Let’s be honest – most of us haven’t a clue how to properly treat our scalps, we just pray to the hair gods that our half-hearted shampoo routine counts as "self-care" and hope for the best. 

So when Svenson Hong Kong offered me a real deep clean with their revitalizing hair spa treatment, I practically jumped at the chance to rescue my roots. 

With spring approaching, I was on a mission to rescue my hair from the dryness left by the winter months, and Svenson’s unique approach to scalp care seemed like the perfect solution, while also providing a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong.

Trichology, the study and science behind hair and scalp health, is making a comeback in the ever-shifting beauty world, and I was keen to find out if it was more than a buzzword. Stepping into the pristine clinic assured me that I was in the hands of certified professionals, with numerous prestigious certificates and awards lining their every shelf.

The treatment began with a personalized consultation, where a trichologist used a digital microscope to assess the condition of my scalp, and proceeded to project these images onto a computer monitor. Watching a blown up visual of my scalp through a microscopic lens was an eye-opening experience. To my dismay, there were dry patches, lingering dandruff and even some gunk lodged deep in the crevices of my scalp.

To address these problem areas, the trichologist recommended the 90-minute Onsen Aroma Relaxation Hair Spa (HK$1,388 for a trial, original price is HK$2,080, and package price is HK$11,288 for 10 sessions). She advised this would help to fight off the "3 Ds" – dirt, dandruff, and dimethicone (a common ingredient in hair products which can cause buildup and even exacerbate hair loss).

Next, I was led to a serene and spacious treatment room, where the spa experience kicked off with a warm sleeping mask placed over my eyes—the perfect way to start unwinding, as well as a selection of aromatic essential oils for the waterfall-style hair spa.

The treatment included a thorough scalp cleanse using the Intensive Purifying Treatment, followed by an Infrared Electric Scalp Massage that left me feeling deeply invigorated. Then came a vigorous shampoo and head massage, expertly applied with just the right amount of pressure. The experience culminated in the refreshing sensation of a moisturizing waterfall-style hair spa, which gently cascaded over my scalp. 

Next came the Placenta Restorative Treatment, designed to boost blood circulation and promote hair growth. While the name may sound a little intimidating, it was surprisingly soothing and left my scalp feeling revitalized.

To complete the indulgence, I enjoyed a soothing herbal-ball chest and shoulder massage. They then used a device on my scalp that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie – called a 12 Laser Comb – which helps stimulate hair follicle growth.

The session wrapped up with a thorough scalp analysis to assess the before-and-after effects of the treatment. The difference was striking; the treatment had cast off the stubborn residue and dandruff, and my scalp looked impeccably clean and refreshed. Every trace of buildup had been gently but effectively eliminated, leaving the scalp not just cleansed but truly rejuvenated. 

If I were to go again, Svenson's professional team recommended the Rescue Dandruff Control Treatment (Original Price at HK$600) and if short on time, the 25-minute Onsen Aroma Relaxation Hair Spa Express, which includes an all-rounded ritual of scalp deep cleansing, hair follicle stimulation and even hair cuticle and hair cell nourishment. The trial price for the Express Spa is HK$538, the original price is HK$1,080, and the package price HK$6,888 for 10 sessions.

Additionally, if you're seeking more scientifically leaning treatments, Svenson offers the cutting-edge INDIBA + NMN Cellular Regeneration Treatment, which combines RF (radio frequency) technology with NMN cell regeneration therapy to target blood circulation and encourage thicker, stronger hair. This package is available at the trial price of HK$1,888 (originally HK$8,320 per session) for two sessions.

Final Verdict 

The results were immediate and lasting. My scalp felt incredibly clean, almost tingling, and the freshness lingered without any irritation.

While it’s not a one-time fix for dry hair or hair loss (consistency is key), my hair certainly benefited from the treatment. It felt softer and had a natural bounce thanks to the nourishing products used.

While Svenson’s treatments are on the pricier side, the soothing luxurious experience from start to finish, coupled with the informative professional consultations before and after the spa, makes it a worthwhile experience.  

If you’re looking to doze off and be pampered, this may not be the spa treatment for you. However, if you want a comprehensive, science-based treatment with advanced technologies focused on your hair needs, including scalp and hair follicle health, Svenson will give you the ultimate care.

For many families, visiting Hong Kong Disneyland is more than just a trip – it’s a milestone. It’s where little ones get to meet the characters they love, experience the magic of fairy tales, try iconic Disneyland treats, and create core memories with loved ones. However, a visit to this enchanting destination can also be a source of stress, especially for parents juggling the young ones’ needs while trying to make the most of the park’s attractions.

If you’re planning a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland with babies and kids, preparation is key. From understanding ticket prices to knowing the height requirements for rides, we’ve got tips to help you make your family outing smooth and unforgettable. Be guided by some reminders below:

Visiting Hong Kong Disneyland: Plan Ahead

When planning your HK Disneyland visit, make sure you check weather websites for forecasts. Hong Kong can get hot and humid so make sure you bring hats and fans. You can also download the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort official mobile app so you can look into park hours, review maps, and locate the attractions you want to visit.

Take note of these must-dos before your trip:

• Buy tickets in advance

You can book online to avoid long queues at the entrance and take advantage of discounts and bundles. Ticket prices vary depending on the Tier Level. General admission tickets are priced from HK$669 to HK$939 per person. Children aged 3 to 11 and seniors aged 60 and above can enjoy a discounted ticket price of around HK$639. Kids under 3 years old enter for free. For families planning to visit frequently, the park also offers two-day passes and Magic Access memberships. Be sure to check the official Hong Kong Disneyland website for promotional offers, as discounts and packages for families are often available. Don’t forget to note the validity date of your tickets.

• Plan your visit and note the attractions

Attractions like "It's a Small World," "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh," and "Dumbo the Flying Elephant" are perfect for little ones. Maximize the app and check if there are character meet-and-greets as well.

• Pack smart!

Bring essentials like diapers, baby wipes, formula/milk, snacks, sunscreen, and a change of clothes. Lightweight strollers are a must or you can rent one at the park.

Once at the park, you can also take advantage of Hong Kong Disneyland’s family-friendly amenities such as:

Baby Care Center: Located on Main Street, U.S.A., the Baby Care Center provides a comfortable space for nursing and diaper changes. Facilities include a nursing room, diaper-changing stations, highchairs upon request, and access to a refrigerator, microwave, and hot water for preparing baby meals.

Companion Restrooms: To make restroom visits easier, the park features six Companion Restrooms where parents and kids can go together, avoiding any inconvenience.

Stroller Parking: Convenient stroller parking areas are available near major attractions. Simply leave your stroller with a Cast Member, enjoy the attraction, and retrieve your stroller with the provided parking ticket.

Height Requirements for Rides at HK Disneyland

Safety is a priority at Hong Kong Disneyland, and height restrictions are in place for certain attractions. For example, rides like Hyperspace Mountain and RC Racer require riders to be at least 102 cm tall, while the Iron Man Experience and Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars have a minimum height requirement of 112 cm. Don’t worry if your little ones don’t meet the height requirements — there are plenty of kid-friendly options they can enjoy.

You can also catch shows like "Mickey and the Wondrous Book" or the evening fireworks are relaxing ways to keep kids entertained without standing in line.

A full list of height requirements is available on the park’s website or at the entrance of each ride, so you can plan your itinerary accordingly. You can also review all the attractions online.
