I got the Deluxe Treatment with blow dry and honestly, it was one of the best self-care experiences I've ever had in a minute and I did not expect to become this interested with scalp care afterward. But what really made the experience stand out was Michelle's energy. She's hella cool, down to earth, and immediately made me feel comfortable. First, she examined my scalp with what has to be the best camera in the world. After my initial shock wore off (from discovering just how disgusting I am), she explained everything in a way that genuinely got me interested in scalp health... something I had literally never thought about. I had a bunch of ridiculous questions and she answered every one without making me feel rushed or dumb. Not once did she try to upsell me or push products on me, which honestly made me trust her even more than I already did. The double shampoo and scalp exfoliation made me feel really clean. Not "fresh hair" clean, more like "healthy" clean. During the treatment, I could literally feel her removing God knows what (dead skin, residue, mystery head stuff??) that I've been walking around with for who knows how long. Of course the waterfall halo is relaxing, all the different smells instantly put you into zen mode, and the steaming treatment feels fantastic but it's really Michelle's magic touch that makes the experience chef's kiss. I've had a lot of massages, including plenty focused on the scalp, and I can honestly say whatever she's doing is more relaxing. I highly recommend booking with Michelle at Brainwashed LA and definitely get the Deluxe Treatment so you can see what's really going on up there. The entire appointment felt personalized and calming. I left with my scalp feeling incredible and I feel refreshed. read more

Michelle is so sweet and welcoming. Her space is clean, cute, and relaxing. I LOVED the service(so relaxing) and my hair feels amazing!!! 100% would return, and will definitely tell all my friends about the 10/10 experience :) read more

Everything was wonderful about this experience! Michelle was so welcoming, accommodating, thoughtful, warm and personable. I knew I would enjoy the scalp treatments as I had done it before elsewhere but it was even better than I hoped. The setup was so comfortable. There was a leg elevation pillow and something about the way the bed met the sink was perfect; no neck discomfort like I sometimes have gotten at other places. I'm 70 years old so details like this are especially appreciated. I especially enjoyed the halo wand rinser. Overall a delightfully relaxing experience! read more

I had been dying for a head spa experience for quite some time, and I finally splurged. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, so much so that I nodded off a time or two. The ambiance oozed relaxation, from the dark room with twinkly lights to the calming music in the background. Michelle was incredibly knowledgeable and gave me some good tips about scalp care. The only minor complaint would be the smell of chemical that came into the room from the nail salon outside. This obviously isn't something she can control but it did snap me out of my little Zen zone a time or two. You should definitely book a little relaxation time for yourself with Michelle at Brainwashed LA. read more

This was my first head scalp spa experience and I absolutely loved it. I decided to go with the Deluxe Head Spa, which was $110 for 60 minutes. From start to finish, it was incredibly relaxing. The process felt soothing, and by the end, my scalp was squeaky clean and refreshed in a way I didn't even know was possible. Michelle was super sweet and made the whole experience even better, explaining each step along the way and making sure I was comfortable. It's definitely something I'd love to treat myself to a few times a year. If you've never had a scalp spa before, I highly recommend trying it at least once! read more

I've always wanted to try this and I'm so glad I did! Service included a scalp analysis, treatment, and post treatment analysis. Michelle took her time to explain what she assessed, talked me through the treatment, and provided recommendations on maintaining a healthy scalp. I have to mention that my scalp is usually dry and flaky during that time of the month and I noticed a huge difference after just 1 treatment. I am definitely getting future treatments with Michelle as she made me feel at ease, it was so relaxing, and best of all the results were amazing! read more

Truly could not recommend this more. Relaxing and invigorating at the same time. Michelle is aces -- can't wait to go back!

Absolutely 10/10 totally worth it! Michelle was incredibly generous and so kind. The treatment was just... drool worthy. Calming, relaxing, just what I was looking for. My scalp feels refreshed and rejuvenated. She did such a great job breaking down and explaining what may be going on with my scalp health and offered alternatives to my at home routine. Don't think about it a minute more the price is totally reasonable and worth it! read more

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience with Michelle. The service was unlike anything we've experienced. Everything was extremely clean and the decor/lighting made me feel super calm. Michelle was super kind and professional. Great personality and she definitely knows her craft. She went into great detail with us on how we can keep our scalp healthy. She also showed us a before and after, and how our heads really transformed after the service. She exemplifies great passion for her work and it was the most relaxing thing we have experienced. Very very impressed on how much I enjoyed my experience with Michelle. This to me is a form of self care that should be more in demand. 20/10 we will be coming back. read more

Michelle was quick to respond to my appointment request. Her space is beautifully decorated and feels like a nice little getaway. She gave a great explanation and close up view with her cool gadgets during the consult about my concerns. The service itself was awesome and very relaxing.

See all

Michelle is incredible - I have seen her twice and the deluxe service is totally magical, effective and relaxing.

Michelle truly has magical hands! This was my first going to a head spa, and it was more than worth it. There are few other times I've been as relaxed as I was during this experience. Michelle went through my scalp so thoroughly, yet so gently. As someone with quite a few ear piercings, I particularly appreciated how gentle she was. Whenever I go to the salon I almost always have at least one earring snagged on, but Michelle was so careful as to avoid snagging any of my earrings. All the products that she used not only felt great, but smelled amazing! (It was like aroma therapy). Also, she does a fantastic job with curly hair. 6/5 stars! read more

Overall fun experience. Good vibe and workers are friendly and nice. We had a good time 6 year old and 15 year old included.

Michelle is so knowledgeable and kind, and is very thorough! I felt so refreshed and clean after the spa treatment, and she recommended products to use to improve the chronic dryness of my scalp. I will definitely incorporate these spa treatments into my routine - they are essential! read more

Absolutely love to be swept away in this lovely head spa. The treatment and massage is wonderful. I always come out feeling invigorated with a clean shiny scalp and hairhighly recommend and Michelle is such a sweetheart read more

This was an amazing experience. At first I was hesitant because I have long curly hair and was unsure of how my hair would be treated. Michelle listened when I told her I was tender headed and worried about the combing portion. She took excellent care of me and my worries. The room was cozy and calming and was so relaxing I almost fell asleep. I received this as a gift for my birthday but would absolutely purchase the experience for myself again. 10/10 would recommend!! Thank you Michelle for the amazing experience. read more

My daughter and I were extremely pleased with our hair treatment sessions and plan to be back!

Wow. This was amazing. I did the 60-minute mindful recharge and it was worth every penny. Michelle met me at the front & she is super friendly. Located inside the hair salon, this place is a vibe. The treatment room is welcoming & cozy. The treatment. Again...wow. It was like facial for my scalp. Everything was so relaxing. My hair had never felt softer & cleaner. I'm glad I went with the 60 minute session. 30 minutes would have felt too rushed. I had no problem finding street parking on Ventura. read more

10/10 experience. Michelle has created such a cozy space. She is so kind and personable as well as knowledgeable about the scalp.

Loved everything about the experience. Michelle was so personable and easy to talk to. She was really knowledgeable about scalp health and hair products in general.

Perfection in every way. Will be back again for sure. Thank you, Michelle!! read more

Absolutely Incredible - 11/10 Experience! From start to finish, this treatment was everything I could've asked for and more. Michelle is an absolute gem--so professional, kind, and genuinely comforting. Her warm demeanor immediately made the entire experience feel luxurious and personalized. I originally went in unsure about the condition of my scalp. It had been feeling dry and flaky for weeks, but thanks to Michelle's in-depth scalp analysis, we discovered it was actually the opposite. She took the time to explain everything clearly during the Deluxe Head Spa treatment and wow, it was exactly what I needed. The treatment was beyond relaxing and left my scalp feeling refreshed and healthy. Michelle also worked with me to create a plan to keep my scalp and hair in great condition moving forward. If you're on the fence or still reading through reviews--stop now and book your appointment! I truly can't recommend it enough! read more

10/10 the most relaxing experience! I feel so clean and refreshed. Michelle had such a welcoming personality. I loved every minute of it.

This was my first time having a scalp treatment done and I am hooked! Michelle is so welcoming and explained what was going on with my scalp from the photo analysis and then she explained each step of the treatment she applied to the wash. It was so relaxing, I fell asleep toward the end of the process. My hair is naturally wavy/curly and she helped my curls along with styling creme and then I was on my way. My scalp never felt so tidy and my hair feels so soft and my curls look great! read more

This was my first experience with a head spa, and it was truly magical! Brainwashed LA is a cozy oasis tucked away in a strip mall salon. Michelle was warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived, and she offered a lot of education about the process. The massaging and water felt so amazing that I got ASMR chills from my head to my feet multiple times. Loved the products as well! After the session, Michelle reviewed my scalp with me, and I could see and feel the difference. She even sent a follow-up text with a recap and link to the shampoo. I highly recommend this place if you want to relax and reset! read more
