Squad Goals: Why a Group Head Spa Day is Better Than Brunch

We all know the standard formula for a girls’ day out. It usually involves a crowded patio, shouting over the noise to hear each other, and arguably too much sugar or caffeine.

And don’t get us wrong—we love a good brunch. But sometimes, your friendship needs a recharge just as much as you do.

If you are looking for a way to catch up that doesn’t involve a food coma, we are proposing an upgrade. Instead of the usual routine, why not celebrate your friendship with deep relaxation and a serious glow-up? Here is why swapping the syrup for serums at The Modern Halo is the ultimate way to spend time with your squad.

1. Trade the “Food Coma” for a “Scalp Glow”

We have all been there. You leave lunch feeling full, sleepy, and ready for a nap. It’s fun in the moment, but the rest of the day is usually a wash.

A head spa day has the opposite effect. Instead of feeling weighed down, you leave feeling lighter—literally and figuratively. The combination of deep cleansing, massage, and steam lifts the weight off your shoulders. You and your friends will walk out feeling energized, clear-headed, and looking radiant.

2. Shared Silence is a New Form of Intimacy

Life is noisy. Between work, family, and social media, we are constantly overstimulated. Sometimes, the best way to bond isn’t by talking over the clatter of silverware, but by simply being together in a space of total peace.

Sharing a wellness experience allows you to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourselves, all while knowing your best friend is right there experiencing the same bliss. It’s a shared reset button. Plus, you’ll have plenty of time to catch up and debrief while admiring your bouncy blowouts afterward!

3. Friends Don’t Let Friends Have Stressed Scalps

True friendship is looking out for each other—and that includes looking out for each other’s well-being.

Gifting each other a scalp treatment is more than just pampering; it’s functional care. You are helping your friends combat stress, relieve tension headaches, and boost their hair health. It’s a way of saying, “I know you work hard, and I want you to feel amazing.”

4. It’s an Experience, Not Just a Meal

Let’s be honest: you can grab lunch any weekend. A head spa treatment is a memory. It’s a unique, sensory experience that feels like a mini-vacation right here in town. Years from now, you might not remember which appetizers you split, but you will remember the day you and the girls felt like royalty for an afternoon.

Upgrade Your Next Hangout

Next time the group chat lights up trying to make plans, skip the restaurant reservations. Grab your mom, your sister, or your bestie, and book a date that feeds your soul instead of just your stomach.
