Serving the whole Tablelands
The Atherton Tablelands' Head Spa
Halo is in Yungaburra, in the middle of the Tablelands, which puts it within a short drive of every town on the plateau. If you have been searching for a head spa, a scalp treatment or a slower kind of hair appointment anywhere between Mareeba and Ravenshoe, this is it.
Why people drive to Yungaburra for it
There is no other dedicated head spa on the Tablelands. Halo's two scalp resets are two to two and a half hours each: a scalp facial, water and steam therapy, sound and aromatherapy, massage of the neck, shoulders, hands and head, and a blow wave to finish. Hair services run the same way, slower and calmer than a standard salon visit, with the signature shampoo ritual at the start of every one.
Emily has 24 years of hairdressing behind her and is a qualified nutrition consultant, which is why the Halo Scalp Reset opens with a proper consultation about what your hair and scalp are telling you, not just a wash.

Halo is at Shop 2/4 Kehoe Place in Yungaburra village, up the stairs on the corner between the Yungaburra Hotel and the butchery, with free street parking out the front. Open Wednesday to Saturday, with late appointments on Wednesday and Thursday by arrangement, so a visit after work from Atherton or Malanda is easy.
Make it a Tablelands day
Plenty of clients pair a treatment with the things Yungaburra does well: breakfast or lunch in the village, the Saturday markets on the fourth weekend of the month, platypus watching on Peterson Creek, a swim at Lake Eacham, or the drive around Lake Tinaroo. If you are coming up from the coast, the Cairns day-trip page has the route and timings.
