Living in a century with great interest in physical appearance caused increase of competitiveness in appearance and 'baby face fever'. Because appearance has been brought up to such competitiveness, alopecia has been causing great stress in both mental and physical state of individuals, leading to negative effects of life. Recently, head spa has been brought up to people’s interest due to its mentally soothing effect along with its effective scalp health care. The experiment was progressed with controlled subjects of non-working individuals from ages from 30 to 60 by exposing the subjects to go through head spa care program with survey on scalp·hair changes and satisfaction level. The head spa care program was held under controlled conditions for 4 weeks with 1 head spa care session per week and been observed with appropriate diagnostic apparatus on each steps of head spa care program. The changes on oiliness and moisture level were measured by scalp health measurement from calvaria and occipital site. The result on changes of oiliness shows ±2.152 in calvaria before the experiment and increased to ±2.733 after the experiment, which does not show significance (p<0.05). For occipital site, before experiment was ±3.124, and decreased to ±0.342 (p<0.05). As for changes of moisture level, ±0.516 before the experiment and increased to ±1.653 (p<0.05) in calvaria, and ±1.493 before the experiment and increased to ±1.461 in occipital site. This shows that moisture level has increased in both calvaria and occipital site after the experiment. The overall result on oiliness and moisture level test shows improvement from dry and reddish scalp with greasy sebum oxide to clean and clear pore line, enlarged pore size, and decreased number in dead skin cells as it can been observed clearly through naked eye from the monitor(picture). Scalp health measurement showed change in hair thickness from average of 0.3594 and standard deviation of 0.0556 before the experiment, and average of 0.4158, and standard deviation of 0.0599 after the experiment in calvaria. The average and standard deviation shows significance in change that hair thickness level has improved. Therefore, the experiment result shows that head spa care program is an effective method for men and women who needs scalp·hair care
