I came here on Wednesday for my birthday and first head spa experience. I booked with jojo and she was amazing. It was great to see how dirty my scalp was before and how clean it was after. They blow dry your hair and offer candies and water after treatment. I’m coming back to try the Thai massage soon. I do think…

I had a really great experience with the 90-minute head spa and facial! It was super relaxing, and I loved that the service also included a back massage, shampooing, and conditioning. Lucy was excellent with her massage technique, especially since I asked for mild to high pressure. The products smelled lovely, and you could tell a lot of care went into the overall experience. The space is on the smaller side, but I actually liked that. It feels intimate and personal rather than like a big, corporate spa. There was a slight language barrier here and there, but we managed just fine, and it didn’t take away from the experience. Another big plus is the location. There aren’t a ton of places offering this kind of service around the Mission Gorge Road/Allied Gardens area, so having one this close to home is a huge bonus. Considering the quality of the treatment and the overall value, I would absolutely come back. It’s nice to find a place nearby where you can treat yourself without having to make a whole day of it!
