Humming a New Tune: The Wellness Spa

Imagine a warm stream of oil dripping continuously on your forehead. Though the sensation sounds reminiscent of Chinese water torture, it’s actually a deeply pleasurable component of the Ayurvedic “Head Over Heels” treatment (RMB 480 for 60 min), an Indian hair health and scalp massage offered exclusively at Hummingbird’s new offshoot spa.

The Wellness Spa is more than twice the size of its original branch, and includes extravagant additions such as an espresso bar, a VIP room and an expanded menu – all the while maintaining the same reasonable rates. Owner May Cheng is committed to providing her clients with the very best, often lugging back organic oils from abroad to ensure quality control. She hints at changes to come for the first space, and while she remains vague, it’s obvious she intends to make Hummingbird a lifestyle brand. Will she be successful? We’ll have to let our revitalized locks speak for themselves.
