Best head spa in
the Bay Area.

Five things: a scalp diagnosis (ideally under a microscope), a multi-stage cleanse, a structured scalp massage measured in tens of minutes rather than in passing, targeted serums or masks matched to the diagnosis, and a proper finish (blow-dry, not a wet towel). If a listing can't name those stages, it's a massage or a shampoo upgrade wearing the name.

Our published numbers: $199 for 60 minutes, $279 for 75, $399 for 90 — with a one-time New Client Special at $99/$139/$219 and multi-session packages that bring the 60-minute seat down to $80–$90. We keep the full table on this page and on the scalp treatment hub so you can compare any other quote against it line by line.

Guests who make the trip usually come for one of three reasons: the microscope diagnostics, the LED red-light tier for thinning, or a chronic flake/itch cycle that add-on scalp massages never touched. The Caltrain math helps — Mountain View station is one block from our door, so SF is about an hour of reading time and San Jose about 20 minutes.

Same service family. 'Head spa' is the Japanese salon term and emphasizes the ritual — the quiet, the massage, the cadence. 'Scalp treatment' emphasizes the clinical half — diagnosis, actives, protocol. Ours is both: the ritual structure with prescription-grade Kérastase, Milbon and Leonor Greyl lines and licensed scalp therapists.

It supports the environment hair grows from — clearing follicle-crowding buildup, improving comfort, and on our 90-minute tier adding LED red infrared light and a growth serum. It is not a drug and we don't pitch it as one: for diagnosed medical hair loss, run it alongside a dermatologist's plan. The AAD's hair-loss pages are the honest primer we point guests to.

Monthly for maintenance; weekly or biweekly short courses (3–10 sessions) for active concerns like dandruff or postpartum shedding. Packages exist because scalp work is cumulative — the 5- and 10-session rates reward the cadence that actually produces visible change.

Microscope consultation first — you see your own scalp on screen — then the ritual mapped to what the scope shows: double cleanse, massage, serum, mask, blow-dry. First-timers usually book the $99 60-minute New Client Special and upgrade later if a concern warrants it.

The 75-minute Anti-Dandruff ritual is built for flake, itch and irritation cycles, and the microscope tells us which kind of flaking you actually have. Persistent greasy-yellow flaking with redness can be seborrheic dermatitis — a medical condition the American Academy of Dermatology describes well — and when we see that pattern we'll say so and suggest a dermatologist alongside the salon work.
