Hue: Royal Spa Ritual with Jade Facial & Herbal Hair Wash

Summary

Royal spa experience in Hue with herbal treatments and jade facial

You’ll step into Hue’s Cam On Spa for a royal-inspired ritual: herbal hair wash with head-neck-shoulder massage, soothing jade facial care, and an Imperial foot soak. Enjoy local tea on arrival and light panna cotta after your treatment. Expect gentle conversation with your therapist and a sense of calm that lingers long after you leave.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to feel so calm just walking into Cam On Spa — there’s this quiet hum in the air, almost like the city outside is on mute. The woman at the desk handed me a cup of hot tea (something floral I couldn’t quite place), and I remember thinking, “Okay, maybe I really do need this.” Our local therapist, Linh, smiled and asked if I’d ever tried a Hue-style herbal hair wash before. I hadn’t — honestly, I was mostly curious about the jade facial part.

The main room smelled faintly of lemongrass and something earthy. When Linh started pouring warm herbal water through my hair, it felt heavier than I expected — not unpleasant, just grounding. She massaged my scalp and neck in slow circles while soft music played somewhere behind me. There was this moment where everything else sort of faded out except for her hands and the sound of water trickling down the basin. It’s weird how you notice tiny things when you’re forced to slow down.

After that came the jade facial — cool stone gliding over my cheeks while Linh explained (in gentle English) how it’s been used by Vietnamese royalty for centuries. She laughed when I tried to say “ngọc bích” (jade) properly; probably butchered it but she seemed happy anyway. The whole thing lasted about 100 minutes but honestly, time got kind of blurry. At the end they brought panna cotta and more tea — not what I expected after a spa treatment but somehow perfect. I still think about that quiet feeling walking back onto Chu Van An street after.
