Laura Kirby and Katie Wills co-founded Elysian Head Spa in November 2024 to optimize scalp and hair care. With four head spa rooms and a dedicated hair restoration suite, a team of cosmetologists and estheticians is bringing personalized treatments to Central Austin.
How it started
Wills comes from a background in critical care, ICU nursing and work in a cardiology and heart failure clinic. After spending 15 years in traditional medicine, she was looking for a way to transition into a new role. Wills discovered head spas in 2024 during a trip to Japan and hoped to bring the experience back to Austin.
Kirby has a background in sales and always wanted to venture into the wellness and beauty industry. When Wills introduced her to the concept of head spas, the pair became business partners and friends, teaming up to open Elysian.
