I had really high hopes for Glo Headspa, but this ended up being a really disappointing experience.
My partner and I both booked the Deluxe Headspa ($160 each). The space itself is beautiful, and the start of the experience was great. They offer tea and a treat, and you change into a robe and slippers before your service. That part felt really nice and set the tone well.
After that, it went downhill.
My provider, Shae, was kind, but the service felt very inexperienced. For context, I'm a licensed hairstylist, and I told her upfront I didn't have any scalp concerns, I just wanted to relax and enjoy a massage.
The setup was immediately uncomfortable. The room is very dark when you're brought in, and the bed has these really high wooden armrests. I didn't realize there were arm massagers underneath them, so I spent the entire service with my arms resting awkwardly on the hard wood, constantly shifting trying to get comfortable. I left with bruises under both of my arms.
What really bothered me is that this was easily avoidable. My partner said she also didn't notice the armrests at first, but her provider immediately pointed them out and helped her get situated. No one said anything to me, even though I was clearly uncomfortable the whole time.
As for the service itself, there was basically no massage. I asked for firm pressure and got none. No real scalp massage, no face massage. It was mostly light combing, a vibration tool, and a very gentle roller. It felt awkward and surface-level, not relaxing or intentional. I've honestly given better scalp massages during a basic shampoo.
I left with a headache, sore arms, and feeling like I completely wasted my time and money. For that price, this should have been a much more skilled and thoughtful experience.
To make it worse, they texted after asking for feedback. I responded saying it was a bad experience and never heard back. I would have much preferred to handle this privately, but clearly that wasn't a priority.
I wouldn't recommend it. read more
