I was so excited to discover that there's a Korean-inspired scalp care salon nearby in Pleasant Hill. I've been looking forward to trying H2O Head Care Plus, especially their 75-minute "Special Scalp Care" treatment. This review, however, is specifically about their exceptional responsiveness and customer service. After reading so many positive reviews, I reached out to ask if they would consider donating to our children's school fundraiser. I was putting together a "Korean Self-Care" auction basket featuring K-beauty skincare, teas, snacks, and gift certificates - including one for a Korean head spa experience. To my surprise, they responded within a day and were more than willing to contribute a generous gift certificate. Their willingness to support our school community was truly appreciated. The basket ended up selling for $360 and was one of the top three most sought-after items at the auction - thanks in large part to their contribution. We are incredibly grateful for businesses like H2O Head Care Plus that show up for the community and support local schools. I'm even more excited now to experience their services firsthand. Thank you again for your generosity! read more

I definitely recommend going to this place at least once. Why? First timers get a 20% off their first treatment which is a great deal. Treatments cost anywhere between $150-$200 depending on how intense of a clean you get, massage, facial, etc. I was taken care of by Jenny and she did a great job with me. She showed me with the camera what my scalp looked like which was honestly not flattering at all but it helped to make the decision on what type of treatment to get. I got the special scalp care to help get rid of the all the built up product in my hair that was causing my dandruff and she made sure to put treatments on to moisturize my super dry scalp. Worth every penny. If you look at the after photo, you can see how pink and healthy my scalp looks. Jenny really took her time, making sure to cover every inch of my scalp and was gentle and firm at the same time. I will definitely be back again. There's also another deal that if you become a member, I think the cost is $60 for 5 years, then you can get 20% off every treatment. Not bad! I may have to consider getting it. read more

My first head spa experience ever was positive, relaxing, and refreshing! They offer 20% off your first visit. I initially booked the beginner package, but after my scalp was checked with a camera and shown to me, I upgraded to the Special Scalp Care to get a scalp deep cleaning to address buildup on my hair follicles. The deep cleaning and shoulder massage was so satisfying, and my head felt so clean afterwards, which I could see the results of with the camera at the end of the service! They also blow dry your hair and use Olaplex products at the end of the service, and give you a small bottle of water. I would recommend this place to first timers for the scalp deep cleaning, especially because of the discount! Service was kind and helpful without being too pushy about upgrading, which I appreciated. read more

I absolutely love coming to H2O Head Care Plus to maintain the health of my scalp and hair--it's important, people! I became a member a while back, so I get 20% off each session, and I try to come at least quarterly. The space is always clean, the staff is always professional, and every visit is consistently relaxing. My scalp and hair feel amazing every single time. During my most recent visit, they were running a promotion: a free 30-minute facial with any head spa treatment. I see an esthetician regularly, so I'd never tried their facials before, and there isn't a detailed description of what they offer. But since it was free and short, I figured why not? I took a peel at what they used afterwards but tt ended up being a simple, gentle facial using a rose cleanser, aqua gel exfoliation, a soothing facial massage, and a thick gel-like mask (looked like some sort of hydrogel). No extractions--just the basics. They started with the facial, and while the mask set, she continued with my usual head spa. The facial was relaxing and my skin felt nice afterward, but I'll be sticking with my regular esthetician since we've been working toward specific skincare goals for years now. That said, I will definitely keep coming back here for the head spas! They're unbeatable. Always a great experience and always worth it. Highly recommend! read more

Overall the experience was super relaxing and I really enjoyed the advanced treatment. The shoulder massage was great!

It's not bad. Will I be back? Maybe if only someone is paying for me. They offer 20% off 1st time visit which is nice. The place felt clean. I got the Special Scalp care for scalp issues. I called ahead to see if the facial included extractions. They said yes. I didn't receive extractions tho. Towards the end of the facial I asked about the extractions and the tech didn't seem to understand what I was asking. She later understood and said that I didn't request for extractions and that's why she did not do them. I'm getting the feeling that perhaps each staff member may not be estheticians? I'm not sure if that's true but that's my guess. They did show me a couple of up close pictures of my scalp, but did not do a thorough analysis. She just provided a simple explanation like that I had some dryness. I think I expected more from this experience like a more in depth scalp analysis. But they didn't advertise that so that was an assumption on my end. Aside from the lack of extractions, it was an overall good experience. The scalp and hair care portion was very relaxing! My hair felt amazing. They dried my hair with a Dyson hairdryer and used Olaplex products. It was fun experience but not sure if this is something I personally want to pay for regularly. Ask about extractions as your experience may be different from mine. I have been to a Korean spa where they did a full body treatment including hair wash for similar price as this, and I would rather spend my money there, more bang for your buck IMO. But to each their own! If you have the budget for it, this was cool to experience! read more

I enjoyed the experience. A bit pricey so I'll probably do every 6 months or so but overall was very pleased.

I scheduled an appointment ahead of time for two people and was surprised that no deposit or credit card hold was required. To me that is a plus because they are showing their reliance on guests too attend or cancel at a reasonable time. I had the intermediate experience which is originally $150, but received a 20% discount as it was my first time visiting. My friend had the craziest experience that also came with a facial. Overall, the analysis of the scalp plus the shoulder massage and scalp massage that you receive in addition to your treatment as well with the price. My friend did tell me that she would skip the facial because it felt more like a face massage versus a treatment with extra extractions and exfoliation. After the treatment is complete, they walk you out into the main lobby and complete blow drying your hair with a Dyson blow dryer and Olaplex hair products. Everyone was so nice and offered bottled water after the service as well. I really enjoyed my experience and have told a few people and hope they visit as well! read more

Incredible service and experience! I came here with a gift certificate and originally booked the "Advanced" package, but after seeing how congested my scalp was, I decided to upgrade to the "Expert" package, and I'm so glad I did! Summer took care of me and was incredibly gentle and attentive throughout the entire service. This was my first time getting both a facial and a head spa, and I'm now fully convinced this needs to become a quarterly (if not bi-annual) ritual! I walked out feeling relaxed, refreshed, and completely rejuvenated. It was a true spa experience from start to finish. The space is clean, calm, and clearly well-maintained. I'll definitely be back.. and I'm seriously considering a membership! read more

H2O Head Care Plus - Head Spa Room - Hair Salons Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

First time trying the Japanese-style head spa :P I booked a Saturday afternoon appointment for my mom and me. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the staff and escorted to our rooms. I initially booked two Beginner sessions, but you're actually able to upgrade onsite after they conduct the initial scalp assessment (a bit of upselling... lol oh well). I ended up changing to the Special Scalp session as I was curious how my psoriasis would respond. The initial scalp assessment is pretty quick, my specialist ran the camera through my scalp and pointed out some problem areas while recommending new hair wash techniques to improve my scalp health. I thought it'd be longer, but it was maybe 5~ mins. The remainder of the session was washing hair, scalp scraping, and some massage. TBH a TON of it was scalp scraping, I think all my dead skin cells (and maybe the first layer of my skin) were purged that day LOL. The session ended with hair drying and some styling. Overall, very relaxing-- my scalp definitely felt cleaner and less oily for the week or so after. There's definitely long-term benefits to be had there. I tried their advice of washing every 3 days, but my scalp was way too oily to tolerate it. I think I'd like to try different treatments to see what my skin responds best to. NOTE1: We were running late after some traffic and they graciously moved our appointment time down without sacrificing any time. Super considerate gesture (and lucky us that they were still available then!) NOTE2: I've also purchased gift cards here as Christmas gifts and they're beautifully made! It comes in a red gilded envelope and on nice cardstock~ read more

First time getting a scalp spa treatment as nd it did not disappoint! Me and my three. Friends made appts on a Saturday in the morning, we walked in and staff were ready for us. We decided on the advanced package that include s a scalp treatment, hair mask and mini facial. I had summer working on e and she was absolutely amazing! She explained to me everything we would do, was very detailed & even suggested specifics for my scalp type. The ambiance in the room is immaculate. It is quiet dnd serene with the same water sound playing in the background that put me at ease. The facial was above and beyond and the scalp tee as menu left me feeling squeaky clean. I felt Absolutely relaxed. At the end they blow dry /diffuse your hair so you don't leave dripping. I beyond impressed. Will definitely be returning. read more

Ugh, if I could I would make this a monthly thing! I've been wanting to do a scalp treatment for yeaaaars when it was only offered in the LA area. I'm so glad it's become more popular & made its way here. I chose the expert scalp treatment with facial to treat myself for my birthday. I'm so happy I got paired up with Summer. I was hella raving about my experience to my fam after and found out my sis in law had the opposite experience because her lady was non stop talking about her family drama. So, highly recommend the expert with facial with Summer especially if it's something you're not going to do all the time. It was hella relaxing, they use high quality products like Olaplex. There were even some moments where I was like how is she massaging me so good at this angle lol?! I loved it so much I booked an appointment for my husband with Summer. Only negative was that they booked the wrong appointment and only gave him the beginner treatment without the facial and he didn't correct them because he had no idea what I sent him there for lol. read more

Finally a head spa nearby! I booked the advanced head care which included deep wash and scalp massage, should and neck massage, moisturizer repair hair mask, and facial. Took about an hour and 15 mins. Very relaxing and the massage was great! Lobby and rooms were clean. Would definitely come back! They have a membership available where you get 20% off services valid for 5 years and shareable! read more

I'm so glad a headspa finally opened up in the area! I've already been twice and loved both visits. It's tucked into a plaza with a bunch of food spots and plenty of parking - super convenient! One thing I really appreciate is that each client gets a private room--unlike some other headspas I've tried that use an open floor plan, which I never liked. Before the treatment, the staff showed me what my scalp looked like through a device and also gave me some great tips for caring for my hair after the treatment. The treatment itself was very relaxing and I may have dozed off a few times! First-time clients get 20% off, and they offer a membership if you plan on going regularly. read more

I have been wanting to try a head spa for the longest time, so I was so excited to find out that one was coming close by. It was my first time trying it and I have eczema along the edges of hairline, so I opted for the most advanced experience. It was the best hour and a half! The experience started with a consultation of my scalp. Then, it proceeded with a hair shampoo and massage. That seemed to be repeated multiple times. The massage didn't just stop at my head. My shoulders got some attention as well. After the whole treatment was over, my hair was dried using a blow dryer. All in all I loved it. My hair was so soft and clean for multiple days. I even noticed that my eczema area wasn't as itchy for weeks. I will definitely go again since I ended up getting a membership! read more

My birthday month has been filled with trying different spas and this place has definitely stood out for its unique services. A head spa- who knew?! Popularized in Korea, this spa is all about giving the upper part of your body some love, especially your scalp and hair, which I'm all about! Ambiance is clean and cozy with private treatment rooms and specialized staff who know how to make you feel amazing. They start off with taking pics of current state of your scalp and it made us want to get the special scalp treatment, which incorporated scalp, neck, shoulder massage, hair mask, heated eye mask- I'm sure I fell asleep at some point because it was so relaxing. The tingling from the water treatment tickled at first but they make sure it doesn't go in your ears. Afterwards, they show you the scalp after pics and wow- it looked so much better, so clean! They also give you water, dry your hair, and you leave feeling rejuvenated. You get 20% off your first visit and you can sign up for a (sharable) 5 year membership for $59.99 and get 20% off every time you come in! read more

I'm ready to take my friend with me one month, and my husband another. My daughter took me to H2O Head Care after her earlier positive experience. The calm ambiance in the entry and the treatment rooms creates a relaxed hour for a close look at your scalp condition, then an indepth scalp massage, deep cleaning and conditioning, and, with the intermediate option, a hair mask. Once you redress, they dry and brush your hair. Count on cleanliness, quiet music, and capable staff. In my case, thank you to Jenny for her meticulous work. read more

My hair looked so healthy and nice for days afterward. My coworkers asked me what I did because my hair looked so good. They all went there to try and loved it as well. So far I had referred 7 people there already in a month. The parking is free and easy. The place is clean and new. I signed up for a membership too and look forward to my next appointment. read more

First timer- was a great experience. Tran was awesome and went above and beyond. I did the special treatment and although I don't know how it compares to the basic, it was awesome.

I came to H2O Head Care Plus and had my first head spa experience. I did the special scalp care package plus facial and it was the most relaxing thing I've done in a long time. The facial was probably a 6-9 step process and my skin was glowing afterwards. The head massage was heavenly. I couldn't believe how oily and full of buildup my scalp looked before (was able to see close up imaging). After the treatment, my hair was the softest I've ever felt it. A million times better than even the best blow out you've had. Not to mention, the experience included an amazing head, neck, and shoulder massage. I'll definitely come back every few months to relax. read more

They gave you a massage on your shoulders, neck and scalp. It was cool to also see what my scalp looked like close up. All in all very relaxing and super worth it. read more

I gifted my mom with the beginner head care package for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! She said that the experience was very relaxing - she actually ended up falling asleep while her head was being washed. She enjoyed the massage and being able to look at her scalp before and after. The scalp treatment takes 1 hour, then the hair drying, etc afterwards takes about 15 minutes. You get a discount if it's your first time coming here, so I paid $115.20 with tip included. Would definitely recommend! read more
