If the leak is coming from where the shower head screws onto the pipe, that's simple to fix. You just need to tighten it up a little bit. If that doesn't fix it, remove the shower head and put about 2 or 3 wraps of Teflon tape over the pipe threads. Then reinstall the shower head. That should do it.

You don't need to turn the water off to the shower. Just don't have it running while doing the "fix".
