Howdy readers, Editor Kristen here. If you’re like me and you’ve found yourself scrolling online, you may have seen videos of halo water therapy come across your feeds.

That’s why I was so excited to see that newly-opened HEADSPA’ce head spa in St. Elmo offers these services, and so much more.

Brought to you by Brittni + Waylon Krumrie, the owners of permanent makeup studio Highbrow Chattanooga, HEADSPA’ce is their latest venture at 3800 St. Elmo Ave.

If you haven’t heard of a head spa before, these spaces offer “intimate + serene head massages that effectively promote the health of your scalp and hair.” They also can help relieve stress from your day-to-day and promote deep sleep. Bonus: Read more about the potential benefits.

Each service includes halo water therapy, a head and neck massage that’s curated to your needs, a dermatoscope scalp analysis + essential oil therapy.

To help curate the experience, intake forms also take you through identifying your hair type, needs, and goals. Bonus: Relax with a complimentary beverage before and after the treatment.

We tried the “All of it them some!” package which includes a luxury scalp massage, facial, cleansing, treatment, and moisturizing. Read what editors Haley + Kristen loved about their experience by clicking the button below.

The Songbirds Foundation + The Chattanooga Public Library have teamed up to debut a new exhibit installation at the Downtown branch.

Beginning today, June 27, folks can see an installation dedicated to The Impressions, a music group that included Chattanooga natives Fred Cash + Sam Gooden.

The exhibit will feature new items from Songbirds’ collection and will tell the story of the band — from their start in Chattanooga in the late 1950s to becoming part of the soundtrack of America’s Civil Rights Movement.

“We can never do enough to honor this group and celebrate their message of hope and togetherness,” said Songbirds Executive Director Reed Caldwell. “I hope this exhibit can help people understand the importance of this band and their music.”

A free opening reception for the exhibition will be held this evening from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. featuring performances by local musicians + complimentary wine. The installation will be on display through June 28, 2025.
