Headspace
Headspace is a shop run by Flow and Craymond in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3. It is found to the left of Inkopolis Square, in the center of the Galleria.
Description
Headspace sells headgear items that can be purchased with cash, which come with their default primary ability, the default number of ability slot(s) (Splatoon 2) or star power (Splatoon 3), no experience, and empty secondary ability slot(s).
There are six (Splatoon 2) or nine (Splatoon 3) unique headgear items at a time, which are randomly chosen among eligible items and cycle at midnight UTC. In Splatoon 3, Headspace shares its daily stock with Naut Couture and Cooler Heads: purchasing an item in one of the headgear shops removes it from other headgear shops.
The availability of shop gear by initial star power is based on the player's level. In Splatoon 3, gear items exclusive to the catalog need to be obtained from it before they start appearing in Headspace.

Whether owned items can be repurchased differs between games:
- In Splatoon 2, owned items can only be repurchased if their primary ability is different from their default ones i.e., obtained from SplatNet 2; they are labelled as "Owned" and cannot be repurchased otherwise.
- Repurchasing an item costs the same as buying it for the first time.
- Repurchasing an item fully replaces the owned item, resetting all its abilities to their default state.
- Shop items that can be repurchased have a lime loop icon on the top-left corner and have a gray background (as with "Owned" and unaffordable items).
- There is no limit on how many times a specific item can be (re)purchased.
- In Splatoon 3, each gear item can only be bought once per day, but owned items can be repurchased, which gives the following options:
- Replacing the owned item with its brand new duplicate (with default primary ability, default star power, and empty secondary ability slots), with the same price as buying it for the first time.
- Upgrading the owned item's star power to the next one, which costs cash depending on its star power.

Players can tilt to rotate their character and click to try on the highlighted item, and pressing purchases this item. Pressing displays further information about the selected item. Pressing zooms in on the player's head, allowing for a closer look at the headgear. Pressing allows players to enter Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe and pressing similarly allows them to enter Ammo Knights, while pressing takes players back to Inkopolis Square.

Trivia
- Headspace seems to be inspired by Lush cosmetics, given the blackboard writing, bath bombs, and creams being shown in the background.
