Have you heard about Kaniva’s newest wellness experience — a Japanese Head Spa?

Chelsey Merrett has called Kaniva home for the past seven years. Two years ago, she launched Chelsey Merrett – Head Spa + Scalp Care, a small home-based hair care business that quietly built a reputation for quality and care. Now, she’s taken the next step: operating inside Seven & Sage Kaniva, bringing a luxurious, city-style wellness experience to our rural town.

Open every Tuesday, Chelsey offers Japanese Head Spa treatments for both men and women — a soothing, sensory experience designed to relax and refresh. It’s a service growing in popularity across the cities, and Chelsey believed it was something that could benefit Kaniva too.

Special thanks go to Tiarnee, who has kindly opened her beauty room for Chelsey to use on Tuesdays.

Tiarnee herself offers beauty services from the same space on Wednesdays and Fridays, creating a shared hub of health and wellness — and a great example of women in business supporting one another.

Chelsey’s story is a wonderful reminder that business confidence is alive and growing in Kaniva.
