Halo Head Spa was such a treat to myself, and a treat that I will definitely indulge in for myself and others in the future.
It all started with Groupon sharing about some other head/scalp spas in the area, but they were all in downtown Sacramento, which did not catch my interest. Thanks to Yelp, I found Halo!
Just a note about location, it is hidden. The address is listed as Sunrise, but it is really on Pennsylvania. I think the main streets that can be helpful are get onto New York, turn on to Lemon heading north, and keep going until you dead end into the parking lot. It is actually really nice because you are off the main road, and besides one loud car, I couldn't hear anything outside on Fair Oaks or Sunrise.
I reached out because I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, and Tiffany responded and was so great at answering all my questions and making sure I was set up for success for a nice spa day. I ultimately went with the Deep Detox Package, Dry Brushing for Arms, Jade Eye Mask, Jelly Mask, Self-Heating Eye Mask, and Natural Sea Salt Scrub, and since only a few of the professionals do the head spa, Tiffany scheduled me with Kaela.
When I officially arrived, it was so nice feeling like I was away from everything physically. Just walking in I felt relaxed, and Kaela was so sweet from the beginning. It was really cool to be able to look at my scalp, and Kaela did a great job explaining what she was seeing and giving an overview of what to expect as well as the products they use. Then she had me complete a survey the company they use has that tells the professional which of the main products to use based on the client's scalp and hair needs. Then we went to the room designated for the head spa (which it sounds like the expansion others have mentioned is coming along and that soon two people will be able to get a head spa at the same time). The room was dark with ambient lighting and peaceful music, perfect for relaxing. While overall everything was amazing, there was definitely one highlight and one thing I would not request again. For what I would not request again, that would be the Jade Eye Mask. I can't really complain because it was free and didn't take away from anything else, but it just wasn't the cooling mask I thought it would be. It just felt like an eye mask you can get at the store, and not like the same quality as everything else I experienced, but then again, it was free as opposed to everything else. I would just rather have more time with the heated eye mask in the future instead.
For what stood out, which was pretty much the opposite of the jade eye mask, it has to be the jelly mask. The picture on the website does not show Halo's actual jelly mask. First, Tiffany reached out to me before my appointment to ask which "flavor" I wanted: Aloe Vera or Egyptian Rose. Both sounded nice, but I have sensitive skin that I know is fine with Aloe Vera, so I went the safe route while trying something new. I figured they had two packets and you got one. I don't know what about the price made me think that, but I was so surprised when I could hear Kaela behind me whisking the mask after confirming what I was doing. Then she spread little bits at a time on my face. It was a freshly made jelly that became a mask after setting on my face! It was amazing and not at all what I expected! I think it is so cool that they have a way of making it fresh for each customer, and that definitely had the cooling effect I was looking for. I highly recommend this as an add-on.
After, it was neat to be able to see how much cleaner my scalp and hair was, and Kaela did a quick style. She did such a great job and I got a lot of compliments! People who knew that I was going to a head spa were definitely surprised that I came out with my hair looking so much nicer than it did when I went in with the style, and the products they use smell so incredible! I'm not sure if it was the serum she sprayed in my hair, the other light products she used to style my hair, or a mix, but even when I refreshed my curls with other products and even after my first time washing my hair, the beautiful scent of those products still came through and smelled so good. The best part about that: they sell the products they use. So when I go through the products I currently have by a few other companies, I definitely want to start buying these products and see how I like using them regularly. And I will definitely be back for more head spa experiences with Kaela! read more
