more can mean cancellation without a refund. The voucher is valid only for the specified date and time, so allow a little extra time to reach the alley.

Present your mobile voucher when you arrive. Keep your phone on silent and avoid using it inside the spa. You are responsible for your belongings, so use the provided locker and do not leave valuables unattended.

Who will enjoy this appointment most

Chi Tu suits you if you want a short, affordable break that feels different from a standard massage. The herbal wash and scalp exfoliation are the main attraction, while the facial and massage combinations make the appointment more useful after a day on your feet.

It can also work well if you are travelling alone and prefer a calm, wholesome spa environment. The spa’s range gives you options from a focused hair-and-face treatment to a longer full-body session, without requiring you to book separate appointments at different places.

It may be less suitable if you want a highly customized facial or a long massage included in the cheapest package. The listed facial steps are specific but straightforward, and the 60-minute package includes only five minutes of neck and shoulder massage. Choose the longer or massage-focused option if bodywork matters most.

Tell the operator about special health conditions before treatment. The spa notes that it is your responsibility to share this information, and it does not accept responsibility for adverse effects that may arise from treatment. Outside food and drinks, smoking, alcohol, pets, and strongly scented food such as durian are not allowed.

Should you book Chi Tu Spa?

Book Chi Tu if you are curious about Vietnamese herbal hair washing and want to pair it with facial care or massage at a relatively modest price. The 60-minute package is a sensible first try; the 90-minute version is the better pick if you want more bodywork, steaming, and a slower pace.

Skip the basic package if your main goal is a substantial massage, and check the branch details before setting out. If the treatment menu matches what you want and you can arrive on time, Chi Tu offers a practical way to give your city break a restorative pause.
