Mu Siji combines coffee culture with hands-on hair and scalp care, so this is more than a shampoo stop. You can choose a 45-minute Chinese ear-cleaning session or a longer scalp treatment, with private treatment rooms and soft lighting providing a quiet break from central Shanghai.
I like the range of treatments, which lets you choose a short, lower-cost session or spend up to two hours on hair and body care. I also like the convenient location near Nanjing East Road Metro Station. One thing to plan around: you must reserve in advance, and the actual appointment time needs confirmation from the salon.

- Several treatment lengths: Options run from 45 minutes for ear cleaning to 120 minutes for a full-body oil spa and scalp therapy.
- A scalp analysis may be available: A customer who booked the 70-minute deep-cleansing treatment received a scalp analysis at the salon.
- Private rooms: Treatment rooms have integrated washing and care equipment, and bedding is changed for each guest.
- A central address: The Puhui Building branch is at Room 501, 318 Fuzhou Road, about a 330-meter walk from Exit 4 of Nanjing East Road Metro Station.
- Reserve early: Appointment times are subject to confirmation, and the salon asks you to book at least one day ahead.

A head-spa stop in central Shanghai
Mu Siji is built around a simple idea: pair a coffee-shop atmosphere with hair and scalp treatments. That combination gives the salon a different feel from a plain hair-washing station. The interior is described as minimalist, with soft lighting, quiet music, subtle fragrance, and green plants in the rest area. The aim is to create a calm pause from the streets outside.
The Puhui Building branch is in Huangpu District, close to Nanjing East Road Metro Station. Its address is Room 501, Puhui Building, No. 318 Fuzhou Road. From Exit 4 of the station, the walk is about 330 meters, making this a practical stop if you are already exploring the central city.
The salon’s coffee connection is part of its identity, but do not assume a coffee is included in every treatment. The listed inclusions for the 45-minute ear-cleaning option are herbal tea, a hot towel, and slippers. Other package details vary, so check the exact treatment you select before paying.

Choose a treatment that fits your day
The menu covers a wide spread of services, and the duration matters. If you want a brief rest between city plans, the 45-minute Chinese ear-picking, ear-cleaning, and relaxation session is the shortest listed option. It is also the simplest way to try the salon without setting aside a large part of the day.
For a scalp-focused visit, two choices run about an hour or a little longer. The 60-minute Traditional Chinese Medicine tea-bran water-circulation scalp cleanse includes a hot eye mask. The 70-minute deep-cleansing hair-care treatment adds a scalp-hydrating oxygen ampoule. A customer who chose that 70-minute option received a scalp analysis before treatment, which can help you understand the condition of your scalp before the washing begins.
There are also treatments aimed at conditioning and nourishment. A 70-minute hair-mask and rose hair-care package combines deep head cleansing with conditioning. An 80-minute anti-hair-loss and follicle-activation option is described as intensive nourishment. The package names suggest their focus, but the available details do not spell out each step, so ask the salon what a treatment includes if you have a particular concern.
For a longer appointment, the 90-minute aromatherapy acid-drainage spa is described as including magnetic acid flushing and oil nourishment. The 120-minute package combines a full-body essential-oil spa with tea-seed water-circulation scalp therapy. These longer choices make more sense when you want a substantial rest rather than a quick grooming appointment.
The options are not interchangeable. A scalp cleanse, a conditioning treatment, ear cleaning, and a full-body oil spa are different experiences, with different lengths and prices. Read the package title carefully and confirm that it matches what you want before you request a time.
What the treatment experience may feel like
The salon describes its treatment rooms as private, with integrated washing and care equipment. Bedding is changed for each guest, and the room design aims for a clean, quiet atmosphere. That privacy can make a difference if you prefer a calm setting over a busy salon floor, though the available details do not specify room size or whether every package uses the same room.
For scalp treatments, expect the focus to be on cleansing, washing, and care rather than a haircut or styling appointment. A scalp analysis has been part of at least one customer’s 70-minute package. The 60-minute tea-bran option includes a hot eye-mask compress, while the 70-minute oxygen-ampoule treatment is described as a hydrating scalp treatment. The exact sequence can depend on the package, so use the package name as a guide and check details with staff on arrival.
The ear-cleaning option is distinct from the hair treatments. It is listed as a 45-minute Chinese ear-picking, ear-cleaning, and relaxation session. The included herbal tea, hot towel, and slippers add a small measure of comfort around the service. If you have a health condition that could affect treatment, tell the operator beforehand. The salon’s instructions make clear that guests are responsible for sharing relevant health information.
The overall setting is meant to slow you down: soft light, subdued fragrance, music, and plants in the rest area. These are supporting details, not a substitute for choosing the right treatment. If your priority is a thorough scalp cleanse, book a scalp-care option. If you want a quiet break without a hair treatment, the ear-cleaning session is the more direct fit.
Where the value lies
Prices start at about US$26.05 for the experience, while the listed ear-cleaning package starts at US$23.69. Other options range from US$37.15 for the 60-minute tea-bran scalp treatment to US$71.30 for the 80-minute anti-hair-loss and follicle-activation service. The 120-minute combined body-and-scalp treatment is listed at US$68.60.
That spread makes the salon appealing if you want to match spending to the time you have. The short ear-cleaning session costs less and takes under an hour. A longer scalp treatment costs more, but gives you more time for washing, conditioning, or other care. The two-hour combined spa is the choice for someone who wants to turn the appointment into a major rest stop in the day.
Value depends on choosing a treatment for what you actually want. One customer who booked the scalp-hydrating treatment also added a facial at the salon and felt it was overpriced for a service consisting of face washing, serums, and a mask. That is useful advice: keep your booking focused, and ask for the price and exact steps before agreeing to any add-on. The favorable feedback centers on the scalp treatments, service, and relaxing wash, not every extra service the salon may offer.
The posted starting price should not be mistaken for the price of every treatment. Package rates differ, and the names identify different services. Check the price and duration for your chosen option, then confirm the final appointment time with the salon.
Getting there and planning your appointment
The Puhui Building branch is at Room 501, No. 318 Fuzhou Road, in Huangpu District. It is about a 330-meter walk from Exit 4 of Nanjing East Road Metro Station. That short walk makes it easy to fit into a day around central Shanghai, though you should leave enough time to find the building and room.
Opening hours are listed as 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. You need to contact the operator after booking to confirm your preferred date and time. Reservations should be requested at least one day ahead; available hours are only a guide until the operator confirms your appointment. If your plans change or you expect a delay, contact the salon in advance.
The voucher is presented in the Klook app, and the confirmed participation time appears on the voucher. It is valid for 30 days from booking confirmation. The activity has no age limit, but you should disclose any health conditions that could be relevant to the treatment. Smelly food, including durian, is not allowed inside.
The cancellation terms are worth noting before you commit. A full refund is available if you have not redeemed the voucher, but a participant who arrives an hour or more late is not eligible for a refund. If the operator cancels because of extreme weather or an unforeseen event, you can reschedule or request a full refund.

Who should book Mu Siji
This salon suits you if you want a quiet, service-based break in Shanghai and are curious about scalp care or Chinese ear cleaning. The choices make it possible to keep the appointment short or devote a longer stretch to hair and body treatments. Its location near Nanjing East Road Metro Station also makes it convenient to add to a central-city day.
It is especially appealing if a long, thorough shampoo sounds like the best kind of reset. The strongest praise is for the friendly, attentive service and the relaxing scalp-cleansing process. But if you are mainly seeking a full facial, do not assume an add-on will offer the same value as the scalp-focused packages. Ask what it includes and how much it costs first.
